Ironman notes
- You need 15 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
- Counts as a Slayer task from Jacquelyn, Raptor, Vannaka, Mazchna, Chaeldar, Sumona and Laniakea (task: banshees, undead and ghosts). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to arrows (bows): bring that style for faster kills.
- Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
- A herb source: it drops 11 kinds of grimy herb, useful for Herblore without farming runs.
- Drops 24 kinds of seed, which keeps farm patches stocked.
- Drops green charm, gold charm, crimson charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
