I checked the wiki just to see if this was a thing that usually happens with body piles (because it sure af didn't happen in my last playthrough either) and yeah according to the wiki in crypts it does. I just got super boned because it was both a 2-star and 1-star ranged that spawned in.

Yep. About 1 in 10 crypts have this issue.

You just got bent over by RNG to get bowmen and again for them to have stars.

Sometimes if you use a shield a critical parry you can stagger them out of the piles. the hard part is getting the timing if you cannot see them draw their bow.
