Lamantin literally translates to Manatee in French, and that's where I got the inspiration for this mob.
They are semi-aquatic (cannot go more than 5 meters above sea level and need to be within 10 meters of water.) They are very peaceful and spawn in large groups, and if you attack one of them, they all attack you. The aren't that hard to beat individually, but because they attack in groups, they can be somewhat of a hassle. Once you kill one, they all flee into the water. The move slowly on land, but quickly in water.. If you kill one, you get blubber (possibly used in oil lamps). They are somewhat rare. The tail moves up and down to propel them in water, and their fins drag them across land.
Okay I actually really like this idea but I think the model would be better if it was more like this
And I think it would be great if it was set up like this:
They spawn in groups of 3-5 or so, 3 is the minimum, though. When they spawn they're in one of their 3 "modes" where they are sleeping on an underwater surface (so it could be on some sand, dirt, or even the glass roof of your underwater base)
The 2nd mode would be fleeing, which is activated if you either attack another manatee nearby, or kill a passive mob close enough to them (so killing a pig near the water could scare away any pesky manatees sleeping on your glass roof if you don't want to kill them)
So something like this:
Their 3rd mode would be wandering, where they just float around (slowly, since manatees are so slow) until they find either another manatee (in this case, they "pair up" and float around together) or find 2 or more other manatees (or only one more, if they already were a group of 2)
When 3 or more manatees are near each other (or another manatee finds a group of already sleeping ones), they all slowly float down and sleep until they are disturbed, in this case they would just flee again.
So something like this
Two more minor additions, they could possibly get up every once in awhile (or maybe only while wandering) to find grass blocks, which they would then eat the grass off of a turn into dirt blocks, or maybe even eating papyrus plants
It would also be cool if they would flee when you came by on a boat, but I'm not completely sure about that
Also I don't mind them not being called manatees, I'm just calling them that because that's what I know them as.
They're not drawings. And I don't want these mobs to be manatees. I specifically gave them no head, because it looks cute. They are mostly just decorative (hence the colors). The manatee is only where I got the inspiration.

I know, that's just my idea of how it might work.
I would prefer that they at least do a little more than just be decorations, though. Even if they look different, I think that their functions would work out nicely
Could you think of a drop from it?
Chicken= eggs and feathers
Pigs= Pork
Cow= Leather and Milk (Completely usless...So Far)
Sheep=Cloth block
You see what I'm saying?

well you see they could drop lard or something which can be used in lanterns... just sayin.
You should like make a semi aquatic seal, like one of those Antarctic ones, and it should spawn around holes in the ice of frozen oceans, so it can climb in and out of the water as it pleases, and it should drop like a fur that you can turn into a decorative carpet for your castle.

@ chadweb: your drawing are really humorous and funny. no offence to op but i like his drawing and mob behavior ideas better than the initial suggestion.

And nice drawings(@ Chadsweb) =P
Win drawings.

I like these more than the OP's sketches!
...
Roflmao... Best picture concept ever.
I also love the idea.
