A Stranger sometimes appears when you have a diamond of Azzanadra in your inventory. He wields a poisoned Dragon dagger and follows the closest person to him. He is non-attackable to the players not doing Desert Treasure.

He has been known in some cases to stalk random players who aren't holding a diamond, and even attack them, causing a real problem because they can't fight back.

Recent reports have also revealed that the stranger has appeared after Desert Treasure was completed.

Avoiding "stranger danger"
The moment at which the stranger appears is random, as long as you are carrying the gems. To minimize the risk of the stranger... Also, always try to keep all your diamonds on your bank, so he doesn't appear for you. However he can appear right after you get one of the diamonds, which can be annoying since you will probably have taken damage from the fights.
 * Always have a weapon at hand(if you choose to fight him).
 * ALWAYS have anti-poison ready to drink, in case he poisons you (which he probably will).
 * Prayer is recommended.
 * If you don't want to fight, make sure you don't turn back. It also helps to have auto-retaliate off, so that you don't turn back, thus risking becoming hit and poisoned.
