Crabking Mob

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-04

Overview

The crabking_mob prefab implements two variants of the Crab King's loyal crab soldiers: standard mobs and knight variants. It sets up core components including health, combat, locomotion, sanity aura, sleeper, and loot dropping. The prefab uses an external brain (brains/crabking_mobbrain.lua) and a dedicated stategraph (SGcrabking_mob) to manage behavior. It also defines shared loot tables and configures AI retargeting, target sharing, and aggro logic.

Usage example

-- Example: Spawning a standard Crab King mob
local mob = Prefab("crabking_mob")()
mob.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)

-- Example: Spawning a Crab King knight
local knight = Prefab("crabking_mob_knight")()
knight.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)

Main functions
