Cave bugs can be assigned as Slayer assignments, and require level 7 Slayer to kill. Bring food if you are below level 20, as they regenerate quickly.

Rare drop table dropsEdit

This monster drops items from the rare drop table.
The ring of wealth improves the chances if equipped but is not required to access the table.

TriviaEdit

• Although this moster appears on F2P worlds in the Taverley Slayer Dungeon, it cannot be killed because it requires a slayer level of 7, while free players can only reach level 5.
• The level 6 version can restore up to 30 life points in between attacks.
• This is the second highest level monster to drop a level 1 clue scroll, at level 96. Orks drop level 1 clue scrolls as well.
• When you kill the level 96 version, their legs fall apart, and they explode. The explosion deals no damage so you can see it up close.
