Crawling hand

Crawling hands are Slayer monsters that require level 5 Slayer to kill, and are the first Slayer monsters that beginning Slayers can kill. (Below slayer level 5, players are assigned other monsters.) They frequently drop coloured gloves. They are also one of the creatures that will sometimes "die" in a perfect form allowing you to get it stuffed by a Taxidermist and mounted in your player owned house. The stuffed hand along with 5 Zeal points can also be exchanged for a Creeping Hand Summoning pet at Soul Wars.

Players can also kill Skeletal hands and Zombie hands as part of a crawling hand slayer task. These monsters yield more slayer and combat experience than crawling hands and have better drops. Skeletal and zombie hands are found in the Meiyerditch Dungeon, which can only be accessed during and after the Legacy of Seergaze quest.

Locations

 * Morytania Slayer Tower ground floor

Strengths and weaknesses
As it is undead, Crumble Undead and Salve Amulets are very effective. However, Crawling hands can be easily killed without the spell or amulet since they have a low combat level.

Trivia

 * The concept probably originated from the book, "La Main Gauche" from french author Guy de Maupassant. This theory is backed up by the ability to display the hand in one's home, as in the story. Another possible origin of the Crawling Hand might also be a reference to the Wallmasters/Floormasters from the Legend of Zelda series or the Addams Family.
 * The recent slayer update apparently added level 7 and 11 Crawling Hands near the entrance to the Slayer Tower.
 * With the release of Smoking Kills on the fifth of June 2008, their appearance was changed.
 * With the release of Soul Wars, a player can now exchange the body of the hand to the Nomad in exchange for a pet version for 5 zeal points.
