• A group of such creatures that appear at such a point; an alternate form of mob.

Less frequently, the term is applied to players -- only in the form Spawn(ing) Point:

• The points at which players appear on a map after transit, which may not be adjacent to the portals they came through. Also, the starting point of a mission, the initial locations of players on a PvP map.
