Ironman notes
- 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.
- Drops blue charm, crimson charm, gold charm and green charms for Summoning pouches.
- Always drops Bones: Prayer XP as you go.
- Mostly met during a quest, so it may not be farmable afterwards.
