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 of its life points, it starts to rapidly heal itself by eating the carcass(es) on either side of it. (There will only be 1 carcass if the difficulty on one player dungeon floors) The only way to kill it is by standing between the behemoth and its food sources. It will help you to kill him if you go and stand there when you enter the room directly blocking him to use food.

Strategy
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. If the carcasses are not blocked, the behemoth will begin eating to restore its lifepoints to maximum. As of 15 March 2011, it can only do this once per dungeon. Therefore, if the party starts with more than one player, and all but one drop out, the remaining player will not be able to defeat the beast without it healing. Putting camp fires up in front of the carcasses DOES NOT prevent the beast from feeding. 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 gatestone on the spot between the beast and the carcass. When approaching death, open the magic spellbook tab, and be ready to teleport to your gatestone 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. Unfortunately, experience is greatly reduced whilst fighting the Behemoth, making this training method ineffective. Moreover, as of 15 March 2011, the behemoth has fewer life points, and will only heal itself once per dungeon. 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 and to buy and use a crush weapon, while having the Protect from Magic prayer activated.

Also, if you are killed, run in as fast as you can and jump in front of its food source. The behemoth will have the same amount of health as when you died if not a little more. You need to move quick in order for this to work, though.

Trivia

 * Occasionally, The Gluttonous Behemoth disappears while attacking it with Soul Split activated. This has not been fixed.
 * Like the Corporeal Beast and other behemoths, 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 other four behemoths that can be seen are Bulwark Beast, Stomp, Runebound behemoth, and the Hope devourer.
 * In the Adventurer's Log the Gluttonous Behemoth's name was misspelled as "Gluttenous" Behemoth. This has been fixed.
 * The experience gained from attacking the Gluttonous Behemoth is similar to that of a sandbag found in Lumbridge possibly to avoid people from attacking him at a position that allows the Behemoth to heal so you can get infinite experience out of him at a sufficient rate. This has been fixed; now you'll get the normal rate of experience, but to compensate, the behemoth will only restore itself to maximum life points once per dungeon.
 * On a 5:5 floor, the Gluttonous Behemoth is the highest level boss that can be faced in Free-to-play, at level 209. It is followed by the Hobgoblin Geomancer at level 206.
 * The behemoth feeds from bovimastyx,which is portmanteau of bovine and mastyx, which are term to Daemonheim 'dinosaurs'.
 * When playing with two people in a dungeon with food sources when the Gluttonous Behemoth turns around the player may randomly run away allowing it access to its food, it is not known if this is a glitch or not.
 * Before Dungeoneering was updated to ignore Summoning levels on a player, it was possible to fight Gluttonous Behemoths of Combat level 613. It is still possible, albeit rare, to fight the level 613 version if the party all have level 120 dungeoneering and 5 level 138s with maxed out gear bound.
