In most games what a mob attacks and how is determined by some sort of code switch. If you consider the number of mobs on the map and attached to the spawn points etc its not unreasonable that one of these switches has been set wrong.

I find it amusing that there are any npc that don't behave like the others. I would assume, like a lot of games and cgi characters, that Elite 99rs have a different personality than Hellbugs. If this has already been programmed, why would one single enemy be glitching/not attacking? Like someone pasted in a 'dumb' version that hadn't be programmed yet?

I would assume that when the map was designed a prefab with the wrong personality rules was inadvertently grabbed from a menu that contained hundreds.

I suppose...but do you think that, for instance, a Elite 99er Blacklung has more than one personality type? So in my mind there should have been a menu with one of each enemy type...but that is my logic.

The most likely scenario is that there are a bunch of personality rules, these are then attached to a model along with separate rules that determine damage, health etc. these models and attached rules are then bundled together as a prefab (or whatever Trion calls them) I would guess that there a a whole bunch of different prefabs per mob for their different uses in the game.
