Scabarites

Scabarites refers to any of the followers of Scabaras, the God of the Scarabs. The Scabarites are fairly strong monsters, and can hit pretty hard. As they generally appear in multi-combat areas (sharing the same dungeon area), and have various combat styles, it can be fairly difficult to fight them even with protection prayers.

The various types of Scabarites:
 * Locust lancers
 * Locust rangers
 * Scabaras lancers
 * Scabaras mages
 * Scabaras rangers
 * Scarab larvae
 * Scabaras locust - Currently does not count for slayer, may be glitch or oversight.
 * High Priest of Scabaras - he is an NPC, and is involved in the Dealing with Scabaras quest

Slayer Strategy

 * When given Scabarites as a Slayer task, any of the Scabarites listed above will count, except Scabaras locust and the High Priest of Scabaras. The Slayer assignments generally allocate them in fairly high numbers (100+).
 * Cannons could come in handy for those who can afford it, as most Scabarites are in a multi-combat area.
 * Using full Guthans is a reasonable, if somewhat expensive, slayer strategy.


 * In the swamp area east of the Agility Pyramid
 * Stay in the place (as in the image) to make them non-aggressive in very short period of time.
 * Do not leave the square.
 * Stay south of the statue in swampy area to avoid the desert heat effect.

Habitat(s)

 * The dungeon under Sophanem, which features in the Contact! quest.
 * The dungeon east of the Agility pyramid, which features in the Dealing with Scabaras quest.
 * The swamp area east of the Dealing with Scabaras dungeon. There is a fair-sized group congregating around a statue to the farthest east. Stay a few squares south of this statue to avoid needing water. The swamp turns to a desert there.
