Ripper demon (species)

Ripper demons are very powerful and agile demons, which use their long claws to tear the victim into many parts. They came to Gielinor in the Second Age and initially served the god Zaros. After Zamorak defeated him however, many of them joined his side and proved to be very important followers.

During the God Wars, the Zamorakian ripper demons were tasked to kill important individuals of other armies. 'The Ripper' was among the most important of them, he killed Sergeant Mazakon, an Icyene commander of Saradomin, Saint Elspeth, an important recruiter which sang beautiful songs to inspire Saradominists to join Saradomin's army, and many other important targets. The Zarosian ripper demons however, aimed to kill the betrayers of Zaros, and were responsible for killing 2 of the 5 last Dragon Riders, as they thought they were betrayers as well. They likely had other victims, but due to the lack of information of their moves, it is unknown.

During the Second Age (when all of them, or at least an enormous part of them served Zaros), a pack of them attacked a small village for unknown reasons, however, Torva, who was an inhabitant of the village single handedly defeated them, impressing Nex, who recruited him to her army.
