[[File:Mutated jad guard icon.png|left]]'''Mutated jadinko guards''' appear in the [[Jadinko Lair]] east of [[Shilo Village]], on [[Karamja]], and require a [[Slayer]] level of 86 to kill. They are popular for the [[whip vine]] drop, as they are the only monsters besides [[mutated jadinko male]]s to drop it. Using [[bolas]] on it will cause it to attack you with the nearest jade roots. Mutated jadinko guards are considerably more dangerous than their combat level suggests; having a max hit of 279, and 2030 hitpoints, a string of lucky hits can quickly kill a player. In addition, they will switch attack styles based on your protection prayers and are difficult to safespot, so it is nearly impossible to negate all damage. While their strength and health may be very high, they have somewhat low accuracy and defence, however.

Each one killed will yield 7 [[favour points]] with the [[jadinkos]].

==Attacks==
Mutated jadinko guards, along with males and babies, share a similar melee and magic attack. However a guard's melee attack is strong and occasionally hits above 200. Their magic attack is also high-hitting, but it doesn't hit often with even 95 magic defence bonuses. Using protection/deflection prayers will cause them to use the other attack they have to thwart prayer flashing on them. If players use Deflect/Protect from magic and they are unable to attack you, they will attempt a whip attack with nearby vines. but the vines hit extremely low, from 1-17. This attack is also triggered when a player targets a dreadnip to attack a mutated jadinko guard. They can bid multiple vines, along with males to attack you. So if a player were to stand near middle and there were 5 vines around him and the guard/male could not reach them, it will bid all five of them to attack the player at once, which is more dangerous than the standard attacks.

==Trivia==
*It is strange how they can drop Long bones and Curved bones since as Sentient plants they do not possess a skeleton and therefore have no bones to drop. They do not drop [[big bones]] as a 100% drop either but it's the case for all other creatures that drop Long bones and Curved bones.
*Their magic attacks, along with other mutated jadinkos, seem to be the equlivant of a Fire blast spell.
*If they manage to hit you with their magic attack, after the projectile reaches you, there's a one second delay before the damage shows up. It is unknown if it affects the babies or males, and might be an oversight from Jagex.
