Kalphites

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Kalphites are a species of monsters in RuneScape. They resemble scarab beetles and cockroaches and were created by the desert deity, Scabaras, when a few drops of his blood accidently dropped on some scarabs. See Gods for more info. Kalphites are led by a monarchy and their current leader is the deadly Kalphite Queen which, in scientific terms, is called a 'Pasha' . They can be found in the Kalphite Lair, which is located in the Kharidian Desert. Kalphites can also be given as a slayer task, any of the Kalphite varieties will count towards that. They have a range of levels depending on what types they are.

[edit] Keris

Keris, the sword which is given as a reward for completing Contact!, has a strong side-effect on kalphites. On a rare occasion, when fighting one, Keris will 'cut into a chink' of the kalphite's body and do triple the damage it would normally do. However, this is a very rare thing to happen, and since it only happens to one type of monster, different weapons are commonly preferred. Keris can also be poisoned, dealing out more damage.
