Screenshot of me standing below bird (Just glad I'm not a Lalafel, those poor guys wouldn't stand a chance! Note, this is zoomed out as far as I can, with the camera angle as steep as it goes and the bird is only barely in view:

This did not happen until the patch where they changed mob sizes. I experimented with it last night 3/25 10:00PM PDT, there was one time I couldn't reach it as Pugilist, but the Lancer could hit it just fine. I couldn't taunt it or throw weapon at it, but Lancer and Conjurer could attack it. Sometimes it would be out of range for both Pugilist and Lancer, but Conjurer could still use "Fire" and other elemental spells to kill it. In all cases a Lalafel Conjurer could attack it.

Before the giant mob patch they were lower to the ground and did not fly away when engaged. Please make them like they were.
