Predator System

If a player character stays in a random encounter for too long, waves of NPC predators will appear and attack. You'll get a message that "You hear" something, often clicking, just before they attack. At first, this might be a mantis or ant. The waves get larger and more formidable over time. Watch for these warnings:
