Living rock striker

Living rock strikers can be found throughout the Living Rock Caverns. They were released along with the Living Rock Caverns on 17 September 2009. They have very high hitpoints, decent drops, and are fairly easy to kill. A person with 90+ defence, with rune or better armour, could easily kill one of these without taking much damage.They will only use their ranged attack if you move a distance from it, which hits much more frequently and consistently harder than their melee attack, if the player attacks them and is not in melee range. In addition, they are aggressive, but the player must be right next to them to be targeted. A player with good clicking skills could navigate the cavern without being attacked at all.

Their remains can be mined to receive living minerals and 25 Mining experience. A mining level of at least 73 is required. The minerals serve as bait for fishing rocktails.

Lower levels can use Protect from Range or Protect from Melee depending on combat style, although it is recommended to use Protect from Range, as these monsters hit more frequently and harder with ranged attacks.

An Enhanced Excalibur or Bunyip familiar are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! A combination of these two may allow players to complete a slayer task without even banking.

Trivia

 * When Living Rock Strikers stand still, at a set amount of time they would either scratch their Floating.jpg chest, or pluck a rock from itself, and take a short look at it before putting it back.On certain Worlds such as World 84, players attacking Living Rock Strikers may not be seen, making the Living Rock Striker look like it's hitting nothing. In other times, a player may look like they're floating. This is probably due to the immense number of people fishing and/or mining, causing lag.
 * When a Living Rock Striker drops a Starved Ancient Effigy, the Effigy appears directly below the remains, while the drop appears to the side.
