Slurper

The Slurper is a creature that attacks by rolling to the player, biting them and then jumping up and biting the players head. Equipping themselves as a item in the head slot, when equipped the slurper drains Hunger at a rate of 1 per few seconds, and gives off about the same radius of light as a Miner Hat. The source of the light is their eyes, which are made of Light Bulbs, making it a very useful renewable light source (Unless you don't have enough food).

Slurpers can easily be killed as attempting to move them with the mouse will cause an instant death. They drop two Light Bulbs when killed and occasionally Beard Hair.

Information
This is cut and paste right from the .LUA file for this mob: --[[ The Slurper is a mob that lives in the ruins. He will attach to the head of monsters that can wear hats. While attached as a hat, the slurper will slowly drain 	hunger. Slurper is only aggressive if it is very hungry.

If a slurper is full it will sleep. If a slurper is hungry it will agressily try to find food.

Hunger > 90% -> Get off head if you're on one. Hunger > 70% -> Sleep. Hunger <= 70% -> Wake up and wander the world. Hunger < 50% -> Start to signal that you're hungry. (need 	animation!) Hunger < 35% -> Seek out food (attack things)

Pretty simple right now - will improve later.

Gain hunger through something other than attacking? What does the slurper drop? Slurper should give a positive to the thing it is draining hunger from. Can't be armour. ]]

Trivia

 * A slurper with an empty stomach can stay attached for 140 seconds before it detaches itself to sleep.
 * Slurpers could be a reference to the game Half Life, for the slurper attaches to the player's head like one of the game's enemies, the headcrab.

Bugs

 * Slurpers can latch onto Woodie's werebeaver form despite the werebeaver having no item or equipment slots.  With an attached slurper, the werebeaver will appear to be missing limbs; usually his head and tail but sometimes his arms.
