Ironman notes
- Immune to poison, stuns and stat drains.
- 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.
- Drops 4 kinds of seed, which keeps farm patches stocked.
- Drops blue charm, crimson charm, gold charm and green charms for Summoning pouches.
- Always drops Big bones: Prayer XP as you go.
- 3 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.
