How does the crystal lizard respawn (if not killed) work in this?

[cybermastah]

I recall when I played this game that if you missed killing a crystal lizard that you'd see it again when you returned to the region but reading up on this I found that resting at a bonfire isn't enough; if I continue playing after missing killing a crystal lizard, rest at a bonfire, and then exit and reload (basically just playing normally without specifically reloading for the purposes of killing the lizard), is it still possible to find it again?

no, if killed they dont respawn

I didn't word my post correctly I think; what I meant was is it possible to permanently miss crystal lizards if you rest at a bonfire after failing to kill one.

If you dont kill it, you come later and you do it. They dont disapear if you rest at bonfire or reload the area. But they are single spawn.

Ah, thanks!

They will respawn if you:
- Quitting out then reloading the game. I prefer this method since you can stand right next to the lizard and attack it immediately.
- Using homeward bone or coiled sword fragment to teleport to the last bonefire you interact with.
- Using bonefire to teleport to somewhere then teleport back.
The only exception are the two lizard in Lothric castle near 2 wyverns. If you kill 1 and miss 1, it won't respawn so you must kill both of them in 1 run.

Are we talking about the little crystal lizzards or the large ones (they are all one time spawn)? But if you miss the small ones they will respawn if you reload the area by save and quit (1-2 times should do the trick). Or rest at the bonfire.
Unless they fall to their death which should get you their drop (the one in the catacombs f.e.).
