Passive

Passive may refer to either a trait creatures can have and a type of skill effect.

As a trait, it is only relevant when the creature is hostile to another creature. In that case, the passive creature will not aggro unless it is attacked, takes damage or is targeted by a skill that targets foes, or, if it is in one, its party is attacked.


 * This trait is mostly used in tutorial areas, and on charmable animals.
 * Unlike other passive hostile creatures, passive charmable animals' names will be colored green instead of red. Still, they will turn red once any offensive action is taken upon them.

As a skill effect, it is one that functions without the need of activation, just by bringing the skill. Examples of passive effects are the title effects, the 'bring your animal' part of certain ranger skills or many skills used to give certain unique traits to some monsters, such as Undead Sensitivity to Light.

Since passive effects are never activated, passive monster skills will never be visible to players.
