RPG Logic

So I'm playing Titan Quest, and it's fun and Diablo-like, which is great.  But playing it right after playing Oblivion for a long time (and getting bored & bogged down in Neverwinter Nights II) has got me questioning some standard RPG stuff.

1. Why does a tomb containing 4 sarcophogi have 6 skeletons and 2 zombies?  Are the extra ones visiting the 4 who belong there?

2. Why would a giant spider be carrying bag of gold?  (Actually, I've heard a good explanation for that - based on the giant crabs in Pirates/Black Kat:  That's all that's left of the last adventurer they ate) 

3. Why do zombies carry health potions?

 

I'm sure there are more, but that's what I've been noticing the most.

I play WoW and have the same questions, plus the eternal question about body parts. When you need to collect hooves off a horse like thing, why doesn't each one you kill drop four?
