The Spined Larupia is a large type of feline-like animal found in the Hunter area south of the Feldip Hills. It somewhat resembles a leopard with spines on its back. Larupias are combat level 40 but non-attackable and are important in the Hunter skill.
Level 31 Hunter is required to hunt larupias, and they can be hunted using the pitfall trapping technique, giving 180 experience upon clearing the trap. Spined larupia fur can be used to make larupia hunter gear and Spirit larupia.
Players can make money by hunting larupia. If the player takes only the furs when banking and simply buries the big bones, there is a profit of around 35k per inventory, depending on how lucky the player is.
They can attack players, damaging up to 54, so it is better to be careful when hunting them.

Trivia
- They resemble the real life animal called a leopard (it does not resemble a cheetah like some people think as cheetahs spots are solid, and the Spined larupia has hollow spots, also known as rosettes).
- The armour made from the fur is not spotted like the larupia.
- When the player examines the larupia, it says "If you tried to ride that, you'd just impale yourself!". This is possibly a reference to the film "Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle" in which the main characters ride a cheetah.
