Ironman notes
- Counts as a Slayer task from Raptor, Vannaka, Chaeldar, Sumona, Duradel, Kuradal, Morvran and Laniakea (task: kalphite). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to water spells: bring that style for faster kills.
- Its attacks can poison you: carry antipoison or wear something that blocks poison.
- 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 gold charm, blue charm, crimson charm and green charms for Summoning pouches.
- It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
