Russian term or phrase: агр
Добрый день!

Очень нужна помощь геймеров! Заранее огромное спасибо!

В русском геймерском сленге есть термин "агр", т.е., согласно словарю, "агрессивный моб, который нападает сам при приближении к нему игрока.". Есть ли подобное сокращение в английском? Вот исходное русское предложение: "Главное - не попасться на глаза аграм".

Большое спасибо за помощь!

If you go with pure slang, I'm sure you can use aggro as a noun. Hey, it's English. Watch out for nasty aggros when you go into that cave.

It should also work fine as a standalone term, as a modifier.

Otherwise, you can always go with "aggro mob" or "aggro NPC."
