It's happening when you reenter the game. The 2 that spawned prior to the save remain where they are and 2 new ones spawn. All previous ones will remain. This also seems to happen when entering/exiting a cave, since the game identifies that as another world and has to reload the surface when you come back up.

This also causes crawlers to multiply, though not to the same degree as the ice hounds. First time I went insane after the cave update and I had to face off against around 10 crawlers at once. Previously I had to fight an even larger horde of ice hounds. Fortunately with the hounds a swamp was nearby.
