Tuska

Tuska is a boar-like goddess who was attacking the Naragi realm during the Naragi God Wars. She fought against Saradomin and eventually made him move to another realm due to the disruption she caused. Tuska is described as a mindless beast that has managed to attain a certain tier of godhood.

Since Tuska is a formidable foe, this attracted Skargaroth to hunt her down. He was a being that enjoys the thrills of the hunt and wants to take on more powerful opponents for sports. During a fight between Tuska and Skargaroth, Guthix used the elder god sword he had found to severely wound Tuska by stabbing her in the eye, making her completely blind. Tuska is still alive and currently ravaging dimensions.

Harbingers Of Tuska
Also known as the Airut, the Harbingers of Tuska herald Tuska's impending arrival on Gielinor. They are fierce creatures with a Slayer level of 92 and the ability to switch combat styles at a whim. They are located in Kuradal's Dungeon and the Phoenix's Lair.

The Coming Storm
It has been recently implied that Tuska will arrive on Gielinor at some point in the future. As stated by The RuneScape Team regarding the release of the Harbingers of Tusk, (players should) "Enjoy getting to grips with these porcine opponents. Fight hard and enjoy your rewards - but consider how you'll fare when Gielinor trembles under the tread of Tuska's mighty hooves."

Trivia

 * The word "Tuska" translates to "pain" or "agony" in Finnish. This, along with the association of a tusked, ravaging beast, were the inspiration for her name.
 * According to Guthix's memories, Tuska didn't care about being worshipped. Additionally, she is the only known god to be mindless, unintelligent and savage.
 * Tuska may be based on the Crommyonian Sow of Greek mythology. It was a massive flying pig who wreaked havoc and was the mother of the Calydonian boar.
