This may not be a bug BUT

There used to be a time that if you got to close to the Quabs they wold push you away
Now you can walk right through them

I also used to like to jump on them but, again you just go through them

Must have been a long time ago maybe ... though I just checked my offline Drizzle version, but there were no quabs atm lol,
and I didn't want to start anew because of that ... But I was lucky in MOULa, before I couldn't let the spheres turn for
whatever reason, maybe a nasty, rebellious quab or so haha, yeah, however, the quabs in MOULa aren't solid as well,
means you walk or run straight through them lol ... I'm sure our geniuses here will know exactly where this derives from ...

Quabs were probably solid in PoTS/CC. Back in that time they were objects in the level.

In MOULa (and thus Gehn) the quabs are actually avatars so that they can have a real AI. You'll note, if you compare them, that the quabs in MOULa are a bit "smarter" than the ones in CC. The old ones would always follow a specific path.

...not only smarter but way more athletics.

Often, when I chase the crabs they jump 20 times there height and go over the hill to jump in the lake instead of the pond!!!

In URU:CC, they were dumb like Branan said. They followed the same predicable path. You knew where each of them was heading to. They always end in the pond.In MOUL shards, they go whereever they want, pond or lake.

I so loved to 'lovingly chase' those quabs ... They are really smart and go where they want to ...
Sometimes I really felt they were teasing me somehow, really reacting in one way or another
to my following them lol ...
