I'm getting really sick of this nonsense. It makes zero sense. Enemies that are much larger, heaver, and stronger can't come close to this. It feels cheap and sadistic. Please knock it off.

Anyone notice how fast a lot of mob characters move in different dungeons?
Seems like someone took away player movement speed and gave it to the mobs.
My 2¢
I have recently bumped into them. They make about same amount of sense as the tiny scarecrows becoming hulks with knock downs right after you kill the spider witch. We never did get a decent reason why they made the scarecrows so pathetic in Barovia. The scarecrows in Loneywood still are respectable. The audio roar and slow attack of the mini scarecrows allows me ample time to walk away from these attacks. I waited on this attack for the screenshot.
These spiders are easy to kill but they don't make sense with their pounce being a blast, knock-up and knock-back. I know about them and can put them down before this attack happens. So what is the real point of making these things so predictable? I am sure any of the Foundry authors can tell you. They have a limited library of attacks, someone at Cryptic got this "idea", to make the spiders and scarecrows different. They replaced the scarecrows with hulks (most pathetic) and skinned them as tiny scarecrows. I am not impressed.
To any developer who stumbles across this thread; We are not complaining these are too hard, they just don't make sense. Magic can only be used as a scapegoat so often before the user understands what you are really doing. Being a Foundry author gave me insight into what limitations you have to work with in this game. You have 50 different flavors of watermelons but only a few scripts on how enemies attack. Time to get creative and stop falling back on "Hulk Smash" as your primary attacks.
