	Comments:	I'd always thought it was "non-playable" as well. (I added that gloss.)

	Refs:	ngrams
	Comments:	My bad, thought "non-playable" was the standard term, but "non-player" is way more common

	Comments:	The word mob/mobs is used similarly in English, with the distinction that "mob" usually means a monster/enemy walking around the game world, while in Japanese it's "minor character/background character".

	Comments:	i think the language source for sense 2 needs to be fixed. (should be something that sounds like "mob")
