Chaos druid

Chaos druids are druids that have dedicated their life to the worship of both Guthix and Zamorak, unlike most druids that dedicate themselves to the worship of Guthix only. A confusing oddity, however, is that Chaos Druids in the Yanille Agility dungeon appear to be around a symbol of Zaros. They are commonly used as a training monster due to their high drop rate of grimy herbs. They use a magical attack which has the same animation as Snare, however the player can still move after being hit with the spell and has the attack draining effects of Confuse but it will only drain your attack by 3. (due to the update of 3 March 2010) It will also stop you from attacking, but you can continue to attack if you click on the Chaos Druid once again or just wait for the effect to go away(usually takes 3 seconds). (If you level any skill up by hitting as the spell is cast, you will continue attacking and only suffer the lowered attack stat) (This will require having auto-retaliate on)

Players may bring a Macaw to help improve their herb drops.

A Chaos Druid has been attempting to rid Gielinor of the order of the White Knights and all their supporters with the aid of a dragon, attacking Sir Vant first and intending to destroy Lumbridge after eliminating him. Luckily, however, he has not succeeded. With the new tutorial though, the chaos druid has been removed and the dragon is considered a pet in the newer version.

Herb running
Herb running is a source of income for low to high levels, that allows the player to train as they make money. You simply walk to the location of the druids, kill them, take the herbs that they drop, (usually Ranarrs are the primary target) bank, and return. If used wisely, this tactic can make over 150k-200k a trip. If you are keeping all the higher herbs, herb gloves from Fist of Guthix activity (especially the higher levelled ones, such as Kwuarm gloves) can greatly increase your profits. Even though all the expensive herbs are (uncommon) drops from Chaos Druids, it is notable that Ranarrs tend to drop more frequently than the other expensive herbs.

For the majority of players who do not have any particularly high gathering skills, this is one of the best ways to make money in Runescape.

Tips

 * Bring a fast weapon such as a scimitar, Abyssal whip, or dragon dagger (p++) as there will most likely be multiple players at your location. Ranging is also recommended to ensure that you will attack a chaos druid first over other players. Ice bursting them is one of the few ways to train Magic and earn a profit.
 * Bring a teleport tab or home teleport to leave quickly for faster banking.
 * Wield the mithril bolts that you get to save space.
 * Keep all law runes. These help for a quick escape if you run out of them.
 * Always keep a familiar on hand.
 * Clean the grimy herbs if you want to get some Herblore experience.
 * You can make Fishing Potions and Prayer Potions to save inventory and get Herblore XP.
 * Mixing some herbs, like Irit, into the vial of water dropped can also increase profits.
 * Bringing a Ring of Wealth will not affect herb drop rates, as it only affects the rare drop table, and all the expensive herb drops are uncommon. (The ring of wealth increases the chance of a rare drop, should the drop be selected from the rare drop table. (rare - very rare)
 * With 41 Summoning, using a Macaw familiar can be very useful. It can improve herb drops, and randomly produce herbs.
 * Killing the druids in the Edgeville Dungeon resource dungeon is incredibly handy due to the large amount of druids and the fact that it is not considered Wilderness. Although many more players will be there. WARNING: Doing this will give enough experience to get from level 10 to level 14 Dungeoneering. So if you don't want to level up your Dungeoneering, do not go through to entrance.

Trivia
Chaosdruide Chaos druid Chaos druid Chaos druid
 * In the God Letters, Guthix said that Chaos druids believe that by helping Zamorak, they will achieve balance, which has some logic to it, as Saradomin does seem to have a lot more hold over the world.
 * A Chaos Druid is controlling the three-headed green dragon in Learning the Ropes.
 * In RuneScape Classic, a PKer could look like a chaos druid by equipping Zamorak Robes and having a beard with white hair. It was the PKer's hope that an inattentive player would attack the PKer, get skulled, and the PKer would kill the victim before they escaped Edgeville Dungeon, or to launch a surprise attack.
