Ironman notes
- Counts as a Slayer task from Kuradal, Morvran and Laniakea (task: nihil). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to Melee: bring that style for faster kills.
- Immune to stuns.
- Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
- 5 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.
