A ganodermic beast affected by neem oil

Ganodermic beasts are monsters requiring a Slayer level of 95 to kill. They are found at the bottom of the Polypore Dungeon, or second to bottom floor if the player has 73 Agility. Players cannot receive this as a slayer task if their magic level is below 60.

They are very good droppers of seeds, the only droppers of the Polypore stick, and along with the Ganodermic runts, able to drop Ganodermic flakes.

Trivia

  • This monster has the highest Slayer requirement outside of Dungeoneering, breaking the previous record holder, ice strykewyrms.
  • When the Ganodermic beasts were released in November 2011, you could easily make over 15 million coins per hour killing them. After an initial correction in prices one can still make 1.5-2.5M per hour from flake and seed drops.
  • When they attack, the largest four orange circles on its back disappear. Their attack also seems to go in an arc, similar to most of the monsters in Polypore Dungeon.
  • Sometimes when cannoning Ganodermic beasts, they will attempt to get close to the player. However, there are cases when they may be unable to move from a invisible boundary, despite having a long wander/aggression range. This might be a glitch. It happens while in the single area of Ganodermic beasts as well.
  • If a Ganodermic beast is attacked, but the player is not within the minimap range of the beast, they will do nothing, even if they are attacked again. The same also appears to happen with the Ganodermic runts and may be a glitch.
