Ironman notes
- Counts as a Slayer task from Jacquelyn, Raptor and Vannaka (task: skeletons). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to earth spells: bring that style for faster kills.
- Always drops Bones: Prayer XP as you go.
- Mostly met during a quest, so it may not be farmable afterwards.
