Each of the five active overlords has its data stored in a series of arrays in WRAM, indexed by the overlord slot (0-4).
| Address | Description |
|---|---|
| `$0F90,X` | **Overlord Type:** The ID (1-26) that determines which logic to run via the jump table.
| `$0FA0,X` | **Overlord State/Action:** The current state of the overlord's internal state machine, similar to `SprAction` for normal sprites.
| `$0FB0,X` | **Overlord Timer A:** A general-purpose timer.

When a room is loaded, the `Underworld_LoadSingleOverlord` (`$09C35A`) or `Overworld_LoadSingleOverlord` (`$09C779`) routines read the overlord data defined in the level editor and populate these WRAM slots.
