Airut

The airut are a boar-like bipedal race who follow the similarly boar-like goddess Tuska. They typically live on Tuska's back, riding and controlling her with massive reigns. They were named after an ancient warrior by the Naragi when their homeworld was attacked by the Airut and Tuska.

They came to Gielinor via portals, signalling Tuska's upcoming return, and can be fought as level 92 Slayer monsters west of the Phoenix Lair in the Piscatoris Hunter area and in Kuradal's dungeon. They drop the level 90 melee power armour gloves, razorback gauntlets, as well as pieces of the tuska mask and Kaigi's journal.

Abilities
Airuts have access to two combat styles, melee and ranged, the style used depending on which stance they are in. When meleeing, they stand on their hind legs and attack by punching. When ranging, they stand on all-fours and spit corrosive bile at the player. Airuts always try to find the weakness of the player and use it to their advantage, just like Revenants. They will switch between combat styles if prompted to do so (e.g armour, protection prayers).

As their lifepoints are lowered, they will gain boosted Defence, meaning that a players attacks will become more inaccurate as the fight progresses.

Both of their attack styles deal moderate damage, but in either style the Airut can initiate a short berserk mode where they will deal inaccurate, but rapid and powerful damage to the player, continuing to use the same attack style as they were in at the time. An animation signals this: when ranging, the Airut will take one of its arms away from the ground and beat its chest, and when meleeing it will beat its chest with both arms.

This attack can be disabled via the use of the Rapid-Fire or Flurry threshold abilities, or by making the Airut move, usually by walking under it. After being hit by one of the aforementioned abilties, they will get stunned for six ticks and it will be shown with them trying to catch their breath. While they are stunned, successful hits dealt on them are doubled. Stunning does not work if they start attacking with their special attack.

Trivia

 * In Finnish, the word airut means 'harbinger'.
 * Despite their examine text, they are not aggressive.
 * Although Airuts have a respawn animation similar to that of a Gladius, they seem to appear for a split-second on the spot before the respawn animation goes into effect. This is most likely a glitch.
