A reference description of Hercules's mob_db.conf mode field.

Monster Mode Legend:

Constant Name Bits Value Description
MD_CANMOVE 0x00001 1 Enables the mob to move/chase characters.
MD_LOOTER 0x00002 2 The mob will loot up nearby items on the ground when it's on idle state.
MD_AGGRESSIVE 0x00004 4 Normal aggressive mob, will look for a close-by player to attack.

MD_CHANGECHASE 0x00400 1024 Allows chasing mobs to switch targets if another player happens to be within attack range (handy on ranged attackers, for example)
MD_ANGRY 0x00800 2048 These mobs are "hyper-active". Apart from "chase"/"attack", they have the states "follow"/"angry".
Once hit, they stop using these states and use the normal ones. The new states are used to determine a different skill-set for their "before attacked" and "after attacked" states.
Also, when "following", they automatically switch to whoever character is closest.
