Gargoyle



Gargoyles are Slayer monsters that require level 75 slayer to kill. A rock hammer is needed to kill them once they reach less than 10 hitpoints. They are the only monsters that drop Granite mauls.

The statues in front of the Slayer Tower are gargoyles, and as the door opens, their wings open as well.

Locations

 * Morytania Slayer Tower
 * Chaos Tunnels

Strengths and weaknesses
Players must use a rock hammer to break them apart when they reach less than 10 hitpoints. Gargoyles restore hitpoints at an abnormally high rate, restoring two hitpoints after approximately five seconds. They can hit a maximum of 11.

Gargoyles are weak to crush attacks, however regular weapons such as the Abyssal whip still work just as well(in fact there is almost no noticable difference). The extremely slow speed of the Barrelchest anchor makes it a very poor choice, however the crush bonus of the Godsword is fairly effective against them. The Saradomin sword may be a better choice since they are faster.
