An NPC is a Non-Player Character. It is an entity with some form of AI that may be able to move around the map, attack with weapons, etc., that is not directly controlled by the player. Examples include Combine soldiers in Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2 and hostages in Counter-Strike: Source Counter-Strike: Source.

NPCs are sometimes referred to as monsters (especially in Half-Life Half-Life).
