On a side note I can also recall that some/all beetles in the karana's were so slow you could kite them without sow (on a druid in 1999). So absolutely different enemies were different speeds.
Yeah, beetles/scarabs were slow, it might've been game-wide. I tried out a wizard for a while in 1999 or 2000 and the easiest solo XP at L7-10 was the scarabs in EC because you didn't have to root and you didn't need a movement buff, just nuke, run to range (I did not know about strafe running at the time, this was just unmodified PC run speed), nuke again, rinse/repeat until the mob was dead, zone if you run out of mana first. The scarabs never killed you, just the occasional cat/bear that would agro if you were inattentive. Scarabs in BBM were the same but there were more roamers that would eat you there so it was riskier.
