12 12  Every enemy in the game needs to have access to their very own inventory. This can probably use the {{info}}MAWInventoryComponent{{/info}} already used for the player, though there are gonna be some extra things to it so a new component might be needed. The inventory will be populated with items on __enemy spawn__ instead of on-death. The items that will occupy the inventory will be defined through a {{success}}Data Table{{/success}}, so designers can easily tweak values later on.

50 -* The corpse or player moving out of interaction range
