The '''Giant Mole''' (''Talpidae wysonian'') is found in the [[Falador Mole Lair]], just under [[Falador Park]]. Upon release, on [[7 March]] [[2006]], "a slight accident involving a bottle of ''[[Malignius Mortifer|Malignius-Mortifer]]'s-Super-Ultra-Flora-Growth-Potion''" is the origin of the creation of the Giant mole.

Players will need both a [[spade]] and [[light source]] to access the location. Players are advised to be careful while fighting this [[monster]] as it may put out your light source. A [[Seer's Headband]] or Bullseye Lantern is strongly recommended. However a [[lantern]] and a tinderbox can also be used. To get into the lair you have to dig in any one of the 'mole hills' near [[Sir Tiffy Cashien]] in the Falador Garden.

Currently, the giant mole is the 9th highest level non-quest monster in Runescape. Players often kill the mole for its [[Mole claw]]s and [[Mole skin]], each of which [[Wyson the gardener]] will exchange for [[Bird's nest]]s, a valuable item that is often highly in demand by players training [[Herblore]].

One giant mole can be present per world. When killed, it will respawn in about 2 minutes (or 200 [[Game ticks]]). Players can use this respawn time to restore food and prayer from the previous fight.

==Giant mole strategies==
{{main|Giant Mole/Strategies}}
The giant mole is weak against [[Ranged]] and [[Stab]] attacks and it is also vulnerable to poison. Even though the mole is weak to stab and ranged attacks, most players use an [[Abyssal Whip]] or a dragon weapon as these provide sufficient damage. The mole, when poisoned, will surface to die and leave its drops so there is no risk of missing out on a drop. Sometimes when the mole digs it throws up balls of mud. The direction these go has nothing to do with the direction it will appear at when it surfaces.

One interesting thing to note is that despite it's high combat level, the mole is unaggressive, so if you are a lower level and are unsure about fighting it, you can feel free to observe other players fighting it.

==Drops==
Note that the Giant Mole's drops are fairly similar to that of the [[King Black Dragon]], although it does not drop the [[draconic visage]], [[dragon bones]], or [[black dragonhide]]. Also, the King Black Dragon drops 4 charms at a time as opposed to the Giant Mole's 2.

==Mechanics==
When the giant mole makes an escape, its animation hides the appearance of the mole until its dig-from-ground animation is played. The mole dust cloud and escape animation are played. Four [[Game ticks]] pass then the mole's location changes and plays its dig-from-ground animation.
