The sham is a neutral monster in Minecraft Mini-Series. It first appeared in episode 4 on Eerie Island. It is also referred to as a haunted bed.

Behavior

The sham acts as a normal bed when left on its own. If slept or stood on for too long, it will "awaken" and attack whoever or whatever is on it.

Appearance

The sham has the appearance of an oak bed with a red blanked and a white pillow and sheet. When awake, it has black "eyes" in the pillow, a mouth with gray teeth between the pillow and blanket, and the legs of the bed act as movable limbs.

Trivia

• There was a feature in Minecraft Beta 1.3 through Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5 where a zombie or a skeleton had the chance of spawning when a player slept. This is similar to the sham's behavior except the bed itself is the monster.
• The sham was based on a minifigure made by Matel which in turn was based on a skin with the same name in the "Campfire Tales" skin pack.
  • The sham skin in the "Campfire Tales" skin pack was renamed to the bedlam. This was after it appeared in the episode and isn't referred to as such in the Minecraft Mini-Series.
• The word "sham" is used to mean something that is false or pretending to be something it's not. A "pillow sham" is a decorative pillowcase for storing pillows when they aren't being used.
  • The word "Bedlam" is used to convey a setting or scene of mayhem or confusion.
