If type is set to "Family" then all members of this NPC Family will engage in combat if the player attacks this NPC.

For example, you have an "Undead" NPC family and a Skeleton Warrior & a Lich are part of this family. If the aggro type is set to "Family" and setup on the Lich then once you attack the Lich, every Lich & Skeleton Warrior that are in range will come to the aid of the Lich you attacked.

Additionally, if you were to set the "Undead" family up on an Aggro Link on let's say a Bear. Then once you attack this Bear, every Lich and Skeleton Warrior that are in range will come to this Bear's aid.
