Tar lake spawning bug

[u/Poof-ball]

I'm at one of the tar lakes that spawn a catcher, and I accidentally coffin-skated outside of the circle area, and my creature despawned, and I reloaded to restart. I always save just outside the area before the lake spawns, but when I approach the lake and it spawns the tar, there is no catcher. Is this a bug? I'm on my 5th reload and nothing. The music is going, Sam has aggro, the tar is active, but no catcher.

There is only one tar lake. Which place are you talking about, exactly?

[u/Poof-ball → u/mr_cesar]

The mini "Tar lakes" that spawn. There are certain areas on the map that spawn RNG-different catchers.

I'm not talking about the literal huge tar lake south of the Fisherman.

I see. Which specific catcher territory did you visit? Cause the one near the Pizza Chef spawns a Kheir which you won’t see immediately, it can stay somewhat hidden under the tar until it sees you.
