Is this a thing now, or am I just unlucky?

They're a new addition to the game but not specifically tied to Yagluth. They probably just spawn nearby.

Yeah.. there were indeed a few tar pits in the vicinity. I thought they were far enough, but apparently not.
I should've built a few workbenches around the area.
It's not easy to solo Yagluth, when you also have to deal with growths and deathsquitos... and then it turns night and two-star fulings come to join the party.

The fight took me 4 days. My preparation was not good, I ran out of fire resistance potions and lost acces to my portal so I had to improvise a lot.
But as frustrating as it was at first, when I came close to finishing him I was filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Really! :-)
