Chaos Elemental

The Chaos Elemental has a combat level of 138 and 10000 life points. It used to be the strongest monster in the Wilderness, overtaking the King Black Dragon, which held the title for 4 years. The Chaos Elemental held the title for another 2 years and 7 months before the introduction of the Corporeal Beast. It is currently the most powerful non-quest monster in the Wilderness.

The Chaos Elemental is almost always hunted in groups because of its dangerous location. It is coveted for the dragon 2h sword it drops, which sells for 0 coins. It can also drop Ancient Warrior's equipment and ancient artefacts, which can sell anywhere from 5000 to 5 million coins. However, the rate of the PvP items and artefacts is much rarer than when killing Revenants.

On 1 February 2011, the Chaos Elemental received a graphical update. Prior to this update, it resembled a dark cloud with six tentacles and a lavender tint.

The Chaos Elemental is a superb choice of farming Chaos runes, as it drops the highest amount of them out of any monster in RuneScape.

Location
The Chaos Elemental dwells in the members-only section of the Wilderness, just west of the Rogue's Castle. This area is moderately easy to access from the deep Wilderness teleport lever in Ardougne or Edgeville. A Wilderness Obelisk can randomly teleport players southeast of the Rogue's Castle.

Attacks


The Chaos Elemental's primary attack, a magic attack, is a series of different colours fired at the target. It also has a ranged attack and a far reaching melee attack that look exactly the same. They hit a maximum of 284, but it is still suggested that you use Protect from Magic to reduce the chance of being hit, as it uses its magic attacks most frequently.

It also has two special attacks. The first one teleports players a short space or several spaces away from it. The second attack unequips items that players are wielding, forcing them to take time to re-equip their armour and weapons before continuing the battle. Its attacks will continue to follow the player until impact and can travel through walls.

Drops
As of 1 February 2011, the drops from the Chaos Elemental have been improved, as it now drops Ancient Warriors' Equipment, Ancient artefacts and Brawling gloves in addition to previous drops.

Letters
The Chaos Elemental's letters in Postbag from the hedge hint at forthcoming updates, in a rather cryptic manner.

Trivia

 * It is the only major "boss" monster that does not exist in its own "area" or "arena" (Dagannoth kings live in their cave, Kalphite Queen lives in her lair, etc.). Though, the Wilderness could be viewed as quite chaotic at times.
 * The examine information of the Chaos Elemental, pUre A cHaOs of crEatuRe!, reflects its chaotic nature. A grammatically correct examine would be "A creature of pure chaos." The chaotic nature of the examine text is also symbolised by the alternating between upper and lower case.
 * In Postbag from the Hedge #39, Reldo states that the Chaos Elemental is related to the Balance Elemental by some means.
 * In Postbag from the Hedge #41, Postie Pete went through the Chaos Elemental's suitcase and found it to be full of paper. He had previously asked the elemental's actual name, and although the Chaos Elemental teleported, the words on the scraps of paper either underlined or circle with red spell the phrase 'Is Eondethwleaos' when reversed.
 * After killing the Chaos Elemental, your adventurer's log will say "I killed the cHaOs EleMeNTal." Which is like the examine text, as it alternates between upper and lower case. After Jagex's Runescape website was updated, this was no longer visible. However, due to a hidden update, it is now possible to view one's adventurer's log.
 * The Chaos Elemental has a skeleton-like ribcage and four skeletal-like arms, which it uses for attacking.
 * Killing more then one Chaos elemental will result in the Adventurer's log saying "I killed # cHaOs EleMeNTalS."
 * Despite this, if you look, it will say "I killed 14 Chaos Elementals." This may be an oversight for Jagex.
 * The Chaos Elemental is not killed often because of the difficulty of it, the slow respawn rate, random drops and it's dangerous multi-combat area (both PKers and the elemental will attack, making it a lethal combo)
 * When the Chaos Elemental is defeated, it freezes up (stops moving) for a second or so before blowing up. This might be a glitch as other monsters do not pause up before dying unless you were to attack them after they stopped attacking you.
 * The Chaos Elemental has unusual drops for its level, as it drops items such as various bones, food and equipment.
 * The Chaos Elemental can use melee attacks at a distance. It is unknown if it was intended or not.
 * The best drop you could get from the Chaos Elemental was a Dragon 2h sword until the Wilderness Graphical update, which allowed it to drop PvP armours and weapons. The current best drop you can get now is Vesta's longsword (though the chances are extremely rare)
 * The Chaos Elemental used to have a very slow spawn rate (about 4-5 minutes per spawn), but after the Evolution of Combat update, it respawns somewhat faster than before (about 2-3 minutes).
 * Despite being able to drop the PvP armours and weapons, it seems as though most revenants have a better chance of dropping artefacts and PvP equipment than the Chaos Elemental.
 * Outside near the border of the wilderness, you can see signs and some have the words BEWARE on them with a picture of a circle with 2 lines on top on each side, this could be a small drawing of the original Chaos Elemental's look: A cloud with tentacles on top.
 * Currently, this monster holds the record for having the largest drop table, with 128 different items, not counting different quantities or the rare drop table.
