Serpent AI
So I have been traveling with ship when as serpent attacked me... I thought I would bring it to low health than drag it back on shore with harpoon..... i screwed up and serpent fled before I could get close to shore.
So I turned the ship around and aggroed the serpent and harpooned it... ran out of stamina but the serpent kept following me... in fact it kept following me to the edge of the shroe on its own and kept waiting instead of trying to flee into deeper waters.... which was awfully nice of him because taht allowed me to regen my stamina and drag it onto shore.
My question is: what are the triggers for the serpent to flee? Only low health? Or was it supposed to flee from the shore but I just broke the Ai by letting it flee once?

hmm right now , only when its a night spawned serpent and a new day its starting , before it was when hp gets low but was changed not so much ago , you now have to keep the agro on the serpent

But when I went after it and aggroed again it didnt flee at all. I think i killed it shortly before the new day so i didn't get to check that part.
But an even earlier serpent that I fought before getting the harpoon also followed me near the shore where it started fighting greydwarves while compeletely refusing to flee.
So in other words, serpents always seem to follow you to to the shore so you only need to harpoon them once you get there.

The serpent ai behaviour was changed sometime back so that it is LESS LIKELY to flee. It can flee but won't always.
