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.
- Immune to stuns.
- Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
- Drops crimson charm, blue charm, green charm and gold charms for Summoning pouches.
- 7 of its drops come noted, so they don't fill your inventory.
- It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
