Description of the fields
guid

Appendix: Static Passengers (npcs)
Transports will load static passengers when:
- transport moves from inactive to active grid
- the grid that transport is currently in becomes active
It will unload static passengers when:
- transport moves from active to inactive grid
- the grid that transport is currently in unloads
The loading process will get the map from column Data6 (called SpawnMap) in table gameobject_template, and then creates all creatures and game_object that have the same map.
Creatures and gameobjects spawn points will be used as relative to the transport.
Note that transports have their own map: https://wow.tools/dbc/?dbc=map&build=9.1.0.38312#page=1&colFilter[1]=Transport
