monster_shalrath is the entity for placing Vores in a level.
Contents
Usage
Vores are best placed where there is not too much easy cover, so that the player has to move around, or even run away to avoid getting hit by the homing bombs the Vore fires. Giving the player too much cover can make Vores boring to fight, as the player can safely take potshots without ever really having to worry about Voreballs hitting them.
Vores actually work quite well in open areas with little cover, as it forces the player to run from the Voreballs, and can lead them to drawing the Voreballs into other enemies to create monster infighting situations.
