Thorny Dragon spazzing out

My girlfriend and I play on a dedicated unofficial Ragnarok server, last night she mentioned that her Thorny Dragon was acting weird so I glanced over at her screen.

Her Thorny Dragon was not on wander, and was set to passive, but was running around on her little island home as if it was chasing something down (but nothing was there). I had her whistle it to follow and it complied until it reached her, then ran off a bit, then returned. When she had it stop following, it resumed running around like a crazy animal, running approximately 50ft then changing directions.

Popped on for a bit this morning and saw her Thorny Dragon darting across her island once more. I hopped on it and tried parking it only to have it run off again the moment I dismounted.

Doing a quick search, it seems to have happened to others in the past with random dinos but I couldn't find any sort of fix for this. Has anyone else heard of this or had it happen?

Some dinos spawn with glitches. This is just another abomination.

This would be a latent glitch, she's had the Thorny Dragon for 4 days and it just started acting up yesterday. Still, weirder things have happened!

She may have accidentally set a way point for it to go to but it can't reach it.

Hmm, It could be? If the 'go here' command doesn't get overwritten by another command and it persists I could always try issuing it to a nearby location.

Thanks for the suggestion, its definitely worth investigating!

I've seen weird behavior from a theri and a wyvern too

wyvern wandered around on and off the ground without flapping its wings
