Game Mechanics: Deepwater goblins being able to attack more than melee range

They come equip with bows. Same as goblins in oasis.

Is this definitely a bow? Monsters can double attack and kick/bash with a bow from ~75% max spell cast range?

It makes the Tainted Aquagoblin an absolute pain in the ass to farm because they can melee you from an absurd distance pushing you all around in the water.

This comes off very bugged to me, it looks more like the game is saying "Hey this guy has a weapon, it says it's range is like 100, so that's what he attacks at." Not to mention, they don't drop bows, is this a unique case in which a monster has a weapon it does not drop?

Having a ranged weapon shouldn't just mean they get to auto-attack at that distance, it should be separate from their auto-attack just like all of their other abilities.
