I was killing time, messing around with griffons on the snake dance side of rankor... In this one spot I knew there would be a couple of azure shadows popping up, so I was trying to move over the terrain in a way to trigger them one at a time. Two of them popped up right next to each other. I circled back, casted a preparation in anticipation of a fight, but...
they tee'd off on each other.
It was weird. I checked several times to see if they were fighting some other mob, but they were the only 2 things around. They killed each other. I guess it's possible they were positionally next to each other from different spawns, but I missed what started it.
Saw something odd last night...

It happens sometimes they just dont like eachother just like some smites they unleash a civil war from time to time...
Phaern Majes
Which angers me to no end when that civil war happens

Some mobs just dont like each other.
I feel particularly bad for plant types...everyone seems to pick on them.

The Azures and the Griffons will face off in Snake Dance on their own, but if you try to lure the mobs together, they don't seem to aggro one another. But seeing two Azures go head to head is indeed a bit strange.

Anyone remember when groups fighting like this would drop items for an easy pick-up.

it's probably in their AI to aggro the first thing they see. It just so happens that, *usually*, the first thing they see is you (normal), but occasionally, they see each *other* first.
Sometimes you'll see tengu kicking ettins' arses up in northern kryta, as well. (the tengu win in short order.)
personally i love seeing mobs fight each other, except when i'm not able to get the last hit in for the drops.

I was once in FoW and someone noticed two mobs start attacking each other. We settled in to watch. A few seconds later another mob pops up right in front of us and almost kills us all (back in the day when Europe never ever got favour). Good times.

Mark of pain and snarling driftwoods come to mind.

Another location that comes to mind is in Prophet's Path. Northwest of Augury, there's a ton of Minotaurs and some of them in certain spots attack each other. It used to get annoying back when I farmed that area, using SoJ didn't work too well when they were busy attacking each other... 
Our guild named them the "retarded minotaurs."

one of the greatest pleasure in this game is watching enemies pooning each other to the death.

Quoting yourself because nobody responded to your post is sad.

I remember running outside of Dunes only to have a stupid sand worm trigger on me and proceed to follow me halfway across the map while I was sprinting >_<
Anyway, I ran through a group of sand elementals as it popped up and needless to say, they got pissed at each other. The elementals proceeded to whail upon the sand worm as it attempted to attack them while blinded. Oh my, talk about good times.

Yah, I've notice that some mobs of the same type attack each other before you even engage them...I usually cheer them on when that happens unless they happen to be my farming source. Different mobs' attacking each other is quite common; I love it when the Avicara beat up other annoying mobs for me while I'm running through Southern Shiverpeaks.
Having just made a lowbie character, I know for certain that the Grawls in the latter part of Ascalon often fight with each other, but that might be because the Shamans just don't like the Heretics (or that ANet didn't code their behavior properly). The Stone Elementals from the 2nd part of the Elementalist quest in Pockman Flats fight with each other, too.

I like to watch the trolls fight the avicara outside Drok's.. It's amusing.. then you'll see the same group of avicara and they'll meet more trolls and they won't fight them. Weird.

The desert is an area very popular for monster death matches, I might just go and start a buisness there and call it Unreal Tournament... err I mean... err.
I had a lot of fun watching two sand wurms kill one another... now had they killed each other by simply going in and out of the ground in an endless damaging motion I'd have laughed out of my chair.

Now to think of it if you go to THK and let somebody light both torches and make the mursaat bowsmen comein and you stand atop the tower where the king is those groups actually defend you xD (they killed almost every mursaat mantle and ofcourse stone summit)

If you go to talus chute, you'll occasionally see a small war between avicare and trolls.
I sometimes try to help the trolls by taking out the ardents or wise but those things are nasty...
