If you are looking for the iron watermelon (item) go here
Note: Not to be confused with the Iron Watermelon's block.
The Iron Watermelon was a supposed entity added to Bloxd.io mid-2022 to jump scare players, but was later removed for obvious reasons. It was first seen by the user "Jokdok," a member of the Bloxd.io Discord Server.
Appearance[]
The Iron Watermelon is a white watermelon with black, round eyes and a straight, stern mouth, all of which are covered with a red, aura-like circle. Unlike the new recent mobs, this mob was 2-Dimensional. And only appeared at random times to jump scare you as a joke from Arthur
Lore[]
According to Arthur, owner of Bloxd.io, the Bloxd universe was created from the Potato Expansion (basically the Bloxd version of the Big Bang). This confirms that potatoes played an important role in the creation of the Bloxd Universe. The Bloxd Planet's moon exploded 1 billion years ago. Chunks of the Moon flew onto the planet, therefore explaining why there are Moonstones on the Bloxd Planet and why we can't see the Moon. It is speculated that Iron Watermelon has inflicted magic on Moonstones, which makes you able to teleport by using them (Moonstone Orbs) and also store items in the same realm at any point in time and anywhere (Moonstone Chests).
The Iron Watermelon Legends[]
Before the block update in Bloxd.io, the Bloxd Planet did not have infinite terrain generation. Arthur added Iron Watermelon to jump-scare and tell players "Not to go far." It is said that if players go more than 6,000 blocks away from spawn, they will get disconnected or be jump-scared by Iron Watermelon. This haunted the Bloxd.io community, so after the block updates, Arthur removed it from the game.

Image 1 shows a loading message in Bloxd.io that reads, "Ever seen a loading screen with a jump scare?" This message refers to the Iron Watermelon due to its ability to jump-scare players.
Image 2 shows a loading message in Bloxd.io that reads, "I heard there are secret mobs if you build high enough." This also refers to Iron Watermelon because if you go more than 6,000 blocks away from spawn in any direction, including building up, you will meet Iron Watermelon.
The ReCAPTCHA message of Bloxd.io also says “Human or Iron Watermelon?”.
Trivia[]
