'''Critters''' are NPC life forms with simple behavior patterns. They come in a variety of forms, ranging from benign to horrific monsters that will destroy you instantly. Critters do not take damage in the same way humans, [[Cyborg|cyborgs]] and [[Monkey|monkeys]] do. They are immune to stun, temperature, and atmospheric conditions. They can move through space as if they had a jetpack and can safely stroll through a blazing plasma fire. The only way to harm a critter is through brute force damage or laser fire. Because many hostile critters can quickly overpower a human at close quarters, the latter is generally the only safe way to engage them. | |||
Some critters appear normally on the station, such as George the dog, the [[Chef|chef's]] sidekick Remi, [[Research Director|RD's]] Heisenbee, the docile bat Dr. Acula in [[Medical Director|medbay]] and the [[Captain|captain's]] lovable pet cat Jones. Skeletons can pop up when a [[Guide to Wizard#EXTREMELY UNFORGIVABLE CURSES|wizard]] descends on the station. Bats tend to follow when there's a [[Vampire|vampire]] around.

Critters are NPC life forms with simple behavior patterns. They come in a variety of forms, ranging from benign to horrific monsters that will destroy you instantly. Critters do not take damage in the same way humans, cyborgs and monkeys do. They are immune to stun, temperature, and atmospheric conditions. They can move through space as if they had a jetpack and can safely stroll through a blazing plasma fire. The only way to harm a critter is through brute force damage or laser fire.
