No, they don't walk around freely. They only exist in Invasions. The last one I went in, there were about 5 or six that appeared, 4 in Round 2, the remaining ones in Round 6. Jolly came by, we defeated him, and it was all over for the Undead. They must not appear often.

I think what happens is that they send in the first line of the brigade, like the witchdoctors and pirates in the first brigade, and then once we've been weakened a bit, send in two or three powder keg runners.
Be warned mates, I've seen a level fifty get knocked over because he was standing too close to one. The whole "don't use a cutlass or a dagger" is probably the best advice to give with these.
Not to mention, they take out entire barricades with just one. I think a good strategy is to lure them away from the barricades before blowing them up, because they will follow you.

I'm their master! Here I am taking a picture with Steve.
Seriously, though, I haven't ever seen them follow a pirate that was fighting them. That's why I prefer a doll when fighting them.
