Description of fields
guid
A unique identifier given to each creature to distinguish one creature from another. Two creatures can NOT have same GUID. If a new creature will be spawned it should be within the GUID range of the current expansion when creature was added first on retail.
For example Chromie is spawned in Orgrimmar and Stormwind, but was added in Shadowlands (9.x) on retail (expansion 8), so we would assign a GUID between 8000000 and 8999999.
Classic Only Spawns: Some spawns in 4.4.x are different then 4.3.x, we use last 10k
The GUID ranges are defined as followed: | Expansion | GUID range start | GUID range end | ℹ️ Event GUID subrange start | ℹ️ Event GUID subrange end | Classic Only range start | Classic Only range end | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------- | ------------------------- | ----------------------- | | Vanilla (1.x) | 1 | 249999 | | | | | | The Burning Crusade (2.x) | 1 | 249999 | | | | | | Wrath of the Lich King (3.x) | 2000000 | 2989999 | 2800000 | 2989999 | 2990000 | 2999999 | | Cataclysm (4.x) | 3000000 | 3989999 | 3800000 | 3989999 | 3990000 | 3999999 | | Mists of Pandaria (5.x) | 4000000 | 4999999 | 4800000 | 4999999 | | | | Warlords of Draenor (6.x) | 5000000 | 5999999 | 5800000 | 5999999 | | | | Legion (7.x) | 6000000 | 6999999 | 6800000 | 6999999 | | | | Battle for Azeroth (8.x) | 7000000 | 7999999 | 7800000 | 7999999 | | | | Shadowlands (9.x) | 8000000 | 8999999 | 8800000 | 8999999 | | | | Dragonflight (10.x) | 9000000 | 9999999 | 9800000 | 9999999 | | | | The War Within (11.x) | 10000000 | 10999999 | 10800000 | 10999999 | | | | Midnight (12.x) | 11000000 | 11799999 | 11800000 | 11999999 | | | | ⚠️ Wrath of the Lich King (3.x) | 1 | 249999 | | | | | | ⚠️ Legacy Cataclysm (4.x) | 250000 | 449999 | | | | | | ⚠️ Legacy Mists of Pandaria (5.x) | 250000 | 449999 | | | | | | ⚠️ Legacy Warlords of Draenor (6.x) | 450000 | 649999 | | | | | | ⚠️ Legacy Legion (7.x) | 650000 | 849999 | | | | | | ⚠️ Legacy Battle for Azeroth (8.x) | 850000 | 1049999 | | | | | | ⚠️ Legacy Shadowlands (9.x) | 1050000 | 1249999 | | | | |
Because the limit of several old ranges was reached, new ranges have been defined with the nomenclature {ExpID}000000 - {ExpID}999999. The old ranges should not be used.
Due to the revamp of events/holidays during the last few expansions, one subrange per expansion has been reserved to avoid leaving gaps when deleting old spawns. All holiday spawns should use this subrange.

phaseUseFlags
Mask
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| PHASE_USE_FLAGS_NONE | 0x0 |
| PHASE_USE_FLAGS_ALWAYS_VISIBLE | 0x1 |
| PHASE_USE_FLAGS_INVERSE | 0x2 |
PhaseId
Determines in which phase the creature is in. Available phases can be found in Phase.db2
PhaseGroup
Determines in which PhaseGroup the creature is in. A PhaseGroup sets a creature in multiple phases at once. PhaseGroups can contain more Phases than you actually need. Available PhaseGroups can be found in PhaseGroup.db2
terrainSwapMap
- no description -
modelid
The model ID associated with the creature. Note that two creatures that use the same template can have different models. See creature_model_info for more information on model-specific characteristics.
This can be left at 0 and a random model from its assigned models in creature_template will be assigned by the core.
equipment_id
The ID as defined within creature_equip_template corresponding to the entry. The value essential defines the equip:
- -1: A random equip from the set of equips in creature_equip_template will be chosen.
- 0: No equipment defined.
- 1+: The individual id within creature_equip_template.
position_x
The X position of the creatures spawn point.
position_y
The Y position of the creatures spawn point.
position_z
The Z position of the creatures spawn point.
orientation
The orientation of the creatures spawn point. (North = 0.0; South = pi (3.14159))
spawntimesecs
The respawn time, in seconds, of the creature.
wander_distance
The maximum distance that the creature may spawn from its spawn point. Also controls how far away the creature can walk from its spawn point if its MovementType = 1.
currentwaypoint
The current point of waypoint_data that the creature is on, if any.
curHealthPct
The health percent (1-100) that the creature will spawn with.
MovementType
Same as creature_template.MovementType
| ID | Type |
|---|---|
| 0 | Idle; stay in one place |
| 1 | Random movement inside the spawndist radius |
| 2 | Waypoint movement |
A creature.MovementType will override a creature_template.MovementType record.
npcflag
Same as creature_template.npcflag
A creature.npcflag record will override a creature_template.npcflag record.
unit_flags
Same as creature_template.unit_flags
A creature.unit_flags record will override a creature_template.unit_flags record.
A full list can be found /src/server/game/Entities/Unit/UnitDefines.h#L118
unit_flags2
Same as creature_template.unit_flags2
A creature.unit_flags2 record will override a creature_template.unit_flags2 record.
A full list can be found /src/server/game/Entities/Unit/UnitDefines.h#L156
unit_flags3
Same as creature_template.unit_flags3
A creature.unit_flags3 record will override a creature_template.unit_flags3 record.
A full list can be found /src/server/game/Entities/Unit/UnitDefines.h#L182
ScriptName
The name of the script that this creature uses, if any. This ties a script from a scripting engine to this creature.
StringId
- no description -
VerifiedBuild
This field is used by the TrinityDB Team to determine whether a template has been verified from WDB files.
If value is 0 then it has not been parsed yet.
If value is above 0 then it has been parsed with WDB files from that specific client build.
If value is -1 then it is just a place holder until proper data are found on WDBs.
If value is -Client Build then it was parsed with WDB files from that specific client build and manually edited later for some special necessity.
