Hi Carnivale
Good to know you are having fun with those beasts =)
All aliens have an AI driven by the game core. Unfortunatelly, sometimes they get stuck, and after some time, they start moving again. And I don´t know why... I think they like to eat robots a lot. Try to offer some tasty flying robots, with salt and pepper. They will love it.
Monsters spawn with part of its full hit points, depending of the current Evolution Factor and the number of players on line. More players, more HP...
