Apparently these dudes are the most reliable drops for Energy Crystals, so please...
you have a very small % chance to find one within the city of esthar, not on the highway or outside the city. you can only find them after you get the ragnarokon disc 3.

the only way you can always find one is this:
1. fly the ragnarok to the airstation and land there.
2. walk down a couple of screens until you get to where odine's lab is (where zell and party met him before you got on the lunatic pandora with edea)
3. from there, walk upwards towards the top of your screen. i think you should see yellow arrows guiding you.
4. next screen you should see the figure of a dark person waiting on the bridge.
5. talk to him and he will laugh at you, then attack you.
6. after defeating him, leave the screen and come back, and he will be there again. you can do this as many times as you want. mugging them gives you moon stones and they drop energy crystals upon death.

i hope this was clear enough for you, or maybe someone else can elaborate on this.
