  GHASTS ARE VOICED BY A SLEEPING CAT.

One other Minecraft monster owes its vocal rumblings to a real world creature. Any player will recognize the high-pitched whine of the ghast, the game’s resident block-shaped fire breather. These sounds are actually the result of an accidental audio recording of Minecraft music producer Daniel “C418” Rosenfeld’s cat as it was suddenly awakened from a nap. Rosenfeld originally planned to have his cat voice the game’s ocelots, too, but was only successful in eliciting a meow mixed with a purr and ended up having to download real ocelot audio.
