Ironman notes

You need 115 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
Counts as a Slayer task from Sumona, Kuradal, Morvran and Laniakea (task: soul devourers). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
Weak to slash weapons: bring that style for faster kills.
Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
Drops crimson charm, blue charm, gold charm and green charms for Summoning pouches.
9 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.
