Home > Mobile (MUD)


 

A mobile or mob is a non-player character (NPC) in a computer role-playing game (especially MUDs and MMORPGs). Mobs are usually the wandering, monstrous NPCs that the player is expected to hunt and kill in these games.

The origins of this usage "mob" are inexact, but most theories point to "mobile" NPCs or "movable objects".

Players usually combat a mob in some manner, typically receiving rewards such as experience points and items. This type of combat is called player versus monster or PvM. This is opposed to player versus player or PvP.
