So I've got a quick question, I've seen some creatures in Dark Souls that don't seem to be enemies outright but they tend to random appear and be around. My first play through it was after I got the Black Eye Orb from the fallen Flamekeeper and was running through Upper Undead Burg again when suddenly I heard scuttling and saw there was this crawling red eye orb...thing. Then more recently in Crystal Cave after falling off and returning to the invisa-crystal while trying to get to the Blue Titanite Slab there was another version of the same thing though it was more like an orb with crystals growing on it that wasn't there before. I didn't know what to do so I shot it off the side using a bow and got 100 souls for it and it made a sound like I had attacked an NPC. I should of probably screenshot it before hand but I wasn't really sure what to do. Any idea if this is some sort of npc or just randomly appearing creature?
