OK, its a bug. We will wait for a fix. I just thought it would be fun standing just inside the thicket in peccary and having my warhorn summon peccary, hunters, trecks and caracals into the room. Or stand on the other side and have peccary come out that.

I've used the warhorn multiple times in adult armadillos and elders never show up there. I've ran into a few of them in juvies, though. Should be fixed.

I pretty much always hunt in this room, for no particular reason:

[Hidisharon Desert, Sandy Trail]
Ripples of sand, curled not unlike discarded snake skins, fill the horizon to the south, sight beyond blurred by the shimmering air rising from the desert, night or day. Somewhere beyond the dunes are the peaks of the Undogoz mountain chain, their presence masked by distance and the waves of dancing heat so perfectly that one might wonder if the mountains are there at all.
Obvious paths: northeast, southeast.

In addition to that I've been attacked in the room to the southeast:

[Hidisharon Desert, Dune's Edge]
Arched as though bitten by some giant mouth, a crescent-shaped depression dips into the dunes below, swallowing stones, rocks, and anything else too close to the flowing sand along its edge. When the wind blows, the wash of debris down its gullet actively hisses as it slides, falling silent again as the breezes cease. A weathered sign leans near the edge of the pit, only the thickness of its post keeping it stable.
Obvious paths: northwest, down.

I've also seen them wandering all over the ditch area via normal critter wandering mechanics.

I'm not actually sure if warhorn use in these particular rooms draws them out of their area or not - it could be someone else pulling them into the juvie area, then normal critter wandering or my own warhorn use that brings them into the ditch. I assume there has to be someone in the elder area to cause them to spawn either way.

That's the best I can do with the info I have, hope it helps.
