How does a creature without an attack "try to do damage"?
No they literally try to do damage. So it's the mods all along.
The creature is just dumb and runs back up to you in a panic. It's that simple.
A specific mod that added a ton of wildlife was at fault. For some reason all of the added animals that I came across had a "fight then flight" response in which they noticed me (red exclamation mark) and tried to move towards me. If I ran away they would follow me until they reached my position, attack and then run away until they would home in on me again. At least if they were still in aggro range.
Even animals with no attacks did that. The hares from that mod would just jump at me without doing any damage. That's what I explained as trying to do damage. Poor litle ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ had to do SOMETHING after all.
Mod deleted, no more odd behaviour, still playing the game modded because I won't touch vanilla, everyone is happy. Except the rabbits. They're dead. forever.
