If a creature is fighting from starvation or protecting its young (usually in its lair), this affects morale.Rate monsters based upon their movement speed and movement types.This includes transportation magics.Assign NPCs goals and priorities. Monsters will attempt to expand their territory, but the majority only attack to defend it and leave off when a threat has left. If staying alive is a higher priority, then they will leave behind all sorts of treasure.Killing and attacking to the death are uncommon. Most creatures don't want to die, but will kill to survive. If the food (treasure) is costing more than it's worth, than morale will likely break and the creatures will run. Sometimes monsters aren't looking to eat you anyways, but enslave you or just steal your stuff when you aren't looking.</blockquote>
