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(es) around it. The only way to kill it is by standing between the behemoth and its food sources.

If there are two or more people in the party, then there will be two carcasses which need to be blocked by two people. If only one 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. Do not 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 level 1 Dungeoneering.

A good strategy would be equipping the best metal armour you can wear/afford and use a crush weapon, while having the Protect from Magic prayer activated.

Trivia

 * Occasionally, The Gluttonous Behemoth disappears when attacking it.
 * The carcass the monster feeds on is a Bovimastyx - to defeat it you must stand between the behemoth and the carcass. As implied by the Game Guide, Bovimastyx is a portmanteau of "Bovine" and "Mastyx",a generic name for all the mastyx beasts as a species.
 * 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 is one of these behemoths, due to its very similar body structure and it occasionally gives behemoth notes after it has been defeated. The other one is Stomp, but he is only seen partially.
 * In the Adventurer's Log the Gluttonous Behemoth's name was misspelled as "Gluttenous" Behemoth. This has been fixed.
 * If you have enough people, then there will be two carcasses for the Gluttonous Behemoth to eat from so you need to have at least 2 people to block both carcasses.
 * In Hebrew, Behemoth is the plural for 'beast'.
 * If you're in a party with 2 people and all the other party members leaves the dungeon, the Gluttonous Behemonth cannot be defeated.
