But it says "hits you," not "slashes" or "crushes" or "sodomizes," right? That would indicate ranged attacks. Anyway, yeah, most people regard them as clerics or wizards with invisible bows. Have fun!
Logs indeed say "hits you".

FWIW, it also say "hits" even when adjacent to its target:

Their delay between ranged attacks was also comparable to melee (~25 delay, based on below logs), which at the time seemed unusually quick to be a ranged attack. Admittedly, I haven't encountered many mobs that used ranged attacks (only other I can think of are centaurs in south karana), so maybe it's not that unusual.
