-Type attribute is essentially a description of what the object's original name was before it was altered. When Objects (npcs or creatures in this case) are created, they by default, use the originating object name. When objects are given custom names (derived by the server's naming process) then the object no longer has its default name. To inform players what the original object name was, the Type attribute is used. The type attribute only appears on objects that have had their original name changed (as an additional note this is exactly how the Variation Of attribute works for other object files). As an example, the mandalorian death watch overlord's base object name is "human male," in this instance reflecting what species the particular object is. If this npc was spawned without any alteration to its name, then its name in the game world would be spawned as "human male" and when examined would have no type attribute, as the attribute would not appear since the name was not changed. If however, the server assigned a unique name to the npc (Peclou Sunwaver as an example), then the type attribute would appear in the npc's examination stats.

		+
		+
		+	The Type attribute on npcs and creatures is linked to the general attribute naming system used through out the game. Every object in game is issued a default name, found linked in the originating iff object file. The object's default name can be observed by following the linking string path hierarchy within the file:
		+
		+	'''objectName -'''
		+
		+	* npc_name: human_base_male - links to the stf file npc_name.stf and the human_base_male ID. This is the base original name for the object (npc/creature).
		+
		+	'''detailedDescription -'''
		+
		+	* lookAtText - npc_lookat: human_base_male - links to the stf file npc_lookat.stf and the human_base_male ID. The player will see this value in the Type attribute listing when examining the npc.
