Aggressive behavior: Detects nearby players and actively chases them down until eliminated or lost from sight​​

Challenging combat: Equipped with custom weapons and stats to create memorable encounters

New structure: Shrek’s house now generates in Zone 1 plains, where Shrek can appear along with some loot.

New sound effects: Custom sounds for Shrek when he detects an enemy and when he wakes up after sleeping at night.
