After speaking to a couple more people about it, I've gone ahead and removed the Bugs section and added it to the Trivia section:
 * As of Dark Arisen, it seems that Drakes found roaming the overworld have a chance to flee from the Arisen if the situation grows dire; much like monsters found in another Capcom series, Monster Hunter.  (Verify)

I haven't played Monster Hunter, however from what I've gathered it's a common occurrence in Monster Hunter to have monsters flee from the player. I can definitely see Capcom adding something like that into the game.

That or, as you've stated Calli, Capcom goofed with the Brine and just said F-it.
