Although I've seen some oddities myself in this vein. I had an army of illithids paralyze a dragon in the first round of combat, destroy all of his troops, run up to finish him off by hand - and then immediately flee in terror.

Dragons must be scary or something. I know illithid don't have especially good morale. Had to bring in some mindless units to finish the job. Really, killing gods is often about finding the strategy they're vulnerable to!
