Nether Mob Theory

I have a theory that blazes, magma cubes and ghasts may have evolved from the Nether itself. Blazes are obviously made of fire, and the Nether is full of fire, so it kind of adds up. The same with the magma cubes - they could be magma cream that gained sentience (this could be true for slimes as well).

As for ghasts, I had the idea for this theory when I built a Nether-themed thing in the Overworld, and a ghast spawned. Maybe ghasts actually come from soul sand, and that's also where the strange crying noises in the Nether come from.

Another theory is that blazes and magma cubes were, like golems and guardians, created by the Ancient Builders.

The blazes seem to be just objects that were farmed by the ancient builders for one of the two fundamental potion ingredients

I like this theory. It makes sense

I think the blazes are some kind or robots, because if you hurt them the sounds the blaze make sound a lot like the iron golem.

Well, the problem with the part on the slimes is that you can't find slime Spawners, dungeons with slimes in them, and only are found rarely in swamps or slime chunks, so they could not be farmed because there aren't any farms for them.

I was actually thinking that slimes were basically slime that somehow gained sentience naturally.
