Dark Beast

Dark beasts are level 182 monsters that require a Slayer level of 90 kill. Dark beasts are the only droppers of death talismans. Other valuable drops include rune weapons and armor as well as runes and herbs. A dark beast can attack using Magic or Melee, but it only uses magic if the player initiates combat against the beast or moves away from the beast so that it cannot melee the player. If the beast initiates combat, it only uses melee as long as the player remains in melee range.

Since dark beasts are always aggressive regardless of how long the player has been present, players can avoid the magic attacks simply by having Auto Retaliate activated and allowing the dark beasts to initiate combat. This allows players to safely kill dark beasts through use of the Protect from Melee Prayer. Alternatively, a player can move to a safe spot where they can mage or range the Dark Beasts, though they are weaker to ranged style attacks.

There is also a rune rock mining location in the Dark Beasts' cave, though it is admittedly hard to acces due to the Dark Beasts encircling it.
