Drift Items, also known as Vagrants, are an enemy type in Dark Souls.
Location
Drift Items appear in every area in the game. However, they are exclusive to Online Mode, and are only found in very specific areas. The evil Drift Item appears where other players have recently lost a large amount of Humanity, while good ones spawn when other players drop certain items in their own world.
Enemy Information
Evil Drift Items have crab-like pincers and a dark, cloudy ball attached to them. They will stay and attack the player with a weak melee attack. However, they also possess a deadly projectile that can sometimes kill players in one hit.
Good Drift Items look like a spherical egg with legs, and will flee from the player on sight and disappear if not damaged in time, similar to Crystal Lizards.
Both variations are relatively easy to kill, the only obstacles being the disappearance of the good Drift Items and the projectile attack of the evil ones.
