Question about lvl 30 Naga Myrmidion in Maze

[agentmith]

I normally hit up the Maze, the area next to the hidden mage town, after clearing out some of the other low level areas nearby when starting a new character. I was level 8 when I entered. This time though, there was a level 30 Naga Myrmidion a few screens away from the entrance that one-shotted me twice (the first time it was from around the corner and I never saw it, the second was to figure out what the hell happened). I had killed a few other monsters prior to finding it that were appropriately leveled, as I would expect. I've never seen something this high of level there before and I've cleared it out many times in the past.

Is this something that was introduced in the new patch, or some freak occurrence or bug in the game? Can I expect to find another one if I were to visit the Maze with subsequent characters? If so I'll just skip the Maze from now on, which I don't really want to do, but I've never gotten a character high enough of level to be able to take it out.

Its a freak occurrence where the rng rolled a creature that cannot be scaled down below level 30.
