 	'noyaw'				If true this mob will not automatically change yaw
 	'particlespawners'	Table of particlespawners attached to the mob. This is implemented in a coord safe manner i.e. spawners are only sent to players within the player_transfer_distance (and automatically removed). This enables infinitely lived particlespawners.
