Were you fighting it on the Ocean or on land? The reason I ask is because I have always fought it on land, and it has never tried to run away; however, I have seen a lot of compliments lately that it keeps escaping from players, so I wondered if they were fighting it on the ocean instead. Maybe that is the difference?

EDIT: After reading the article in more detail, once reduced to 10% health, it will retreat towards the den. If it gets too far away, it despawns".

I always go knocking on its doorstep when I want to fight it, so I'd recommend that. You can easily fight it on land near its den and it won't run away.
