## About The Pull Request
before, if u wanted to make ur animal hunt for food, u had to give them
the find food subtree, the attacking subtree, and had to edit their
targeting stratedgy to include items. this makes it so u only have to
give them just 1 subtree which will handle everything it needs to. also
makes it alot more customizable, u can now set a hunger cooldown for ur
animals, and cute emotes for them to play after eating food
## Why It's Good For The Game
makes it more convenient for future devs to include food hunting
behaviors to their animals, while also making it more customizable
## Changelog
🆑
code: animals' food hunting behavior has been refactored, please report
any bugs

## About The Pull Request
- pet bonus element now works by getting an emote fed into it.
- all pets who had pet bonus emotes now have it as a proper emote they
can use if controlled by a player.
## Why It's Good For The Game
- standardises pet bonus so it's easier to give more behaviors to
petting, like sounds :3
- allows basic mobs controlled by players to use the emote at will,
which will allow them to react to situations more with emotes.
## Changelog
🆑 grungussuss
add: a lot of basic mobs and pets got new emotes
refactor: emotes triggered by petting pets work differently now, please
report any oddities with these behaviors.
sound: new emotes for basic mobs got sounds

## About The Pull Request
[Implements the backend required to make targeting datums
global](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/6901ead12e419530b7f646ea21094d4432d7385e)
It's inconsistent with the rest of basic ai for these to have a high
degree of state, plus like, such a waste yaknow?
[Implements
GET_TARGETING_STRATEGY](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/d79c29134d03424a9f8bacd64c08cb41775fe8c0)
Regexes used:
new.*(/datum/targetting_datum[^,(]*)\(*\)* -> GET_TARGETING_STRATEGY($1)
Renamed all instances of targetting to targeting (also targetting datum
-> targeting strategy)
I've used GET_TARGETING_STRATEGY at the source where the keys are
actually used, rather then in the listing. This works out just fine.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Not a misspelled name through the whole codebase, very slightly less
memory load for basically no downside (slight cpu cost maybe but not a
significant one.

## About The Pull Request
Turns skeletons (the simple animal version) into basic mobs. This was
another incredibly simple conversion, since skeletons don't really do
anything but walk at you and beat you to death.
Because I thought it was funny, though, skeletons will now seek out
cartons of milk and drink them. Real milk will heal them for a
significant amount, but soymilk, being false milk, will deal them
grievous injury instead! Skeletons beware... I didn't add any other
sorts of milk due to limited ability with existing AI behaviors to
identify milk containers (they actually only look for the carton items).
Other than that, I've done some flavor adjustment for skeletons' attacks
- their effects and sounds will now suit the weapon they're actually
holding - for example, skeleton templars now actually use their swords
instead of slashing you with their horrible fingers. Along with this I
gave the basic skeletons a normal slashing sound, instead of the weird,
impactless hallucination sound they used to use for some reason. I never
liked that sound.
Finally, I've reflavored the spear-wielding skeleton mobs to "undead
settlers", following the naming of the corpses dropped by snow legions
as of #76898, rather than being named after an offensive term for Inuit
people. These skeletons do, after all, appear in settlements on alien
worlds.
To enable the flavor of milk drinking, I expanded the `basic_eating`
component to allow drinking rather than eating flavor, with a different
sound and its own set of verbs. This deletes whatever they drink from,
but c'est la vie.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ticks 6 more entries off the simple animal freeze. While skeletons are
still extremely simple, being largely-identical mobs that only exist to
beat you to death, being basic mobs should make them slightly better at
this job. Also, again, I think it's really funny that you can distract
skeleton mobs with milk, or even hurt them.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Hostile skeleton NPCs now use the basic mob framework. They're
a little smarter, and they also have a slightly improved set of attack
effects and sounds. They love to drink milk, but will be harmed greatly
if any heartless spaceman tricks them into drinking soymilk instead.
Please report any bugs.

## About The Pull Request
The axolotl sprites were based on the lizard sprites so now the axolotl
inhands and onheads will fuel the lizard equivalents to complete the
circle of life.
**Lizard inhands and onheads:**
one of the sprites had a mistake and I didn't wanna redo the entire
picture so here's the updated sprite:
**Space lizard inhands and onheads:**
The held weight of lizards has been changed to tiny because they look
like they could fit into your pocket. This value wasn't specified before
and it seems to default to normal weight, which seems a bit much for a
creature that's about the same size as a mouse.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More cute little animals to hold on your hands. And they can fit into
your pockets now too!
## Changelog

image: added lizard inhand- and onhead sprites

This was pretty simple since they didn't have too much custom behavior,
and whatever they did have already had AI behavior. I got really burned
out the last two times I wrote intricate AI action/decision behaviors so
I'm just taking it light and doing the bare minimum.
one day our shackles will be free of the simple animal scourge. they're
also a bit more intelligent, and i daresay a bit cuter too now.
also that lizard gib animation has been sitting there for god knows how
long completely unseen, so let's actually hook it into the mob.
