Jungle strykewyrm

Jungle strykewyrms are slayer monsters that are located north-west of Oo'glog, near the fishing spot. You may only fight these creatures if you are assigned them as a slayer task by a master, at least at level 73.

They don't hit very high with their normal melee and magic-based attacks, but they have a special attack, where they tunnel under your feet and then push you back from beneath. This attack hits 30 and poisons you with 4 damage (you can avoid this attack by walking away as soon as it starts tunneling). The Jungle strykewyrm also has a spell which blinds you for 5-7 seconds, making it impossible for the player to eat or to run away. This spell is said to take place every 3-4 hits, this is false. These strykewyrms are weak against "slash" attacks.

It has three attack types:


 * 1) A weak melee attack.
 * 2) A magic cloud-like attack that can poison, dealing 5 damage
 * 3) A special attack when the wyrm buries itself into the ground and then bursts out with tremendous force hitting 30. This attack can be avoided by running away. Standing with your back against a solid object such as a rock or a tree prevents the Strykewyrm using this attack.
