I see this a lot now. They die, fall over, and them skid along the ground towards the catapult. As if they were trying to get back with their dying breath and managed to do it after death!

They don;t all do it. Or perhaps I should say they don't do it all the time. I try to pull 1-2 at a time and kite them into a clear area. So perhaps distance from where they were pulled is a factor? Just some guesses that may or may not be helpful.

It causes the corpses to go back into an area with other mobs which is annoying.

 

@Echondas I literally loled.
