Cave crawler

Cave crawlers are Slayer monsters that require level 10 slayer to kill. They drop a variety of herblore related items and a few seeds. They are, however, poisonous, and have an extremely fast healing rate making them somewhat more dangerous than their combat level suggests.

Cave crawlers are also a popular delicacy amongst the Dorgeshuun cave goblins, who cut them into fillets and serve them on a large platter. The poisonous parts of their body are presumably removed.

Locations

 * Fremennik Slayer Dungeon (level 23) - Recommended for slayer tasks and slaying in general. Many in one open space.
 * Lumbridge Swamp Caves (level 23)
 * Dorgesh-Kaan South Dungeon (level 23)
 * Desert Slayer Dungeon (level 138)

Strengths and weaknesses
Cave crawlers poison fairly often so it is advised that players bring at least one anti-poison potion when fighting them. Their poison will initially cause 8 damage.

The level 138 cave crawlers are in a multi-combat zone, and it is recommended that you use a Dwarf multicannon and protect from melee to slay.

Level 23 and 138 cave crawlers drop all of the required components for many potions such as Prayer potion (Vial of water, Ranarr weed and Snape grass) at a fairly regular rate, allowing players to stay in the area for longer. They also drop all the ingredients for both Antipoison and Super Antipoison which is very handy considering they poison so frequently. Some other useful potions made from their drops are Restore potion, Strength potion, Super strength potion, Super attack potion, and Super defence potion.
