Living rock patriarchs are huge creatures that randomly spawn in the Living Rock Caverns. When a patriarch appears, any player around the area can attack it, but only the first player who fights it can tag it to get its drops. Protect from Melee is recommended, but they are not very powerful for their combat level and a high-levelled player with good armour can easily kill it without any food or prayer. When slain, the patriarch always drops its entire drop table (which consists of four unique items in various quantities) at once. This drop is quite valuable, so whenever a player sees one, he or she should attack it as quickly as possible.

Despite common belief, their spawn is not triggered by killing living rock creatures, but rather the number of people in the world. They spawn erratically every 2 hours, tending to appear in the south-west, south-east, and north-east corners of the cavern.

The living rock patriarch's guaranteed drops are worth a total of &0000000000144077000000 144,077 coins and are listed below.
