Yep, they're a pain. Killing one accidentally is all to easy to do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
It's particularly annoying if you have an archer who is trying to conserve arrows and you have to waste them on things that are little more than scenery.
I don't think it would be hard from a programming point of view to limit the response to the victim's immediate family - say 5 of the critters. This way you could choose to stir a few up if it suited you without enraging the entire species. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
