// Crusher

/*
A.I. Behaviors:

- Sleeps and hangs in the air in a high place.
- When a player gets nearby, it begins "peeking" in their direction.
- When the player is below, tries to drop and crush them or any
  other mobile doodad.
- The top edge is safe to walk on and ride back up like an elevator.
