Spawned mobs with no spawngroup

I'm working on fixing up the newbie spawns in Everfrost (peq database). Most of the mobs just sit in one place and I want to get them all going on paths like Live.

So I searched database and figured out the relationships with grids, npc_types, spawns etc and I think I've got a handle on that now.

So I go into the game and use both #npcstats and #wpinfo on a stationary bearcub to figure out where it comes from.

#npcstats isn't much use in this regard, but #wpinfo tells me the spawngroup and grid.

So I find a mob with a spawngroup and no grid assigned and #gassign 3 it. Nothing happens. No message back and when I #wpinfo the mob again, it still has no grid assigned to it. Looking at the wiki, it seems like nothing else is required to assign the mob to this grid. What am I missing? Or is gassign broken?


Also, I'm running across spawned mobs that have no spawn group at all. I assume these were added with #spawn. I'd like to remove them entirely, but I can't figure out where they are in the database. Every table entry I look at appears to have a spawngroup assigned to it and none of them are zero. Where are these little blighters hiding?
