Crystal Lizard

Crystal Lizards are enemies in Dark Souls, they can be found in numerous areas throughout the game.

Information
Crystal Lizards are unique to Dark Souls in that they do not attack. Instead, they run away once the player approaches them and will soon dissapear unless they are attacked. Once killed they will not respawn. They are a primary source of Twinkling Titanite until later in the game.

Strategy
They emit a "sparkling sound" which will indicate that they are close by.

Attacking them will temporarily cancel their vanishing animation.

Equipping the Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring and the Ring of Fog can allow the player to get closer before they begin to run away. This is particularly useful in areas where they will disappear before the player can see them. Similarly, the Sorcery Spells Hush and Hidden Body can be used.

Using a powerful ranged attack, such as a bow, can be useful in certain areas where approaching them is too difficult.

Reloading the game where they spawn can cause them to appear right next to the player.
