I was attacked by a raptor in Ceizak Battlegrounds, tonight. I used flee to run away, but to my dismay the monster kept up with me well enough to remain in attack range. It did not lag behind, and catch up later. It stayed with me the full minute I was under the effect of flee.

Some mobs, like raptors, tigers, phaubo, etc., move at faster than normal movement speed, and are impossible to outrun.

yeah.. longclaws move pretty fast as is when they are idle. Just watch them for a bit. Then when they get aggressive towards a player, their speed ramps up even more. Wouldn't put it past SE to make them near or at Flee speed when giving chase.

Thank you. I am aware that some monsters have movement enhancements. However, to date I have yet to find one that has movement +100%. That is the issue.

Tonberry Lieje in Aby-Konschtat moves at flee speed (or close to it).
