    This is intentional. After you defeat the "boss wave" of a random encounter, a bounty hunter, ecology researcher, or pilgrim may appear. All of these NPCs can be attacked and killed by any enemies still lingering in the area, so it's wise to make sure they stay safe if you'd like to talk to them.
