Ironman notes
- Counts as a Slayer task from Sumona and Duradel (task: scabarites). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to air 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.
- Mostly met during a quest, so it may not be farmable afterwards.
