Game Mechanics: Cracktusk, kos or not?

[mmiles8]

but he instantly agroed me once when he spawned when I was sitting on the hill he spawns on. So he was indeed KoS, at least then.

I had a bit of a suspicion when he posted that he was a druid, that cracktusk was KOS, and just wasn't attacking him because he was a druid. As a druid myself:

Well there ya go, I know all other elephants arent KoS but Cracktusk is, makes sense that he didnt KoS a druid though.

So Cracktusk shouldn't be kos to druids?

He is set to kos everyone next patch. Let me know whats up with this. I assumed he should aggro everyone.

Well hes an animal, so it might just be how it was coded to not attack druids, per other kos animals that dont, but given the nature and name of the mob Id think he should be KoS to all. Ill try and do some research but the links posted above look to be as much as well find.

I dusted off my druid and played him a bit this past week and weekend. I took him to South Karana because that's a great place to re-familiarize yourself with druid techniques. Anyway, although I've played EQ since late spring, 1999 - and spent thousands of hours in SK - I had never seen Cracktusk, the SK bull elephant - until Saturday. But there he was on track. I chased him down and found that the stories are true: he moves fast and has a huge aggro radius.

Leads me to believe he is KoS to all, "having a huge agro radius" you wouldnt know unless you are kos
