Catablepon are monsters that look like green bulls with reptilian tails. They are found on the third level of the Stronghold of Security (the Pit of Pestilience). They use the magic spell Weaken (which appears as a spraying white sparkle) to drain up to 15% of their opponent's maximum Strength level. Players with low Strength are not advised to train on these with melee, as Weaken can drain their Strength quite significantly, unless strength potions or restore potions are used. They can melee attack and cast Weaken at the same time. After the spell has decreased 8 strength levels, Catablepon will stop casting Weaken.

In the northwestern most room of the third level of the Stronghold of Security, there is a safe spot for using Magic, Ranged, or a halberd on level 76 Catablepon. The spot is to the immediate west of the square patch of tendrils by the skeletons on the western side of the room. Also in the same room, immediately after players walk in the southern door there is a safe spot in the bottom-most square. Another safe spot can be found in the room with the level 68 Catablepon. They will not cross into the darker shades of the floor in that room, staying in the lighter shades.
