Ironman notes
- Counts as a Slayer task from Vannaka (task: hill giants). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to air 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.
- Drops 9 kinds of seed, which keeps farm patches stocked.
- Drops gold charm, crimson charm, green charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
- 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.
