Ironman notes
- Counts as a Slayer task from Vannaka (task: cockroaches). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to earth spells: bring that style for faster kills.
- Drops 23 kinds of seed, which keeps farm patches stocked.
- Drops crimson charm, gold charm, green 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.
