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 crush weapons: bring that style for faster kills.
- 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.
