There's some strange evolution going on in Etceter: After a few rounds of slaying the chicken respawned invulnerable - I could target them still, but couldn't damage them by any means (AOE magic, arrows). Also, they seem to move away from their spawn point in a straight line, which doesn't match their normal pathing.

Sometimes when I enter Etceter, I encounter that chicken flock in a bugged state already, today they worked normally for maybe half a dozen rounds of respawn (I was gathering feathers), then all the chicken broke and respawned in invul/beeline mode. For what it's worth, I was in Single Online mode.

 

As odd as it sounds, those Etceter chickens have a schedule, like the blacksmith or the grocery merchant, and while they are pathing to their assigned area at certain times of the day they are invulnerable. It's freaky, but to be expected. Thanks for the report, @Calem

 

Thanks for the info, but there plain shouldn't be a correlation between their pathing and their vulnerability/invulnerability state.

For what reason should a chicken ever be invulnerable? If killed, it should just respawn somewhere on its path in a plain vulnerable state.
