Chaos Elemental

The Chaos Elemental is one of the strongest monsters in the Wilderness, overtaking the King Black Dragon, which held the title for 4 years. The Chaos Elemental held the title for 2 years and 7 months before the introduction of the Corporeal Beast. It is currently the most powerful non-quest monster in the Wilderness.

The Chaos Elemental is coveted for the dragon 2h sword it drops, which sells for 0 coins. It can also drop Ancient Warrior's equipment and ancient artefacts, which can sell anywhere from 5000 to 5 million coins. However, the rate of the PvP items and artefacts is much rarer than when killing Revenants.

On 1 February 2011, the Chaos Elemental received a graphical update. Prior to this update, it resembled a dark cloud with six tentacles and a lavender tint.

The Chaos Elemental is a superb choice of farming Chaos runes, Blood runes or Death runes, as it drops numerous quantities of them, more than most other monsters in RuneScape.

Location
The Chaos Elemental dwells in the members-only section of the Wilderness, just west of the Rogue's Castle. This area is moderately easy to access from the deep Wilderness teleport lever in Ardougne or Edgeville. A Wilderness Obelisk can randomly teleport players southeast of the Rogue's Castle.

Attacks


The Chaos Elemental's primary attack, a projectile attack, is a series of different colours fired at the target. This attack can deal either magic, ranged, or melee damage - it is impossible to distinguish what damage is dealt until the attack hits. The projectiles hit into the 500s, but it is still suggested that you use Protect from Magic to reduce the chance of being hit, as the projectile deals magic damage most frequently.

It also has two special attacks. The first one teleports players a short space or several spaces away from it. The second attack unequips items that players are wielding, forcing them to take time to re-equip their armour and weapons before continuing the battle. Its attacks will continue to follow the player until impact and can travel through walls.

Drops
As of 1 February 2011, the drops from the Chaos Elemental have been improved, as it now drops Ancient Warriors' Equipment, Ancient artefacts and Brawling gloves in addition to previous drops.

The Chaos Elemental usually drops two items, however it can drop one item occasionally.

Letters
The Chaos Elemental's letters in Postbag from the hedge hint at forthcoming updates, in a rather cryptic manner.

Trivia

 * The examine information of the Chaos Elemental, pUre A cHaOs of crEatuRe!, reflects its chaotic nature. A grammatically correct examine would be "A creature of pure chaos." The chaotic nature of the examine text is also symbolised by the alternating between upper and lower case.
 * In Postbag from the Hedge #39, Reldo states that the Chaos Elemental is related to the Balance Elemental by some means.
 * In Postbag from the Hedge #41, Postie Pete went through the Chaos Elemental's suitcase and found it to be full of paper. He had previously asked the elemental's actual name, and although the Chaos Elemental teleported, the words on the scraps of paper either underlined or circle with red spell the phrase 'Is Eondethwleaos' when reversed.
 * After killing the Chaos Elemental, your adventurer's log will say "I killed the cHaOs EleMeNTal." Which is like the examine text, as it alternates between upper and lower case.
 * Killing more than one Chaos elemental will result in the Adventurer's log saying "I killed # cHaOs EleMeNTalS."
 * Currently, this monster holds the record for having the largest drop table, with 128 different items, not counting different quantities or the rare drop table.
 * Prior to the Evolution of Combat, the Chaos Elemental had a combat level of 305.
 * After the Evolution of Combat, a glitch may occur after it reaches 0 hitpoints where it is able to launch one more attack on you. The same also affects a few other monsters and is yet to be fixed.
