Muncher
Muncher
Muncher is a level 90 non-player character (NPC) that can be found within the Chaos Tunnels, specifically near the end of the Dagannoth area. He plays a role in the Secrets of the North quest. Muncher is recognizable by his large, undead appearance, and is often referred to as a muncher due to his voracious appetite for adventurers.
Appearance
Muncher has a distinct and unsettling appearance, resembling a skeletal giant with sharp teeth and glowing red eyes. His body is covered in tattered rags that barely disguise his bony frame, and his long arms seem to be built for grasping and tearing, making him an intimidating sight for any player who encounters him.
Combat
Muncher is primarily a melee-based attacker, utilizing a series of powerful close-range attacks that can deal significant damage. With a combat level of 90, he has a variety of combat styles and attacks:
- Melee Attack: Muncher uses powerful melee strikes that can hit up to 20 damage per hit, making it imperative for players to keep their health high while in combat.
- Special Attack: Occasionally, Muncher performs a special attack where he lunges forward, dealing heavy damage and knocking players back if they are in close proximity.
Drops
Upon defeating Muncher, players may receive a variety of loot that enhances their gameplay experience. The possible drops include:
- Cursed Bones: A special type of bone that can be used for training Prayer or as an ingredient for other quests.
- Rare Equipment: Muncher has a chance to drop rare and valuable equipment pieces, which can range from weapons to armor.
- Miscellaneous Items: Players can also obtain crafting materials, potions, and food from Muncher’s loot table.
Interaction
Players cannot speak to Muncher as they can with other NPCs, and he will attack on sight as a hostile creature. It’s recommended that players come prepared with food and potions to help sustain combat against him. Engaging Muncher as part of the Secrets of the North quest is essential for players looking to advance the storyline.
Tips for Combat
To successfully defeat Muncher, consider the following strategies:
- Use Protect from Melee: Activating this prayer can significantly reduce the damage taken during combat.
- Ranged or Magic Attacks: Players may find it easier to engage Muncher from a distance to avoid his melee attacks.
- Bring High Food: Stock up on high-healing food to maintain health throughout the battle.
