'''A mob spawner''' is a creature or job accessible by [[Ghosts]]. They are often referred to as "ghost roles" because only round observers can use them. These roles vary in power and complexity, ranging from roleplaying as a station [[Pets|Pet]] to joining a tribe of [[Ash Walker|angry lizardmen]]. They exist to give observers something to do in the case where the round is not interesting enough to watch. Often, the more powerful spawners are isolated from the station and on very small occasion actually interact with the crew.


==What is a Mob Spawner?==
==How to use Mob Spawners==
A mob spawner, or ghost role, is a creature or job accessible by [[Ghosts]] using the menu found at the bottom of their screen. These roles vary in power and complexity, ranging from station [[Pets]] to tribes of angry lizardmen who are hellbent on killing any and all intruders on lavaland.

As long as you are still able to enter the round, you will be able to use the mob spawners. Do keep in mind, if you die during the round and are still revivable, you will no longer be cloneable or revivable if you choose a ghost role. You can locate the menu for mob spawners by clicking the "Ghost" tab while you are observing the round. There you will see two buttons, they are called '''Mob Spawners''' and '''Respawn as NPC'''. Both will allow you to spawn in as mobs but offer different options.

Using a Mob Spawner will allow you to spawn in to various other roles. These often come in the form of intelligent life marooned in Lavaland or deep space. Whatever the role is, you are expected to follow their objectives and RP the character. Mob Spawners are not just an excuse to inject yourself back into station matters or metagame against other crew members. This will all be outlined in the mob spawner role description and detailed to you when you spawn in as a mob. Some mob spawners only spawn on chance at the beginning of a round, that means that you can roll either just none or most of them during a round.

A mob spawner is a creature or job accessible by Ghosts. They are often referred to as "ghost roles" because only round observers can use them. These roles vary in power and complexity, ranging from roleplaying as a station Pet to joining a tribe of angry lizardmen. They exist to give observers something to do in the case where the round is not interesting enough to watch. Often, the more powerful spawners are isolated from the station and on very small occasion actually interact with the crew.
