despawns
Ceases to exist
Despawns is the third-person singular of despawn, a gaming term for when an entity—enemy, item, or character—disappears from the game world.
Objects despawn after a set time, when players move too far away, or when the game needs to free up resources: The loot despawns if you don't pick it up in time.
The opposite of spawn.
