Crimson skillchompa (Hunter)



Crimson skillchompas are found to the south of the Desert Quarry, in the western part of the Kharidian Desert. Crimson skillchompas can be caught using the Hunter skill. They can be trapped with box traps at level 89 Hunter and give 450 Hunter experience when caught. Once caught, crimson skillchompas transform into stackable crimson skillchompas, which can be wielded to give benefits while skilling.

Crimson skillchompas can be attacked and explode when killed. If the attacking player is next to the skillchompa when it explodes, they will be pushed back 1 square and dealt 20 life points damage. Players hunting these skillchompas should take care, as accidentally clicking on one will cause the player to attack it. A player can avoid this entirely by equipping a bow without arrows. Then, an accidental click does not start an attack, since the bow has no arrows. (Crystal bows, zaryte bows and chargebows cannot be used in this fashion, since they do not need arrows.)

As crimson skillchompas are located in the desert, players wishing to catch them are advised to bring protection from the desert heat effect. Recommended items include an enchanted water tiara, or waterskins and runes for the Lunar spell Humidify.
