Ankou

Ankou are undead monsters found on the fourth level of the Stronghold of Security, known as The Sepulchre of Death. All varieties of Ankou have a maximum hit of 8 damage. The highest-level Ankous are one of the strongest monsters open to non-members, surpassed only by random event monsters and greater demons.

This monster is a very popular monster to train in members because of its decent blood and death rune drops. In the free world, ankous are rarely attacked due to its high level yet high level players will attack these monsters for its drop of law runes and adamant arrows.

The ankou is the only monster to drop the left skull half, which is needed as part of the skull sceptre.

Training on the monster is always very profitable but if you decide to train down there bring a Ring of wealth because with a Ring of wealth youll get around 100 Death runes and 100 Blood runes. You could also occaisoinaly get the rare drop of a level 3 clue scroll.

Weakness
The weakness of the Ankou is the magic spell, Crumble undead. You can also use the Salve amulet or Salve amulet (e) for an attack and strength bonus. Among melee attacks, ankou seems weakest against slash.
