Critters: Difference between revisions

For Lavaland mobs see [[Shaft_Miner#The_Wildlife_-_Non-Sentient|Shaft Miner]].

=What you need to know about critters=

Critters are controlled by the game's artificial intelligence, not to be confused with the [[AI]]. This AI is remarkably limited in many respects, which most often manifests in subpar pathfinding and limited reaction to the physics systems that human controlled mobs have to deal with. This makes them unpredictable and frustrating as both allies and opponents.

|A fluffy fennec fox that dwells in cargo.

|E-N spawns in the [[Research Director's Office]].

|[[Ian]] spawns in the [[Head of Personnel's Office]].

Ian can be dressed up in a variety of hilarious outfits, commonly found in the [[theater]] or around the station.

Please don't throw him in the laundry machine.

If you kill Ian, expect to be lynched.

The secret objective for every HoP is to get Ian on the shuttle alive, to return to Centcom.

|A moon-rat that is always murdered in the Arrivals Garden.

|Held in a display case inside in the [[Research Director's Office]]. Lamarr is a de-fanged [[alien]] facehugger, who likes to harmlessly latch on to people's faces.

|The often forgotten station pet that dwells in the Arrivals Checkpoint.

|The (not really) harmless and mostly terrible goat. He spends his time plotting in the [[Chef]]'s [[Bar#Kitchen|freezer]]; it's best to leave him there. Not only is Pete a wily and murderous animal, but his caretaker, the [[Chef]], may just have the excuse he's always wanted for making you into a burger.

|Poly belongs to the [[Chief Engineer]]. Will annoy the hell out of you by stealing objects from your hand. He can also wear and talk over a headset. <s>Lets you know if the [[singularity]] escapes</s> Complains about the lack of [[hardsuit]]s repeatedly.

|Pun Pun spawns outside of the [[Bar]]. If you are the [[Bartender]], you are going to spend most of your shift protecting him from the [[Chef]]. This rarely works out well, as if the chef doesn't get him, science does.

The first burgers you eat on Space Station 13 are usually made of Pun Pun.

|Runtime is the pet cat of [[Medbay]]. She spawns in the [[Chief Medical Officer's Office]]. She is much less fun than Ian as she can't be dressed in silly costumes. If you work in Medbay, your secret objective is to keep her safe, and away from that brute Ian. Runtime likes to chase mice.

|Found in the gift shop, unlike most goats this one has been raised to be docile as possible making it the perfect pet!

![[File:Cleanbot.gif|64px|Cleanbot|link=Guide_to_robotic#Cleanbot]]
