NPC Spawn Issue: Stronghorn & Tantor

[the_toecutter]

I did find a post from Luclin era Allakhazam that supports everything being on the same table:

CoV critters are mammal placeholders. Eventuallly everything in the zone goes to reptile if cragwyrms, drakes, and wyverns arent thinned out. A guide suggested I do a feedback report, to separate the spawns between mammals and CoV critters. Perhaps if a lot of us did, the zone would be huntable allthe time.

So maybe it's working as intended? It's possible the live server usage of the zone dynamic was different than on p99
