Finally!!! My first encounter...

... With a Vagrant!!!
It was in New Londo by Beatrice's sign. I was just killing the DW in the corner when as soon as I finish bstabbing him I feel damage and saw some sort of tiny soul arrows being shot at me.
I turn and see it... A Red vagrant. It does look like a crab, like a redwhite one.
So anyway, it wasn't hard to kill him.
The bad thing is that it didn't happen on my world though as I was helping as a white phantom.
It gave me 2K + souls but I can't tell if it dropped something else.
It is really strange, because the first and only time that I've seen red phantoms I was cooping too and it was in New Londo as well... Strange fact... Don't you think?

Because you must be human to see a vagrant and you must be invadable as well

Hmm I have seen them twice but both times I was forest invading and therefore unable to interact with it. that time it was just a round ...thing xD
I have heard they drop large chunks of humanity though.

I didn't know for fact that you had to be human and able for invasion in order to get vagrants in your world, which makes it even stranger. My first playthrough I kept myself hollow almost all the time, but now I am always human, a d still get invaded like crazy sometimes but never been gravelorded with Red Phantoms ot seen a Vagrant in my world.

Yeahhh!!! I heard that too. The worst part is that I was beckoning the host but he never came. He or she instead went through the fog gate.
Other detail is that it was some sort of NG + . I was getting more less 1k souls per ghost.

I saw some kind of vagrant today first time in my life at PW. Unfortunately it disappeared before I managed to do anything to it lol.

Wait... Can they disappear? I didn't know that...

Saw my first name a few days ago, Demon Ruins, dropped a Twin Humanity, color me disappointed.

you dont have to be human to see them, and they do disappear after a while (at least some do).
the bad ones almost always drop a humanity or a twin, and ive never heard of them dropping more than one. I had one drop an alluring skull recently though.
