Ironman notes

Weak to arrows (bows): 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, green charm, crimson charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
Mostly met during a quest, so it may not be farmable afterwards.
