Ironman notes
- Counts as a Slayer task from Jacquelyn, Raptor and Vannaka (task: skeletons). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to earth spells: 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.
- Always drops Big bones: Prayer XP as you go.
- It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
