I should bring this up because this is something that was possible in a specific MMO many years ago when they briefly tried to allow players to play as animals alongside normal humanoids. If you play as an animal, other players will generally be able to spot you based on certain non-AI behaviors you exhibit. This will generally include the following:
- Looking around in one place rather than placidly focusing on where you're trodding to
- Sprinting for no reason
- Attacking other animals of the same species for no reason
- Attacking any other species that shouldn't logically be attacked (deer attacking rabbit)
Chances are if you are spotted as an animal, most players will attack you on sight regardless..BUT if you make certain to disguise your behavior carefully you may be able to trick other players into thinking you are just an AI creature that doesn't have a normal "aggro" on humans until the very last moment when you attack! For instance, Humanoid players that are just starting off and have no weapons will simply stay out of the water to avoid Crocodiles - little do they know that you aren't an AI Crocodile and you are planning to sprint out of the water and chomp them up!
There are footprints for all characters, so tracking down a human and pretending to be AI might be a good way of getting a free meal on that tasty human meat!
