(See the best response by NSBR.)
Code:
/mob/living/simple_animal/hostile/vannatusk/FoundTarget()
    if(target_mob)
        custom_emote(VISIBLE_MESSAGE,"stares alertly at [target_mob]")
        if(!Adjacent(target_mob))
            fire_spike(target_mob)

/mob/living/simple_animal/hostile/vannatusk/proc/fire_spike(var/mob/living/target_mob)
    visible_message(SPAN_DANGER("\The [src] fires a spike at [target_mob]!"))
    playsound(get_turf(src), 'sound/weapons/bloodyslice.ogg', 50, 1)
    var/obj/item/projectile/bonedart/A = new /obj/item/projectile/bonedart(get_turf(src))
    var/def_zone = get_exposed_defense_zone(target_mob)
    A.launch_projectile(target_mob, def_zone)

How do I make a child of the /vannatusk mob not execute this specific proc?

You'd have to define the proc for the child, making it not do anything.

God, I'm a goofball. I'd been trying to modify the proc of the parent to check for the exact mob. Thanks a lot!
