Chaos Elemental

The Chaos Elemental is the game's ninth most powerful monster, with a combat level of 305 and 250 hitpoints. It was released on February 20, 2006. It bears resemblance to a dark cloud with six tentacles and has a lavender tint. It dwells in the members-only section of the Wilderness just west of the Rogue's Castle. It also is currently the strongest Wilderness monster, overtaking the King Black Dragon, which held the title for 4 years.

Attacks
The Chaos Elemental's primary attack, thought to be magic-based, is a series of different colours fired at the target; this cannot be blocked with any form of protection prayer. It also uses two special attacks. The first teleports players a short space to several screens away. The second unequips items that players are wielding, forcing them to take time to equip their armour and weapons before continuing the battle. The Chaos Elemental was introduced along with the Dragon two-handed sword, which it drops.

The Chaos Elemental is almost always hunted in groups, and it is coveted for the dragon two handed sword it drops, which sells at around 1.4 million coins. However, it is possible for a player to kill the Chaos Elemental by him or herself if that player has a reasonably high combat level.

Tactics
A useful tactic which can be used against the Chaos Elemental is to fill up your inventory with bowls of curry. The curry not only is useful as food, but leaves an empty bowl in your inventory when consumed, preventing the Chaos Elemental from unequipping your items (as long as your inventory is full). This tactic also works with potions which leave empty vials when all the doses are taken. Another tip is to put auto retaliate on and always keep a menu up with the option to attack the chaos elemental as when you get teleported you can just click on attack chaos elemental and quickly rejoin the fight.

Unlike some other boss monsters, surrounding the monster really has no use. Players tend to waste valuable time doing this and the must continuously get back into position after being teleported when they could be damaging the creature.

Ideal items for the fight

 * A Dragonhide body as a top piece of armour.
 * Dragonhide chaps for legs.
 * Dragonhide vambraces for arms (not mandatory)
 * An Abyssal whip for a main weapon.
 * A Dragon dagger (preferably super poisoned) for its special (Use special at the start of battle, a Dragon Dagger super poisoned is not mandatory).
 * Curry or higher-level pie as food; most preferably curry as it is consumed in one bite rather than two. Normal food, such as Shark and Monkfish, can also be used.
 * A Super Set consisting of a Super attack potion, a Super strength potion, and a Super defence potion.

With this set the player will keep the Abyssal whip, Dragon dagger, and the Dragonhide body, losing dragonhide chaps and vambraces, potions and food on death.

Going in a team is always advisable, especially as the Chaos Elemental can teleport or disarm a single opponent multiple times if it only has one target, distracting the player from the fight.

Pros/Cons
Pros
 * Moderately easy to access from the deep wilderness teleport lever in Ardougne.
 * Chance of getting valuable drops.

Cons
 * The ability for the Chaos Elemental to unequip all that you are wearing, and its ability to hit through prayer is somewhat intimidating.
 * Since it's in the high level wilderness, players can be attacked by very dangerous revenants, which could easily kill a player weakened by the Chaos Elemental. It is also very common for "revenant packs" (i.e. A group of 2 or more revenants roaming together) to appear in this area and attack any nearby players, and the fact that the area is multicombat allows multiple revenants to gang up on a player.

Trivia
With such a strange beast, it's easy to imagine there are some things about him that no other monster can compare to.
 * It is the only major "boss" monster that does not exist in a sort of arena (Dagannoth Kings live in their cave, Kalphite Queen lives in her cave, etc.)
 * It is the only monster that has two separate drop lists, dropping one item from each list.
