That shocked me because:

1) The Huge Gator doesn't usually attack unless you attack it.

2) The Crab wasn't even there.

3) I was like a mile away from the Grenadier!

Has this happened before to anybody?

Both the huge gator, and giant crab spawns (Tortuga/Mistymire)are triggered by a pirates proximity. If another pirate triggered it, and you walk by, you'll see it there yet it may not bother you until you attack it. The crab often is not there until you walk up and then it spawns, it will attack anything that gets close. The grenadiers do seem to be a bit more aggressive.
