Aquanite

Aquanite is a Slayer monster announced by Jagex in a Guaranteed Content poll on 17 June 2009 and subsequently released on the 28th July 2009. The poll asked players which name for the new monster they preferred: Aquanite, Gilidrixon, Amphibrath, Lanterwyn or Anglibian. All the names were suggested by players on the RuneScape Forums thread "Name A Slayer Creature" in "Suggestions - Monster and NPC". The name Aquanite won the Guaranteed Contest Poll over Gilidrixon by 117 votes.

Strategy
CAUTION should be used if using prayer to fight Aquanites, as their special attack will deactivate a player's prayers in a similar manner to the special attack of the Dragon Scimitar. It is advisable to wear gear with high magic defense, such as Dragonhide armour or Karil's set. Aquanites' attacks can hit fairly hard but are relatively inaccurate, so with the use of a healing familiar or similar methods, players may fight for long periods of time.
