The Ghast is a flying mob that patrols between random waypoints within 1-60 blocks, adjusting its course every few seconds. When a player is spotted within 64 blocks and line-of-sight is established, it enters attack mode and rotates to face the target. It charges for 10 ticks before firing a fireball, then waits 40 ticks before it can attack again.
Special
Immune to fire damage. Fires fireballs at players within 64 blocks when line-of-sight is achieved. Texture changes to "/mob/ghast_fire.png" while charging (when attackCounter > 10). Emits distinct sounds for moaning, charging, firing, screaming when hurt, and upon death.
