Revenant vampyres are a type of revenant, lost souls of vampyres that died in the God Wars. They deal significant damage in all styles of combat. Regardless of low combat level, these monsters hit up to 220, commonly 170-180. They detect your prayer type and use different attack styles according to the protection used; for example, if they detect Protect from Magic, they will discontinue using that attack for the duration the prayer is active.
Revenant vampyres restore their life points rapidly, and cure themselves of poison. Vampyre revenants always heal when their health falls below 300 LP, up to 20 times.
As of 1 February2011, revenants can no longer patrol the Wilderness freely. They are now only found within the Forinthry Dungeon, which is a PVP-enabled area. They used to have a longer respawn time than any other revenant in the Forinthry Dungeon. As of 22 July2014, the revenant vampyre's respawn time is the same as that of the other revenants in the Forinthry Dungeon
WARNING: The Forinthry Dungeon is a PVP-enabled area, meaning it is entirely possible for other players to attack you whilst fighting the revenants in the dungeon. Do not bring equipment that you are not willing to lose.
Revenant vampyres take the longest time to spawn of all revenants, even longer than revenant goblins. Although the revenant goblins respawn rate was drastically changed to meet that of other revenants' spawn rate, the revenant vampyre's spawn rate was not.
These monsters used to have the ability to inflict poison with their melee attacks on members' worlds (starting at 68 damage). This was removed in a hidden update.
