The Infernal Mobs mod adds rare special mobs with special abilites/buffs; these mobs are often much more difficult to kill than your average monster. Some abilities can be very annoying or dangerous when added together, such as Bulwark and Regen or Wither and Vengeance. Infernal mobs drop 4 times the experience and a random enchanted item (mod items included).
There are three kinds of infernal mobs:
- Rare - 2-4 effects, 2-4 times the base HP
- Ultra - 7 effects, 7 times the base HP
- Infernal - 11 effects, 11 times base HP.

Bosses
Bosses can become immensely powerful through the Infernal Mobs mod. Vanilla boss and most bosses added by Hexxit mods are liable to become supercharged. Bosses will gain and use abilities, although they will spawn at their base HP. However, these bosses will regenerate to their multiplied HP if they have 1UP, Regen, or any other kind of healing. Wither HP will hard cap at 300, but Pirate Bosses, Spider Bosses, Necromancers, etc can become extremely durable.

Loot
Unlike vanilla mobs, Infernal Mobs will drop mid-high level loot. List of possible loot (not complete yet):
- Diamonds and Diamond Tools/Armors/Weapons
- Meteorite Tools/Armors/Weapons
- Ender Giant Swords
- Shields/Gilded
- Livingmetal tools/Weapons
- Hexical Diamond
- Glowing bread
Note: If the loot dropped is enchanted, it usually is enchanted with high level enchantments (i.e. Sharpness III)
Trivia
- A Soul Shard spawner and vanilla spawners can spawn Infernal mobs.
- Nearly any mob can become Infernal, from bosses to smaller slimes spawned from killing larger slimes!
- If an infernal mob is healed (potion of instant health, etc), its HP will become the mob's original max HP (skeletons will go back to 20 HP, etc). This happens because infernal mobs' have bonus HP rather than increased max HP, so if the mob is healed in any way it will 'update' and return to the max HP (since it exceeded the max HP).
- Any mob's ability from this mod is disabled in the Rift Dimension.
- Infernal mobs can spawn from spawn eggs.
- Finding an infernal mob in the early game is quite an advantage, since it gives you the edge of a random item that is quite strong.
An Ultra zombie.
