Critters: Difference between revisions

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

=What Are Critters=

Critters are usually 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.

==Pets==

These critters are mascots or pets belonging to certain departments or jobs.
