'''Damage cap''' is a mechanism of how damage dealt against certain monsters in a single [[hitsplat]] is limited. Monsters with a damage cap are quite rare, and most of them are high level [[bosses]], but there are exceptions. The capping effect is calculated after all other damage modifiers. Damage caps are usually most easily seen with [[Ruby bolts (e)]], as their random special effect, when activated always reduces the target's current [[life points]] by 20%.

It is believed that damage caps are made as damage control when a [[bug]] causes players to deal abnormal amounts of damage to the monsters in question.

For [[special attacks]] that hit multiple times, such as [[Dragon claws]]' ''Slice and dice'', the damage cap is applied separately to all the hits, making them more effective to deal damage than special attacks that does one high hit, such as [[Armadyl godsword]]'s ''The Judgement''.

The [[Corporeal Beast]] is thought to be the first creature to have a damage cap, though the juvinates in In Aid of Myreque have a damage cap as well, making them the first ever capped monsters.

The following monsters are known to have damage caps:

*[[Corporeal Beast]] - capped at 1000
*[[Vampyre Juvinate]]s during [[In Aid of the Myreque]] - capped at 100
*[[Pest Queen]] - capped at 450
*[[Nex]] - capped at 500
*[[Fumus]], [[Umbra]], [[Cruor]] and [[Glacies]] - capped at 600
*[[Sköll]] - capped at 600
*[[Hati]] - capped at 500
*[[Kal'Ger the Warmonger]] - capped at 500
*[[Nomad]] - capped at 750
*[[Sunfreet]] - capped at 500
*[[Queen Black Dragon]] - capped at 1000
*[[Apep]] and [[Heru]] - capped at 50
