During this Live we learned that ghasts:

  1. Are biological creatures
  2. that they have infant forms (that appear to have external gills like salamanders)
  3. that they rely on water for their life cycle to complete
  4. that, related to #3, they like chomping on snowballs
  5. that they're neutral and even friendly when not dehydrated like a frog in summer

In addition to the points in the graphic:

  • Flat faces with the eyes at the front, like many amphibians
  • smooth skin
  • mouth that looks tiny until opened (have you seen an axolotl or caecilian with its mouth open?)
  • fireballs may be analogous to skin and saliva-based weapons in amphibians
  • has zero mercy
  • cannot aim at all
  • makes sounds quite like the axolotl when you think about it
  • operates on 1.5-2 brain cells at all times

... We may be able to conclude that ghasts are amphibians.

If we look at this phylogenetically, then we may be able to speculate that ghasts are highly derived (specialized) temnospondyls, which are huge prehistoric amphibians who were like 25% mouth.

IMPORTANT ADDENDUM: Minecraft Dungeons has a baby ghast that is absolutely a larval ghast
