	These creatures not only target you, they also anticipate where you are moving, and move to block you and cut off your escape route. This causes you to stop by accidentally swinging, and if enough creatures are close, you can end up trapped with no balance within seconds. Creatures that fall into this category include some upper level Trools, the Mantis family, some upper level Bears and Delta Toads.		These creatures not only target you, they also anticipate where you are moving, and move to block you and cut off your escape route.

Creatures that fall into this category include some upper level Trools, the Mantis family, some upper level Bears and Delta Toads.
	*The only way to escape interceptors is to move directly away from it, as opposed to being able to slip by as can be done with most creatures that chase you. If you unequip you weapon, you will slide off them instead of swinging and be able to get around them too. Having a macro to equip and unequip your weapon quickly makes this a lot easier.

			Gorvin's RC2 macro that detects wheelup and wheeldown can be used to quickly equip or unequip a weapon, as long as it is configured to ''gRC_wheel_down "RC_toggle_disarm"'' & ''gRC_wheel_up "RC_rearm"'' . A link to gorvin's macro is available on the [[Macros\|Macros]] page.

	Many creatures move in relation to the nearest exile. Because of this ''habit,'' when you are learning how creatures move, standing still* and watching a creature's movement is the quickest way to learn their pattern and timing if it is anything beyond basic charging at the nearest exile. Watch how it circles and ~~attack~~ in a predictable pattern. After a about 10 seconds of feralling, it comes in for an attack. Learn to time this, you can lead the creature to the group or trap it on a wall or other obstacle—including bricks, rods & stoners (B/R/S).
