Skogre

Beta

Skogres are encountered during the Zogre Flesh Eaters quest and live south of Castle Wars. An aggressive Skogre may also appear when you bury Zogre bones inside Jiggig. Their name appears to be a portmanteau of "skeleton" and "ogre".

Locations

 * Jiggig, south of Castle Wars

Strengths and weaknesses
Skogres are almost immune to normal weapons (you will hit, but not often, and not hard). Brutal arrows are effective against them, as is the Crumble Undead spell (damage is halved, for a maximum of 80).

They can also infect you with Disease, but you may counteract this with Relicym's balm or Sanfew serum, which may be bought from Uglug Nar outside Jiggig for 200 coins (Relicym's balm only), purchased on the Grand Exchange, or made using Herblore. An Inoculation brace will protect you as well. When you attempt to bury the bones after killing it, a new one may spawn and attack you. Additionally, players may immunize themselves against disease for a period of time by visiting the thermal bath in Oo'glog, provided they have completed the As a First Resort... quest. The "Cure" option of the Unicorn Stallion familiar will also cure disease, however it does not provide any further immunity to it.

Money Making Guide
These are a great way to make money and get range experience too. Their 100% drops are around 3k and high level rangers will have no problem taking them down in few shots. It is recommended that you don't use coffin keys on the coffins because you can get a few nails, an iron pickaxe or nothing at all. There are many safe spots throughout the dungeon you can range them from, these include and are not limited to: at the cave entrance there is a rock to hide behind, down the stairs you can range them from behind the coffins and you can also range them from the small triangle of rocks to the west.

Trivia

 * Originally, the examine text for the Skogre was "It's falling apart!" before a graphical update; however, it should be noted that a few Skogres still retain this examine text.
 * Due to damage reduction, the special attack of the Penance trident will hit 177 instead of a 1-hit kill.
