A Wall beast is a Slayer monster that requires level 35 Slayer to kill. On the other hand, they are good for training with a Spiny helmet. This monster is not very popular, due to the fact that its drops are poor with the exception of the Mystic hat. It is found only in the Lumbridge Swamp Caves.
This creature is infamous for surprising, and often killing, low-level players in the Lumbridge caves.
The creature's immunity to poison has been confirmed with the use of the Monster examine spell.

[edit] Appearance
When a wall beast attacks a player, only its arm is seen sticking out of the wall. However, in the July 2006 edition of Postbag from the Hedge a player asked for a picture of the wall beast's whole body[1].
The reply contained no words, only a picture of a grotesque green creature that presumably is the wall beast's true form. It has a somewhat humanoid Cyclopsean structure with atrophic legs (including toenails) but well-developed upper arms, consistent with its living environment. It also has a total of four body piercings in places that would be nipple piercings in humans, two in each side laterally. The abdomen includes a central feature that may be analogous to the navel in humans.
[edit] Lumbridge Swamp Caves
Players can find wall beasts in Lumbridge Swamp Caves. When walking past one without wearing a spiny helmet, there is a chance it will grab the player by the head and slam him or her against the wall. This will resulting in 11 to 16 Hitpoints being lost.
Nevertheless, even if the player forgets their spiny helmet, they may still avoid damage from these. Move to beside their opening and stop. Make sure run is on, and click beyond their opening. This will cause you to run by the hole in the wall through which they reach without receiving damage.
On another note, when slaying wall beasts, it is recommended that you only fight the wall beast closest to the main entrance of the Lumbridge Swamp Caves. When you climb down the rope, there will be a cave beast lurking in the wall just ahead of you. Walk over, trigger/kill it, then climb the rope out of the Caves. Once you re-surface, climb immediately back down the rope and re-enter the caves.
[edit] Strengths and weaknesses
Players should wear a spiny helmet whilst fighting wall beasts, otherwise they will grab them by the head and slam them against the wall, removing up to 16 hitpoints, although it is said that usually only 7 to 9 hitpoints are removed.
If players wear a spiny helmet, the grabbing attack will fail. Its maximum hit on a player wearing a spiny helmet is about 5.
A spiked helmet can be substituted for the spiny helmet or Slayer helmet.
[edit] Training tips
- Always remember to wear one of the helmets (listed above)
- Don't waste your time trying to poison them
- Remember to walk, not run. You will run right past them
- They have a respawn time just like all the other monsters in the game, so place yourself near two different holes
- They are located in the Lumbridge swamp caves so remember a light source
- Players may wish to bring an antipoison in case they accidentally encounter a cave slime which is poisonous (3)
- You may want to climb up the rope and back down as that can respawn the beast quicker than staying down and waiting
