Locust rider

Locust riders are encountered during the Contact! quest, inside the Scabaras Maze. The level 98 riders attack using somewhat slow Ranged attacks. The level 106 version uses a spear for melee, and attacks faster than the rangers. The level 106 riders can hit a maximum of 250 life points, and the level 98s can hit up to 227. The level 68 riders are only encountered when fighting the Giant Scarab, and have a maximum hit of around 150. Remember that you need to bring a light source when you are in the dungeon.

Locust Riders are scattered mercifully throughout the dungeon. If a player takes the right path, it's doubtful he or she will even encounter one. Still, should a player encounter them, he or she should remember that they can hit up to about 250 life points, so Protection Prayers and good food are of the utmost importance, especially if multiple riders are encountered.

The Keris Dagger special effect works against Locust Riders.

Though not directly assigned, Locust Riders may be slain as part of a Scabarite assignment. These monsters respawn at an extremely fast rate, so it may be ideal to stay in one spot.

A good strategy to kill these is to wear prayer-boosting armour, such as Proselyte armour and use Protect/Deflect from Ranged. When your prayer gets low, go back up to Sophanem and recharge your prayer at the High Priest's altar.
