Last night I (Lvl 19) went to the Oasis of Nekhet with my T2 Stygian fighter (Lvl 10). I kill off some of the regular Shalebacks with ease, then the Shaleback King came and brought with him 2 blue eyed brutes, I managed to take the 2 down to about 25% health and the King to about 80% health. I see my fighter standing there, shield up, but about 10 metres away, he had not even taken a swing at any of the beasts…then the three 1 skull beasts start taking turns at me, broke my shield, and then proceeded to tear me apart. When I first went on the little island, there was only the King, not sure where the other two bosses came from. 
Your thrall had the shield up to hide the popcorn he was eating as he watched you get obliterated.

, that was a good one:+1:. Sometimes this happens my friend @The_gamer00600 and ofcurse it was happening before the update too. So if you see something like this again command your thrall to attack. Before the update you had to leave the fight and kick your thrall to wake up 
. No you have commands, use them

I was trying to get my thrall to attack, the comand doesn’t work if you can’t stay on your feet…too many area attacks, one after another. Kinda wish I had a video of it. Priceless.

I always take out the big boss croc at the end of the river but first I take out the 2 smaller crocs that are on the bank, today im fighting the boss and all of a sudden a 1 skull croc joins the fight…I was like where the heck did you come from? I never seen this before! There might be a new mechanic introduced maybe.
That sounds like a reasonable explanation.
No, that mechanic was introduced several months ago. That is an elite spawn which can happen with any normal spawn (just rare). They are usually recognized by having blue glowing eyes and slightly larger than their normal counterparts. They give better loot (including demon blood when harvested by a pick). They also hit harder than normals, but not as hard as world bosses.

I use to use a pick but have found that a hatchet gives higher quantity and quality loot when harvesting blue eyed beasts.

Yup I have encountered alot of those random 1 skull bosses around but there are only 2 other crocs in this area and I killed them less then a minute before, it hasnt happened since so it might have been a glitch.
The nerf inserted a dice roll. Each thrall level adds +1 to initiative, sounds like your thrall rolled really low initiative, then kept missing his DC on attack rolls.
Nope, its not a glitch. Here’s a few links to what I was talking about:
Any of the places the normal beasts spawns, you have a chance to get the relevant demonic mini-boss.
