Grifolapine

The Grifolapine is a monster found in the Polypore Dungeon on the third level. It requires a Slayer level of 88 to kill, and 60 Magic for the player to receive as a Slayer assignment. They are located in the third level of Polypore Dungeon.

Grifolapines have similar drops to Grifolaroos but have better drops.

Strategy
The mushrooms on the platform can be used to hide behind to prevent toxic fungus damage. This monster attacks with magic most of the time, so Protect from Magic/Deflect Magic will prevent most damage dealt. When using Neem oil it will not attack with Magic anymore, but it will use its Ranged attack, hence using Protect from Missiles/Deflect Missiles can be used. It is resistant to Ranged and Melee damage, so Magic would be the ideal method of attacking these creatures, as with other monsters.

Unusually enough, they will only move during combat, when pursuing the player. They are usually located in their own platform which shouldn't be hard enough to find. They should be dealt with care as their fungal attack causes rapid 12-18s every second. Their attacks are extremely accurate, but they usually hit very low (less then 80) and will rarely hit extremely high. Prayer can be used to block their attacks, and Protect/Deflect Magic should be used as their magic attack hits harder then their ranged attack.

While during combat, the Grifolapine will not move unless it needs to. This will be shown with a "Rraagh!" which makes the Grifolapine move extremely fast (running speed for players). This can be blocked by moving into a fungal obstacle. While this special is used, the Grifolapine will not attack during the phase and will skip one attack, allowing you to use Neem oil on it to disable their magic attacks for a short time. The best two areas to kill them are the ladders linking floors 2 and 4 on the main chamber, as there will be no Ganodermic runts that will interfere with the process.

Trivia

 * When the Grifolapine rushes at a player, it exclaims "Raargh!", but if the player is behind an object, such as a fungal growth, it will say "* sigh *" and resume ranged and magic attacks.
 * It appears to be based on a porcupine.
 * Their ranged attack (which is similar to a Grifolaroo's) seems similar to that of the Kalphite Queen's ranged attack.
