0000436: Voracious Cave Crawler don't move or attack
I was playing adventure mode and found a Voracious Cave Crawler. He didn't move at all, maybe because it had no legs. Neither it attacked me, even if I just stayed beside it. Maybe a problem in the raws. For its size and description, it should be suppodsed to be quite an opponent, but my adventurer made short work of it.
It wasn't in the list of creatures of the Arena, so I couldn't rerpoduce it. Maybe if I find another.

To spawn the cave crawler in arena, you need to remove the ARENA_RESTRICTED tag from its raws entry (should be in creature_underground_next). It would be helpful to know if this reproduces in arena.

Found it again in adventure mode, to same results. Tested in Arena, the problem looks like the fact it hasn't any kind of eyes. Controling it make it able to move, but he can't see anything unless it is attacked.

Found one in Fortress Mode, he killed my sheriff and moved around spreading terror just fine.

I encountered one in fortress mode. It ran up to a locked door I had and sat there doing nothing. Later I opened the door and sent two miners to kill it with no injuries.

Is this a case where the [extravision] tag should have been applied to this creature? I don't see eyes or extravision in the raws for these critters.

Finally gave these critters extravision for 0.31.15.
