Lava titan

Lava titans are level 83 Summoning familiars, introduced with the "Summoning 2" update on 31 March 2008. They are part of the Titan group of familiars. Lava titans provide a +10 boost to both Mining and Firemaking levels. These familiars are also capable of teleporting a player to the entrance of the Lava Maze, deep in level 38 Wilderness.

Lava titans are useful for high-level mining. They provide a +10 Mining boost, which greatly speeds up mining. However, as it is invisible, it does NOT enable players to mine anything they cannot mine without any boost. The teleport to the Lava Maze is very close to the Hobgoblin Mine with its abundance of adamantite, mithril, and coal, not to mention the runite mine to the north. It's also the fastest way to access the King Black Dragon Lair. Caution should be exercised when using the teleport, as it sends the player deep into the Wilderness where they will be unable to teleport away again.

This can also be a useful familiar when using a hand cannon as it provides an invisible +10 firemaking boost, lowering the chance of the hand cannon exploding.

It has a chance of dealing an extra 50 damage with its attacks, which counts as a separate hit. It also has a unique attacking animation; a gold tailwind appears behind the Lava titan's club when it strikes an opponent, similar to the special attack of the Barrelchest anchor.

They are also commonly used to boost mining levels to make it easier to mine in the living rock caverns.
