Does anyone know of a resource for enemy behaviours design in 2D games?

I'm not looking for resources that talk about state machines or behaviour trees but more simple movement patterns/ behaviours that achieve interesting gameplay.

Like here is a list of the enemies in Zelda 1 and description of what they do.

Or something like the first half hour of this video where it explains the simple logic behind the goombas in Mario 64 and how with some simple rules there are a lot of interesting things happening

Created a small archive page because it was getting out of control.

After two months in the dangerous zone of "this will be fun once we finish a big list of things" I'm happy to report the new game is fun.

First time doing enemy AI "seriously". I ended up doing a behaviour tree system in C that seems like it's gonna work and I'm quite happy with.

I even did a JSON parser for https://github.com/pruttned/owl-bt which is not perfect but good enough and one of the only engine agnostic editors I found.
