Turoth

Turoths are Slayer monsters that require a Slayer of 55 to kill. They drop herb and herb seeds fairly commonly, though not as frequently as Aberrant spectres.

Turoths, like Kurasks, must be killed with either a Leaf-bladed spear, a Leaf-bladed sword, a Slayer's staff/Magic Dart spell (which also requires a Magic level of 50), or Broad arrows/Broad-tipped bolts, or else your attacks will be ineffective. Also, none the weapons required to kill this monster are poisonable, making the Turoth immune to poison.

A Leaf-bladed sword is an alternative for players who have the money to purchase it. The sword is faster than its spear counterpart, and is only one-handed, leaving room for the player to equip a shield or defender. If using the spear or sword, it is recommended that players use the Stab style, as the weapons give a higher stab bonus than slash or crush.

Turoths seem to be weak to range. There is a safespot on the northern wall in the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon making it very easy to hit them with Broad-tipped bolts. Because of this trips can be made very long. There is another safespot at the southern end of the cave in the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon. A player must lure it to the passage leading into the Kurasks, and walk halfaway and attack with Magic Dart, Broad arrows, or Broad-tipped bolts.

The lower-leveled Turoths have a maximum hit of 9 damage, while the higher-leveled ones can hit up to 10. They are fairly inaccurate, but if they hit, they usually hit high.
