Fleeing is a mechanic that causes enemies to attempt to run to a random point somewhere away from the player until they reach a certain point, are interrupted, or are unable to reach their selected point and give up. If a fleeing enemy becomes stunned, their fleeing behaviour will be interrupted. There is no fixed duration for fleeing.[1]
Magic monsters have a 50% chance to avoid fleeing for any reason, and rare and unique monsters are immune to fleeing (while they are immune, they still can be affected by it).
Some monsters naturally flee when they are burning. This includes Blood Apes, Humanoids, and Sea Witches.
