''The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.''

This pattern is a still a stub.

Note: ''This pattern was first identified in the book chapter "Of Heroes and Henchmen: The Conventions of Killing Generic Expendables in Video Games" by René Glas<ref name="glas"/>. TV Tropes uses "Mook" for the same phenomenon<ref name="tvtropes"/>.''

[[Grinding]], 
[[Kiting]], 
[[NPCs]], 
[[Inhabitants]], 
[[Units]], 
[[Waves]]

=== Can Be Modulated By ===
[[Loot]]

=== Diegetic Aspects ===

=== Interface Aspects ===

=== Narration Aspects ===

== Consequences ==
As [[Enemies]] that can both be numerous and can easily be created on the fly, [[Generic Adversaries]] can be well suited to create [[Combat]]-oriented [[Grinding]]. 

If the behavior of [[Generic Adversaries]] aren't complex regarding prediction or co-operation, they can open up for [[Kiting]] behaviors from players.
