Bug Description: Huggers will not pounce at viable hosts, occurs *somewhat* randomly but is gaurenteed at the start of everyround. Something triggers them working properly, but I've never figured out what. Has occurred since the patch for huggercombat came out.
I've been looking to see what causes the fix to happen, I *think* it has something to do with carriers, or with a human opening an egg. But I'm not sure. All I know is that it makes carrier REALLY fucking hard.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Throw hugger or open egg w/ viable host nearby.
2. Examine hugger to determine if it's 'inactive'. They appear 'active' on throw/opening.
3. Watch as they sit there and die in 30 seconds.
Screencaps coming soon(tm)

It's a feature. 
"Memories can be vile. Repulsive little brutes, like children I suppose. But can we live without them? Memories are what our reason is based upon. If we can't face them, we deny reason itself! Although, why not? We aren't contractually tied down to rationality. There is no sanity clause. So when you find yourself locked down in an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember: There's always madness. You can just step outside and close the door, and all those dreadful things that happened, you can lock them away. Madness... is an emergency exit."

Not jumping on monkeys was closed, but it happened again to me, might be the same problem.
