What are those red glowing monster supposed to be?

Question

I was driving to do some mission when suddenly a red glowing monster just spawned in front of me.

enter image description here

Are they some kind of rare? Because he was petty easy and not a Badass.

I encountered this same Bullymong and as far as I could tell there was nothing special about it other than the red glow.

I've seen some objects, like bullymong snow pile and pile of trash to glow with a similarly bright, but green glow.

This is a glitch.

P.S.: but a glitched monster definitely seems much more intriguing than a glitched pile! :)

	Breakable objects are supposed to have a noticeable (but not extreme) green glow/green gas effect to indicate that they're breakable, like how containers have a green light to show they can be opened. – Ben Brocka Oct 4 '12 at 14:17
	True, but this was definitely not that glow - my reflexes are honed by Borderlands 1 :) The glow I saw was analogous to one pictured - rich green tint covering entire model, with color "bleeding" outside some distance in screen space. – Orc JMR Oct 4 '12 at 15:03
	I saw this appear on a spider ant as I drove away from Ellie's place. Though funnily it wasn't the ant that was glowing, it was the hole he jumped out of. – Jeff Mercado Oct 5 '12 at 5:51
	Oh, I failed to mention the glow was on a destroyed pile - like with Jeff's ant hole (and OP's bullymong corpse), these were just temporary debris objects. – Orc JMR Oct 5 '12 at 6:45
