[FAQ] • [doc]

The Grifolapine is a monster found in the Polypore Dungeon on the third level. It requires a Slayer level of 88 to kill, and 60 Magic for the player to receive as a Slayer assignment.

Strategy

The mushrooms on the platform can be used to hide behind to prevent toxic fungus damage. This monster attacks with magic most of the time, so Protect from Magic/Deflect Magic will prevent most damage dealt. When using Neem oil it will not attack with Magic anymore, but it will use its Ranged attack, hence using Protect from Missiles/Deflect Missiles can be used. It is resistant to Ranged and Melee damage, so Magic would be the ideal method of attacking these creatures. Unusually, these monsters only move in combat, and even then only when charging at the player. Sprinkling neem oil on it while it is charging will prevent it from using its rapid-hitting poison attack, which will hit multiple 12s in quick succession. The player sprinkles the neem oil by clicking on the jug of neem oil in the inventory. The nearest monster in the dungeon will be sprinkled, which may or may not be the one you want to attack. However, sprinkling neem oil on a monster does not make it aggressive, nor do you have to attack it. If the Grifolapine you are attacking has previously been sprinkled and has not yet recovered from it, an additional sprinkling will not target that monster but instead cause the player to run to another monster and sprinkle it.

Part way through combat, when the player is using an obstruction to prevent the Grifolapine from rushing and using its toxic fungus attack, it will move at an angle to one side or the other of the obstruction. This often allows it to move around the obstruction and close on the player, releasing its toxic fungus.

Trivia

• When the Grifolapine rushes at a player, it exclaims "Raargh!", but if the player is behind an object, such as a fungal growth, it will say "* sigh *" and resume ranged and magic attacks.
• If it is sprinkled with neem oil, the Grifolapine hisses "Ssss!"
• It appears to be based on a porcupine.
