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, greater demons, and certain revenants.

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 their high level, but some players may kill these monsters for their drops of law runes and adamant arrows.

The ankou is the only monster to drop the left skull half, a component needed to assemble the skull sceptre.

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 stab.

Training
This is also a good way for med-high lvl people to train. It is also a great way to make money by selling their drops like Bloods, Deaths, ETC.

Reference
Ankous bear resemblance to Re-deads from the Legend of Zelda series.
