These are unfriend non-combat npcs that show up on your mini map. Do not get confused with the actual guards who patrol.
Search the quest area and throw your quest item on them - they can turn into a range of hilarious things!
Anyone remember where they picked up the quest? I don't have it any longer and can't find the mobs. I also can't delete the item from my inventory. I'd like to try picking up the quest and completing it to see if it gets rid of both but can't find the source.
You can find the Unwitting Hollowguards around High Hollows, near /way 69 40
