Nechryael

Nechryaels are level 115 demons that require level 80 Slayer to kill. They are found on the top floor of the Slayer Tower in Morytania and in the Chaos Tunnels. They give 105 Slayer experience when killed and do not require any special equipment to kill. They are also currently the only monster to drop Rune boots. Their drops are very similar to the drops of greater demons.

Strategy
As nechryaels are demons, the magical abilities of Silverlight and Darklight affect them. However Holy water does not seem to have any effect on them.

A nechryael's main attack is a headbutt that hits up to 119 life points. When engaged in melee combat, a nechryael may randomly summon up to two level 46 death spawns to assist it. These death spawns hit a maximum of around 50, and will attack the player even if the player is standing in a single combat zone and is already under attack from the nechryael that summoned them. Players being attacked by death spawn will not automatically attack them even if auto-retaliate is switched on.

Death spawn can be avoided by running a fair distance away, such as to the opposite end of the room. After a few seconds, the death spawn loses interest and stops trying to attack the player. This is easiest to do in the Slayer Tower, with its large rooms but is also fairly easy to do in the Chaos Tunnels. This tactic works best after the summoning nechryael is killed, or otherwise a death spawn that disappears will soon be replaced by a newly summoned one.

Death spawn drops nothing but accursed ashes when killed. Most players with a high defence choose to ignore them completely because they inflict so little damage that they are not worth the time to avoid. However, death spawns attacks are unaffected by protection prayers as they aren't classed as melee, range or mage. This could be an issue if you choose to use Dharok's armour while killing nechryael.

Using a Guthan's set against a nechryael is extremely effective. Also, one could use Guthan's/Saradomin Godsword special/other healing method on the death spawn because of their low defence compared to a nechryael. Another method of healing would be to use an enchanted or enhanced excalibur, which can respectively be obtained by completing the Seer's hard and elite tasks. (The easy and medium tasks must also be done to obtain these rewards.)

Additionally, using burst or barrage spells or chinchompas on nechryael are a great source of crimson charms for players (in the chaos tunnels) because the rune drops can offset some of the cost of the runes or chinchompas.

For those who wish to mage or range nechryael in the Slayer Tower, there is a table in the northwest corner of the room that can be effectively used as a safespot. Another good strategy is to stand behind a death spawn so the nechryael will get trapped behind it.

Trivia

 * The word "Nechryael" appears to be both the singular and plural as indicated by slayer masters when assigning them and giving tips on fighting them, and by the Ring of Slaying when checking the progress of the assignment. In this way, "Nechryael" is an irregular plural like "Sheep". This is also the case with Bloodveld, Dagannoth, and Catablepon, among others.
 * Although auto-retaliate does not work against death spawn, their attack will still interrupt teleporting with a 2-click teleport like a ring of duelling (unless you equip the item and then teleport through the Equipment screen). The home teleport, which is usually interupted by attacks is not interupted by the Nechyrael death spawns attacks.
 * In Thok It To 'Em, there are monsters called "Uglies" which are identical to Nechyraels except for their lower combat level (105 instead of 115).
 * The old graphics of Nechryael used to show a pentagram on its chest, a symbol of many religions and a sign that has many occult meanings - not to be confused with Satanism.
 * Chaotic equipment will degrade more quickly when fighting nechryael because of attacks from their death spawns.
