Mob - Games

In gaming, 'mob' refers to common enemy units or NPCs that players encounter in groups, often serving as obstacles or resources for progression. These entities typically exhibit predictable behaviors, such as patrolling or attacking on sight, and are designed to be defeated efficiently to gain experience, loot, or advance through levels. Mobs symbolize the grind and challenge inherent in many genres, from RPGs to MMOs, where they populate worlds to create dynamic combat scenarios. Their repetitive nature can represent themes of conflict, survival, or the player's growth, while their design balances gameplay pacing with resource management, making them a fundamental element in interactive storytelling and mechanics.
