When using the dragon staff to target mobs with the Royal Red dragon, after the mob is dead the dragon continues to spit flames indefinitely.the only way to stop this seems to be to make it sit or ride it. if the dragon is in follow mode while this is happening it annihilates the player, resulting in a kind of comical death message, "Thwackjack burnt to a crisp whilst fighting Thwackjack." So far I havent seen this issue with any other creatures.
