[edit] Monster sounds
Monsters use sounds based on their state, such as idling, talking, inspecting, or spotting an opponent. When an event takes place, the client uses the appropriate sound for that monster for that state, and does not play the same sound for a certain amount of time in order to prevent an echo effect from nearby monsters. An MPQ file can keep monster sounds, with monster type determining the appropriate sound for each state. Some monsters do not have a sound response for some states. Some monsters have up to eight different sounds for a state, chosen at random.

[edit] Language
NPCs and intelligent monsters may use phrases or words to describe events. While English is used for human NPCs, intelligent monsters can use made up words and phrases to refer to certain actions. If the action is recognizing a fire, then a human can yell "fire" while a monster can scream or yell a word for fire based on the monster type.
Example:
Conversation, meaning:
| ID | Type | Meaning | Human | Monster |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Conversation | Suspicious noise |
|

| 2 | Comment | Spotting food when hungry |

[edit] Stealth
Intelligent monsters and NPCs can use stealth recognition similar to the Thief series of games. This requires a detailed level of dialog and interaction between NPCs.
- No acknowledgement: The NPC continues to perform functions around the player, converse with NPCs, idle, and continue routine.
- Vague acknowledgement: Caused by mild visual or auditive disturbances, which prompts a "startled" dialogue or comment.
- Definite acknowledgement caused by significant visual or auditive disturbances which causes the NPC to enter "search mode."
- Definite acquisition: Triggered by visual on the fully lit player, or face-first contact with a player regardless of the light level), prompting a direct attack.
