UPDATE: GM Yusri announced an update to help you sort out which critter of the same name cast that cloud that is coming down to get you. Soon. TARGET the CLOUD (or whatever it is) and your next attack will automatically target the correct creature that called down that whorling death into the fight! Nice one, right? Details:

TARGET Update for Cloud-Casting Creatures
on 21 June 2022 10:27 PM
from Official GemStone IV Discord #development-announcements channelGreetings adventurers!
Are you tired of storms among your giants? Is the sand from your devils making things rough and irritating? Have you been a-void-ing creatures that cast Implosion? Or maybe you’re looking for any port in a maelstrom that’s hounded you all night?
Well, have we got the solution for you! Introducing TARGET updates! If you TARGET a hazard, you will now find yourself poised to dispatch the pesky critter that conjured it up before it dispatches you.
[TARGETing various types of clouds, webs, maelstroms, implosions, weeds, swarms, and other assorted hazards will now target the creature that cast it. This mechanic will not target players. If you find creature-created hazards that do not exhibit this behavior while their creator is present, please BUGITEM the hazard if you can safely do so or BUG with the appropriate details if not.]
— Yusri
