NPC Spawn Issue: An odd mole in Kurns

I've heard of this happening before, and I don't think its correct. If a mob is engaged in combat, he/she shouldn't ever despawn, right?

mobs can definitely despawn while engaged in combat. the undead gnolls in EK for example.

You are correct, after doing a little research on alla, old posts indicate he can despawn while engaged. My mistake

When I was killing this guy he poofed before I could finish him off. Do you have to kill him within a certain time limit? The first time I soloed him and he poofed, the second time A level 60 Enchanter buffed me up and he still poofed. That was at level 26 or around there, should I bring a group with me to kill it faster?

if there are classic posts on alla complaining about him despawning while engaged, what more is there to discuss?
