Ironman notes
- Counts as a Slayer task from Jacquelyn (task: goblins). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to water spells: bring that style for faster kills.
- Immune to poison.
- Drops gold charm, crimson charm, green charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
- Always drops Bones: Prayer XP as you go.
- Mostly met during a quest, so it may not be farmable afterwards.
