Wall beast

A Wall beast is a Slayer monster that requires level 35 Slayer to kill. A Spiny helmet should be used to fight them to prevent major damage. This monster is not very popular, due to the fact that its drops are poor with the exception of the Mystic hat. It is found only in the Lumbridge Swamp Caves.

This creature is infamous for surprising, and often killing, low-level players in the Lumbridge caves.

The creature's immunity to poison has been confirmed with the use of the Monster examine spell.

Players should note when using Ranged, bolts and arrows disappear into the wall even when using Ava's accumulator.

Appearance


When a wall beast attacks a player, only its arm is seen sticking out of the wall. However, in the July 2006 edition of Postbag from the Hedge a player asked for a picture of the wall beast's whole body. .

The reply contained no words, only a picture of a grotesque green creature that presumably is the wall beast's true form. It has a somewhat humanoid Cyclopsean structure with atrophic limbs except for one upper arm, which is presumably the one it uses to attack, consistent with its living environment. It also has a total of four body piercings in places that would be nipple piercings in humans, two in each side laterally. The abdomen includes a central feature that may be analogous to the navel in humans.

Lumbridge Swamp Caves


Players can find wall beasts in Lumbridge Swamp Caves. When walking past one without wearing a spiny helmet, there is a chance it will grab the player by the head and slam him or her against the wall. This will result in 110 to 180 life points being lost.

Nevertheless, even if the player forgets their spiny helmet, they may still avoid damage from these: move to beside their opening and stop. Make sure run is on, and click beyond their opening. Doing this will make passing the wall beast guaranteed, without it grabbing your head.

On another note, when slaying wall beasts, it is recommended that players only fight the wall beast closest to the main entrance of the Lumbridge Swamp Caves. When a player climbs down the rope, there will be a wall beast lurking in the wall just ahead.

Strengths and weaknesses
Players should wear a spiny helmet whilst fighting wall beasts, otherwise they will grab them by the head and slam them against the wall, removing up to 180 life points.

If players wear a spiny helmet, the grabbing attack will fail. A wall beast's maximum hit on a player wearing a spiny helmet is 44.

Along with a spiny helmet, a spiked helmet, Slayer helmet or Full slayer helmet may also be used.

Contrary to what the above picture may imply, the wall beast does not count as a large animal and therefore the Dragon Halberd's special attack does not produce two hits on it.



Training tips

 * A player can "reset" the wall beast spawn by quickly climbing up the rope of the cavern and then back down—this is much faster than waiting for the wall beast to respawn by itself.
 * Always remember to wear one of the helmets. (listed above)
 * Don't waste your time trying to poison them; it doesn't have any effect against them. However, the special attack of the Dragon dagger can still come in handy.
 * Remember to walk, not run. You will run right past them!
 * They have a respawn time just like all the other monsters in the game, so place yourself near two different holes if not using the rope trick described above.
 * They are located in the Lumbridge swamp caves, so remember a light source.
 * Players may wish to bring an antipoison in case they accidentally attack a cave slime or a cave crawler, which are poisonous.
 * This monster has the highest life points of any monster under level 50. This means a Trident's special attack, Reap, can 1-hit KO it for a nice 1050 damage. This also means this is the highest anyone with 1 strength or attack can hit, since the normal version of the trident has the special as well as the Master form (normal form requires 70 mage though, Master requires 70 mage & attack)
