Jungle strykewyrm

Jungle strykewyrms are slayer monsters that are located north-west of Oo'glog, near the fishing spot. You may only fight these creatures if you are assigned them as a slayer task.

They don't hit very high with their normal melee and magic-based attacks, but they have a special attack, where they tunnel under your feet and then push you back from beneath. This attack hits 30 and poisons you with 4 damage (you can avoid this attack by walking away as soon as it starts tunneling). The Jungle strykewyrm also has a spell which blinds you for 5-7 seconds, making it impossible for the player to eat or to run away. This spell is said to take place every 3-4 hits.

It has three attack types:


 * 1) A weak melee attack.
 * 2) A magic cloud-like attack that can poison, dealing 5 damage
 * 3) A special attack when the wyrm buries itself into the ground and then bursts out with tremendeous force hitting 30. This attack can be avoided by running away.

Trivia

 * If standing in or close to a Strykewyrm, a player will be hurled away and be dealt 30 hitpoints of damage even if the player isn't the one slaying it.
 * The release of Strykewyrms was hinted with the Twitter Clue "Three strykes and they're out" and the Chaos Elemental hint in the Postbag a few weeks earlier.
 * Many players are upset that Kuradal does not assign Jungle strykewyrms because those who wish to attain the Hexcrest as a drop must downgrade to using Duradel/Lapalok or Sumona to receive a Jungle strykewyrm task.
 * The Strykewyrm Twitter hint is a pun on the baseball term Three strikes and you're out!. Also, the three strikes refer to the three kinds of wyrms.
