Yea i don’t think its direct verse related although i use verse to spawn them ect all that functions as intended im just using verse to Teleport them back as a bug fix and print location ect it helps for bug identification for sure 
I haven’t tested but i would assume the behavior would be the same on direct device bindings as all I’m doing is spawning the chicken and running away. I also haven’t tried other animals but again one would assume it’d be the same albeit they could be different npc behavior classes setup by Epic so they could also act differently
