What's a word that means "NPC or Monster"

[Morrus]

Technically anything that is not a PC is a NPC. We tend to think of NPCs as the ones we talk to or give us quests and Monsters are the ones we kill. But that’s often not the case so there’s no real reason we have to continue using that terminology.

Wasn't really the question, was it?

I think I might change Extras to mean ALL non-PCs (monsters and NPCs), and use "mook" where I was using extras.

So we have --

Mooks
Extras
Heroes

 

[Morrus]

Guest Stars. Guest Characters. Guests.

I was very tempted with Guests!

You asked what to call NPCs and monsters and my answer was “NPCs”. Why do you need to split them up? Is the evil necromancer an NPC or a monster? Is the dragon that sends you on a quest an NPC or a monster?
