The Aquanite is a Slayer monster that requires a Slayer level of 78 to kill and was announced by Jagex in a Guaranteed Content poll on 17 June 2009 and subsequently released on 28 July 2009. The poll asked players which name for the new monster they preferred: Aquanite, Gilidrixon, Amphibrath, Lanterwyn, or Anglibian. All of the names were suggested by players on the RuneScape Forums thread "Name A Slayer Creature" in "Suggestions - Monster and NPC". The name Aquanite won the Guaranteed Content Poll over Gilidrixon by 159 votes.

HabitatEdit

The Aquanites are located past the Kurasks at the very end of the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon. While there are no requirements to get there, the travel time can be reduced with 81 Agility (boostable).

The route, in conjunction with a ring of slaying, is to teleport directly to the Relleka dungeon and simply run using both Agility shortcuts.

There is another, faster way for those without 81 Agility. Using a ring of slaying to teleport to Sumona, players run down the Desert Slayer Dungeon into either the Kurask or Turoth rooms, and use the portal, making players have a little walk to their lair. Otherwise, if players do not want to waste points for buying/making a ring of slaying, the Bandit Camp's lodestone or the Al-Kharid lodestone will suffice enough.

Using the Bandit camp lodestone, players will run east to the Desert Slayer Dungeon, or if needed, go down the Smokey Well to avoid unnesscary desert heat damage. If using the Al-Kharid lodestone, stock up at the Shantay pass, and bring either 205-400 coins and head to Pollnivneach.

With the new release of the slayer masks on the Squeal of Fortune, some players who recieved the Mask of the Kura may simply use that to teleport to the Kurasks in the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon and run to the Aquanites from there.

TriviaEdit

• The examine is a reference to a line that Dory said in the movie Finding Nemo.
• The new item that came out along with Aquanite was the Amulet of ranging which increases range attack and magic defence bonuses by a moderate amount.
• Previously, Kuradal could not assign Aquanites as a task. However, with the Shattered Heart update on 3 March 2010, the ability to be assigned Aquanites can be purchased for 50 Slayer points. Once unlocked, they cannot be removed from the assignments list except through the use of using one of the cancellation slots.
• It has duck-like webbed feet, a bioluminescent light hanging from its forehead like that of an angler fish, and a head with whiskers like a catfish. This monster, therefore, seems to be a mixture of several different real life animals (a cat fish (head), an anglerfish (the "lantern" on his head), and maybe a frog (paws), a lizard (skin)).
• This is one of the few higher-levelled Slayer monsters that do not have access to the Rare drop table.
• In a hidden update in February, Jagex increased the defence of Aquanite because "Too many low-levelled players can kill them very easily".
