You have to encounter this enemy and not just auto-win.

I wasn't paying attention to the picture color/text and was stumped why this wasn't popping in Dusty Dunes on green worms. Got it now.

Do they appear in the south or north of the Scaraba Desert?

And how do I not auto win?...

Turn away from him when you touch him

this is the worst pun I've ever heard lol

For those worried about getting a green swirl (which will always result in an auto win) just run up to the enemy from behind then immediately press the opposite direction on the d-pad to get a grey swirl and no auto-win.

The location you want to be looking for these is up in the northwest corner by the small oasis

Northern Scaraba, not Southern, in answer to the above question.
As for techniques for engaging him, if you're having trouble with the turning away at the last second trick (I couldn't quite get the knack of it), instead try chasing him towards other enemies. Engage another enemy when he's on screen, win, and during that brief moment when you're invulnerable and enemies don't react to you, position yourself so that he'll walk right into you. That's what worked for me.

They aren't that rare just turn around to fight them. I would recommend not farming them as you really don't need too.

I never actually seen one of these until now.

Started looking for him and he was literally my first encounter near the top. Turning around when you activate the battle worked. Got him AGAIN after coming back to the desert. Twice in a row. So not very rare?

Awesome to all of you who let me know how to save the green "auto-win"!
