Death (NPC)

Death (previously known as the Grim Spectre of Death prior to the 2009 Hallowe'en event) is a non-player character who appears at a player's death during Hallowe'en Events. When he appears, he proclaims a random phrase (a list of which can be seen below).

He is removed at the end of each holiday event.

Trivia

 * His examine text, "Do not fear the Reaper", may be a reference to the Blue Öyster Cult's song, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper."
 * If two players die at the same time, there will be two Deaths.
 * In certain activities such as Fist of Guthix (on a Fist of Guthix world) you can see a lot of Deaths appearing as each person dies.
 * Whether Death and Grim Reaper are related is unknown. What can be observed is that Death appears as people die, while the Grim Reaper seems to handle what happens afterwards (in the case of players, introducing them to the concept of respawning).
 * It's odd that Death has an examine text of "Do not fear the Reaper" when in fact the Grim Reaper is a completely different NPC . This may suggest that Death and the Grim Reaper are related in some way.
 * During the Hallowe'en events, if a player dies in Daemonheim or while playing a minigame, Death may say "Let me escort you to Lumbridge/Falador/Camelot/Edgeville/Soul Wars, ", but the player will actually be taken to the respawn room with the Smuggler inside it for Daemonheim or the usual respawn spot for the minigame they were playing.
