per that last article:

4) Desire-driven AI. Most of the things a monster will do involve moving toward something or moving away from it. Here are some examples: The player: approach or flee. Treasure: collect it. Fellow monsters: approach to aggregate into packs, flee to keep monsters wandering around by themselves. Food: Go to it and eat it. Water: Go to it and drink it. Sounds: Investigate them, or avoid them. Hive queen: Stay near her. Stealth: Prefer to be in cells that the player can't currently see.
