I can be chasing down an enemy, and they'll be wounded and bleeding, and then out of no where they will turn around, become the hulk and attack about fifteen times in a row without interruption and beat me into a bloody mess.
It's totally random.
What the hell is that about?

And that's the catch. This is a roguelike, after all.

Did you get a message like "_ is enraged"?  That ups their combat skills.  Also, a lucky shot is more than enough to make you pass out (especially if you have low Willpower), which gives them free hits on your head until you wake up.

That could be it. I should pay more attention to the logs.

Yeah, chances are they either knocked you unconscious or did something else to disable you.

Your announcements log is saved to a text file in the same folder as your game, so you could look through that and see if anything screwy happened.

Usually when they're wounded, when they notice you're just getting closer and closer and there is no point in trying to run from you, they just give up. Then they get back on you with the force of despair.
You've probably slaughtered many many wounded foes who stopped running away without even realising it. One only notices the ones who kill him.

This.  This is why I always try to sweep up the wounded if they aren't disarmed.
