The Bear Trap is a placement structure that triggers when a creature or player walks over it, freezing them in place for a short duration. Admins use it to temporarily disable threats, prevent escapes, or control traffic in high-traffic areas without causing damage.
Once placed and triggered, the trap enters a cooldown before it can fire again. It works on both wild and tamed creatures, making it effective for temporary containment during emergencies or testing scenarios.
