Herobrine Is the Main Antagonist Of Animation vs. Minecraft (not to be confused by the series). He is a powerful and enigmatic entity who first appears after possessing Red, using his newfound body to try and eliminate the five main stick figures and take control of both Minecraft and noogai3’s computer.
Though he debuts as a major threat, Herobrine makes an unexpected return in the AVM Shorts series as a supporting character. He takes on the role of a teacher in Monster School and later allies with the stick figures in The King, where he joins the fight against King Orange.
Herobrine is visually identical to Steve, the default Minecraft character, with the exception of his iconic eyes—glowing pure white and devoid of pupils. This eerie detail distinguishes him from ordinary players and adds to his mythic, supernatural aura.
