Aviansie

Aviansie are a race favoured by Armadyl above all. Armadyl thought they were wiped out during the God Wars and left Gielinor. Some were left frozen in the God Wars Dungeon, and they were thawed and resumed battle with the other gods' armies. Because they fly high in the air, they can only be attacked using ranged or magic. If you attempt to attack an Aviansie with a melee weapon, you will receive the message "The Aviansie is flying too high for you to attack using melee." and will be unable to attack it, although the Aviansie will become aggressive to you if it wasn't already.

Trivia

 * Aviansie are unique monsters, as they will react quickly before the projectile (arrow, bolt, mage spell) reaches them. This aggression mechanic is shared only with Killerwatts, except they don't immediately attack back with ranged like Aviansie do.
 * However, if you order your familiar to attack an idle Aviansie, they will not attack the familiar or you until they are attacked by the familiar. This shows that Aviansies were programmed to react quickly to a player's attack, but not another monster or a familiar.
 * Halberds cannot reach an Aviansie, despite their length.
 * Before their graphical update, the weapons used by the Aviansie looked similar to Morrigan's javelin and Morrigan's throwing axe, although they did not drop them. They also wore, depending on the combat level, a full Armadyl set before the graphical update or only the Armadyl chestplate and chainskirt.
 * Aviansie are often hunted for the common drop of 4 noted Adamant bars to make money.
 * Avian is Latin for "of or relating to birds".
 * Aviansie used to drop earth runes, but no longer do so, most likely so that they don't drop all the required items for Bones to Peaches.
 * Aviansie come in both genders, female Aviansie appear to have a blue head and a lower cut platebody, or in full armour where as the males don't have helmets.
 * Aviansie are classified by weakest/weaker/weak/strong/stronger/strongest and have a male and female Aviansie representing each class: Female Aviansie typically have a higher Combat Level and Max Hit than the Male form who typically have more Life points and higher Defence of the same class
 * Although players cannot attack Aviansies with normal methods of melee, other God Wars monsters as well as familiars can.
 * A player can attack an Aviansie with melee using salamanders, which results in Strength experience.
 * A prior graphical glitch fixed in a hidden update would show crossbow bolts shooting underneath and making no contact with an Aviansie.
 * In God Wars Dungeon there was a statue of a "Frozen Warrior" who appeared to be stabbing an Aviansie with a spear. This is no longer seen after the graphical update.
 * There used to be a bug where players positioning themselves and the Aviansie in a certain position could safespot them. This was later fixed.
 * If the player attacks an Aviansie when another monster is fighting it, the Aviansie will start to attack the player, unlike the other monsters in the God Wars Dungeon.
 * When the javelin-wielding Aviansies die, their javelins appear to fade away as they fall while the rest of the Aviansie stays.
 * Aviansie had the most levels for one type of a creature outside of Dungeoneering, ranging from 69 to 148. This is no longer true.
 * After the staff boost update, players were unable to attack Aviansies with magic, even if the spell they were using was on autocast. This was fixed in a hidden update.
 * Aviansie are unable to drop charms. (May need verification)
 * Aviansies used to have a similar death animation as Kree'arra and his bodyguards. The similarity between Kree'arra is not true after the graphical update, but they still have the same death animation as his bodyguards.
 * After EoC update it appears avansie can sometimes use a melee attack style, even from a distance.
 * It seems that the height at which the Aviansies fly was changed during the God Wars Dungeon major update on 5 September 2012.
 * Aviansies used to only attack with ranged by throwing axes or javelins until the God Wars graphical update.
 * The level 109 and 148 Aviansies use long-range melee attacks. It is unknown whether this is intentional or a glitch.
 * When killed in a certain spot, an Aviansie's drop may appear on top of a pillar. These items can still be picked up.
 * When asked for advice by a Slayer master, the Slayer master will say "Well, last time I fought Spiritual rangers I used a crossbow with bolts and took them down effectively." This is most likely an oversight from Jagex.
 * With the release of the Wilderness Warbands, Aviansies could be assigned to a player.
