Chaos Elemental

Beta

The Chaos Elemental is the 14th most powerful monster with a combat level of 305 and 2500 life points. It used to be the strongest monster in the Wilderness, overtaking the King Black Dragon, which held the title for 4 years. The Chaos Elemental held the title for another 2 years and 7 months before the introduction of the Corporeal Beast. It is currently the most powerful non-quest monster in the Wilderness.

The Chaos Elemental is almost always hunted in groups because of its dangerous location, and it is coveted for the dragon 2h sword it drops, which sells at 0 coins. It can also drop Ancient Warrior's equipment and ancient artefacts. However, it is possible for a player to kill the Chaos Elemental by him or herself if that player has a reasonably high combat level.

On 1 February 2011, the Chaos Elemental received a graphical update. Prior to this update, it resembled a dark cloud with six tentacles and a lavender tint.

Location
The Chaos Elemental dwells in the members-only section of the Wilderness, just west of the Rogue's Castle. This area is moderately easy to access from the deep Wilderness teleport lever in Ardougne or Edgeville. A Wilderness Obelisk can randomly teleport players southeast of the Rogue's Castle.

Attacks
The Chaos Elemental's primary attack, a magic attack, is a series of different colours fired at the target. It also has a ranged attack and a far reaching melee attack that looks exactly the same. They hit a maximum of 284, but it is still suggested that you use Protect from Magic to reduce the chance of being hit, as it uses its magic attacks most frequently.

It also has two special attacks. The first one teleports players a short space or several spaces away from it. The second attack unequips items that players are wielding, forcing them to take time to re-equip their armour and weapons before continuing the battle.

Drops
As of 1 February 2011, the drops from the Chaos Elemental have been improved, as it now drops Ancient Warriors' Equipment, Ancient artefacts and Brawling gloves in addition to previous drops.

Letters
The Chaos Elemental's letters in Postbag from the hedge hint at forthcoming updates, in a rather cryptic manner.

Trivia

 * It is the only major "boss" monster that does not exist in its own "area" or "arena" (Dagannoth kings live in their cave, Kalphite Queen lives in her lair, etc.). Though, the Wilderness could be viewed as quite chaotic at times.
 * The examine information of the Chaos Elemental, pUre A cHaOs of crEatuRe!, reflects its chaotic nature. A grammatically correct examine would be "A creature of pure chaos." The chaotic nature of the examine text is also symbolised by the alternating between upper and lower case.
 * In Postbag from the Hedge #39, Reldo states that the Chaos Elemental is related to the Balance Elemental by some means.
 * In Postbag from the Hedge #41, Postie Pete went through the Chaos Elemental's suitcase and found it to be full of paper. He had previously asked the elemental's actual name, and although the Chaos Elemental teleported, the words on the scraps of paper either underlined or circle with red spell the phrase 'Is Eondethwleaos' when reversed.
 * After killing the Chaos Elemental, your adventurer's log will say "I killed the cHaOs EleMeNTal." Which is like the examine text, as it alternates between upper and lower case. After Jagex's Runescape website was updated, this is was no longer visible. However, due to a hidden update, it is now possible to view one's adventurer's log.
 * It is possible for the Chaos elemental to deal two hits. A player must be teleported and then must click on the Chaos elemetal, which will then cause the Chaos elemental to attack with melee from a distance then following up with another random attack. This might be a glitch, as only dragons are capable of doing this with their dragonfire and melee attacks.
 * Killing more then one Chaos elemental will result in the Adventurer's log saying "I killed # Chaos Elementals."
 * When the Chaos elemental is defeated, it freezes up (stops moving) for a second or so before blowing up. This might be a glitch as other monsters do not pause up before dying unless you were to attack them after they stopped attacking you.
 * Despite being able to drop the PvP armours and weapons, it seems as though most revenants have a better chance of dropping artefacts and PvP equipment than the Chaos elemental.
 * Outside near the border of the wilderness, you can see signs and some have the words BEWARE on them with a picture of a circle with 2 lines on top on each side, this could be a small drawing of the original Chaos Elemental's look: A cloud with tentacles on top.
 * Currently, this monster holds the record for having the largest drop table.
