    Its been a while since I have seen one. Saw my first red evil vagrant tonight. If you don't know what they are you can read about them here. The only one I have never encountered is the red good vagrant. And I have only ever encountered the other three once a peace. And those were all in different versions of the game.

    Here are what they look like:

    Evil Vagrant
    Red Evil Vagrant
    Good Vagrant (drift item)

    I hope they have more odd ball stuff like this in DSII. But hopefully they are more powerful enemies that give better loot. They are not very powerful, and are some what rare. Or at least they used to be. They seem to appear more in the Prepare to Die edition.

    Twice, both red. One got away, the other didn't. Don't know if they were good or evil.

    @soldierg654342: If it ran from you, and didn't try to attack, it was a good. The evil ones will be aggressive. The good run like a crystal lizard.

    I saw one of those really early on, I died before I could figure out what it was though. I'm not sure what variety it was.

    Where's the option for all of them? Because I have. They're interesting to look at it but in truth they don't do or offer a lot when you kill 'em.

    I think I might've seen two of the variants. They're a nice little curio, would be cooler if they had a little more meaning behind them though.

    I never saw one and didn't even learn about them until about a year after the game came out.

    I've seen 3-4 in 550 hours of game time spread across 4 characters. The best sighting was during an invasion in the Kiln because I was able to look at it closely without worrying about the aggro. I believe I took some pictures of it.

    I've encountered one in my 300 hours. It was in Undead Burg, down by the thieves and dogs. They killed me before I could get a good look at it but it did do an attack and it was red, so I suppose it's a red evil vagrant.

    I've seen tons of the little buggers, been killed only once when an evil one spawned in the Undead Parish behind the tower knight. Didn't see it coming.

    Yeah, I completely forgot about it. It was weird at the time. In the church under the bell gargoyles near the altar. It scared the shit out of me since I hadn't been to the Blacksmith's bonfire yet and had never seen one before: which is usually when you die in Dark Souls. It went down pretty easily. I seem to recall it didn't drop anything special.

    I was wondering what the hell that thing was!. I was on the rafters in Anor Londo when I saw what looked like a Black Phantom standing on the ledge under the Gwynevere statue. I couldn't really make it out too well from that distance, but I thought it appeared rather crab-like and unlike anything I was familiar with in the game. Once I got a little closer it pulled aggro and walked right off the ledge to its death before I could figure out what the hell happened.

    Had no idea these were a thing.

    EDIT: After reading about them, I realized that I actually have heard of these things. I remember around launch hearing about the items you drop being moved on to other online players. I guess they were so rare that I just assumed they were never actually implemented and I forgot about them. This is the sort of weird shit @patrickklepek would really appreciate about this game.

    Weird, I actually just saw one about 20 minutes ago. It was red and it was on top of the tower in undead burg with the one crossbow sniper. It freaked me out, so I attacked it before I could get a good look at it. The weirdest thing though is the wiki page says it's an online only thing, and I definitely was not online. I had unplugged my ethernet before playing because I wasn't in the mood for being invaded.

    Didn't know what it was until just now but yes. I saw one on the terrace running up to the Dragon Bow archers in Anor Londo. I didn't have time to do anything about it. I thought maybe it was a super rare form of the crystal lizards or some weird thing.

    It was weird. Only seen it once. No idea evil or good or any of that so I cant answer your poll.

    I've played through the game at least four times, 200+ hours, have all the achievements, and only just saw one recently in New Londo Ruins. I was sure I was losing my mind because I'd never seen one before. I still don't understand what the heck it is or why it showed up.

    I saw one at the kiln during New Game Plus and straight up murdered it before it did anything. I don't remember it dropping anything remarkable.

    I have never seen one in probably 200+ hours of total played time, so it was funny to me when Jeff Green encountered one on his stream and he didn't even take notice.

    Knew of them, haven't yet encountered one in well over 100 hours of gameplay time. Thusly, I went with the 'Praise the Sun' choice on the poll, because, well, you know... PRAISE THE SUN!! \[+]/

    JUST PRAISE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

    yes those things drop 20 humanity if you kill them by knocking them off a large height which results in their death becouse of FALL DAMAGE (NOT falling into the dead zone)

    the only way to collect the 20 humanity is by ponching yourself in the face as hard as u can while pressing A and moving the analog stick in circles just like mario part 64

    Yeah, I know of them. Never encountered one though. Having said that, they spawn in specific locations and I potentially walk by maybe two of those locations regularly.

    Yeah, once! Think it was a red evil one. It appeared in the worst possible place, namely on the bridge with the archers in Anor Londo. Swung my axe, hit it and it fell down into the chasm. Then I got hit by one of the Dragonslayer arrows and plunged to my death too. :(

    I've seen a few of them, I think one was in the forest, another was in Duke's Archives, and another on the path leading up to everyone's favorite archer duo. I died by an invader, I think, by the archer duo one. Or I died because I wasn't expecting it to be there....

    Only two. They were the same type. I'd probably have seen more if I had kept playing the PS3 version.
