Gluttonous behemoth

The Gluttonous behemoth is a boss monster that was released along with the Dungeoneering skill. It can only be encountered during Dungeoneering. After losing half its Life points it starts to rapidly heal itself by eating the carcass on its either sides. The only way to kill it is by blocking the way between it and its food sources.

If the amount of players in the party at the start of the raid is more than 1, then there will be 2 carcasses which need to be blocked by 2 people. If only 1 player is in the party at the start of the raid then there will only be one carcass. Therefore, if the party starts with more than one player, and all but one drop out, the remaining player will be unable to defeat the beast. Unfortunately, if one player dies in duo mode, the beast will be able to regain health while the player comes back to the boss room. To prevent this, you should drop a teleport stone on the spot between the beast and the carcass. When approaching death, open the magic spellbook tab, and be ready to teleport to your stone as soon as you die. Don't forget to create and drop another stone as soon as possible in the boss room. If soloing, having a gatestone on you is a great choice in the case you die. It will automatically be dropped, so by teleporting back you will automatically be in between the behemoth and the carcass, preventing him from restoring any health.

It has been suggested that this creature is an excellent way to train combat, as it can constantly heal itself. However, experience is greatly reduced whilst fighting the Behemoth, making this ineffective. This Boss is one of the three bosses that are available at dungeoneering level 1.

A good strategy would be equipping the best metal Armour you can wear/afford and use a crush weapon while having the protection from magic prayer activated.

Trivia

 * Occasionally, The Gluttonous Behemoth tends to disspear when attacking it.
 * The carcass the monster feeds on is a Bovimastyx - to defeat it you must stand between the behemoth and the carcass.


 * If you are soloing the monster then there will only be one carcass next to the Gluttonous behemoth, so you can kill it easily.


 * Like the Corporeal Beast, the Gluttonous behemoth has a stomp attack for players who try to hide beneath it.


 * According to the notes that may be dropped on the beast's death, there are more Behemoths to be found throughout the dungeon, and only the ones with thick hides were sent to the top as guard dogs. Due to the cold, there would barely be any food, making them more aggressive and able to fight for more. The Bulwark beast appears to be one of these behemoths, due to its very similar body structure.
