Just was about to post about the same, but would like to add things I noticed so far regarding this issue. 

The range was always at least 20 meters or much much more and when they disappeared it was always from a position where 1/6-1/4 of it was obscured by terrain - slight slope or small rock in between us. The most peculiar thing was that almost every time this happened while I was aiming at its weak spots or straight at it and seeing it do the vanishing act straight in plain view.

There was also this one oddly behaving thumper that engaged in fight normally, but suddenly it switched to "unalerted" and just continued on its way. While I gave chase it did the vanishing trick like described above.

Current total is 2 defeated and at least 5 vanished if I remember correctly.

Edit: after posting this I encountered 2 more. First one I kept constantly right in front of me without letting it get from 10 to 30 meter from me or in higher/lower ground and it worked. Second encounter was same, but at middle of the fight it bounced straight at me while I was in air and at the same moment it went through me it vanished. So.. yeah. Those kind of things feel kinda freaky.

Same issue here.

Thumper despawned at like 5% after a 10min fight.

Maybe it was because the night had appeared ?

• Tusk Thumper charge behavior now has a timeout to prevent it from getting stuck charging indefinitely.

Yep, Same problem here folks, I think its 4th time this problem has occurred for me. Pls fix! )

Finally managed to head out into the Plains to try and fight some for myself... Only to have it suddenly jump up and completely vanish from existence. I had almost killed it as well...

[Jiritsu]

This problem is still persisting. Faced 4 thumber bulls in one go when doing solo 4th rank bounty - 2 defeated and 2 vanished the same way as I have previously mentioned.

 

Only two new things to mention are that I forgot to mention in the first post that everyone of those vanishing acts has been in a fight that took at least 4 to 5 minutes. As a second thing these last two, and if I remember correctly the others, seem to always vanish after a jump where they reposition themselves.

The last 8 times I have fought thumpers, they have disappear 6 of those times.  I was always close right before it happened, a few jumped over a small rise and blap, gone, a few I didn't see what happened, just right now had one literally just sink into the ground.

I'm just not going to engage the content until it's fixed, no point, it's super frustrating putting the time in just to have them bug out!

It seems to do this if I lose sight of it on my own. If I'm with a friend, it doesn't seem to disappear. though very annoying on my own when it jumps over some scenery and disappears forever.

The only reason I'm not still complaining about this problem, is because after killing 100+ Domas, I finally got the BP and don't have to hunt them any more.

That being said, it's still a problem, and yes, it will disappear while entirely in view.  My suspicion is that it fell through the ground to infinity.

  Had this happen many times I tell you, many times. Don't you hate it when a Tusk thumper gets Thanos snapped? 

An estimate of how many Tusk thumpers disappeared for me.

Tusk Thumpers that vanished: 5

Tusk Thumper Bull:3

Tusk Thumper Doma:2

 

  DE please fix this.

Same thing happened to me today.

I was shooting it from above while in archwing and it disappeared in front of my eyes.

Same happened to me. Except I was in a Shield Dargyn.
