That's it in a nutshell.
It's not a zone of bears and wolves and maybe a couple of really
strong bears or wolfs that you might have a chance of at least running
away from.
I'm going to show my ignorance here (I've never designed a zone or
level, and my pencil-and-paper days were a decade ago) and ask why on
earth anyone would put together such a zone/dungeon/level?
If the uber-mob is generally friendly, perhaps it isn't a problem.
But why on Earth would you have a hostile uber-MOB wandering around
that can whack anyone without them even having a chance of running
away?
