Ironman notes
- You need 10 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
- Counts as a Slayer task from Mazchna, Chaeldar and Sumona (task: cave crawlers). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to slash weapons: bring that style for faster kills.
- Its attacks can poison you: carry antipoison or wear something that blocks poison.
- A herb source: it drops 11 kinds of grimy herb, useful for Herblore without farming runs.
- Drops 8 kinds of seed, which keeps farm patches stocked.
- Drops gold charm, green charm, crimson charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
- It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
