The Warped Gulega is a boss monster encountered on the Warped floors and also appears in the Fremennik saga, Thok It to 'Em. It requires a Dungeoneering level of 95 to encounter and fight on a normal dungeoneering run, however, one can fight it in Thok It To 'Em with 59 Dungeoneering. It is a predatory creature from the Gorajo plane, warped by the closeness to The Rift in the Warped floors; since the Gorajo have been fighting and hunting them for ages, they are able to inflict heavy damage on it with ease.
Strategy
The Warped Gulega is weak to slash attacks, so a battleaxe or two-handed sword would be the best option for killing it with melee. However, all damage caused by players to the Gulega is cut in half. On the other hand, Gorajo combat familiars hit at full strength and constantly, so bringing a familiar, preferably a Bloodrager, is extremely useful and will significantly reduce the length of the fight. Upon entering the boss room, a player with a bloodrager will comment and say that the Warped Gulega's head will make for a fine trophy.
The Warped Gulega has 4 attacks:
1. Tentacles will erupt from the ground, dealing melee damage to all players. This can be blocked by the Protect from Melee prayer. If you closely watch its bottom tentacles, they go into the ground when doing this attack.
2. A glowing ball will fly toward the player, dealing magic damage. This can be blocked by the Protect from Magic prayer. There is sufficient time to change protection prayers if one is very quick.
3. A translucent brown bolt that looks a bit like the effect of Soul Split will fly toward the player, dealing ranged damage. This can be blocked by the Protect from Missiles prayer. There is sufficient time to change protection prayers if one is very quick.
4. The Gulega smashes its arm directly into the ground, causing 4 tentacles to close in on the player it is facing. RUN AWAY FROM YOUR LOCATION IF YOU ARE TARGETED. If not, the attack will reduce your current LP to 1. This cannot be blocked and must be avoided. Alternatively, you may wish to use Vengeance and take the hit, inflicting large damage on the boss.
Note that Gulega is very similar to TzTok Jad, in that a player who is praying melee, and who rapidly switches to mage or range when appropriate, can completely protect themselves while killing the boss (except from its non-fatal 4-tentacle special attack). However, the time gap between the beginning of Gulega's animations and the time when its attack hits is significantly smaller than the time gap on Jad, making prayer-switching much more challenging.
How to take no damage while fighting Geluga
Keep the melee protection prayer on while fighting the boss, switch prayer to magic/ranged upon the Warped Gulega using those two styles. After the mage/ranged attack switch your prayer back to melee. If the Warped Gulega's special attack is used move at least 1 square away from where you're standing or move out of the way.You must use prayer throughout whole battle so having an altar (gated) and/or rejuvination potions will be useful.

Trivia
- The Warped gulega targets familiars as if they were players, thus making it the only Dungeoneering boss to target Summoning Familiars. This is because of the natural rivalry they share in their home plane.
- Warped Gulega's max hit special attack is similar to Nomad's attack. The Gulega also has maximum hit of your life points -1, but unlike Nomad, Warped Gulega will hit depending on your current lifepoints, while Nomad will always deal -1 of your maximum lifepoints.
- The Warped Gulega has a max hit of 1499, on Thok.
- The Warped Gulega is one of the few Dungeoneering bosses that is not immune to poison, along with the Unholy Cursebearer, Sagittare, Skeletal Horde and Blink.
