'''Pyrefiends''' are [[Slayer]] monsters that require level 30 Slayer to kill and are not to be confused with a ''[[pyrelord]]'' - a [[summoning]] creature. They are the weaker elemental cousin of the [[Waterfiend]], but stronger than ''some'' [[Icefiend]]s except the ones at [[Ghorrock Fortress]]. Also, they have very similar drops to those of [[Lesser demons]] and [[Harpie Bug Swarm]]s, and are notable for their relatively high drop rate for [[Clue scroll (medium)|level 2 clue scrolls]]. The death animation of pyrefiends was greatly sped up as of [[9 November]] [[2009]] when they were removed from Ghorrock Fortress. Note several glitches occur when fighting pyrefiends such as drops showing up behind the player, combat taking place either in the same square as the player or with a one square gap between the player and the target while using melee attacks. However, these glitches do not affect the drops or combat.

==Locations==
*[[Fremennik Slayer Dungeon]] ([[Fairy ring]] code '''A-J-R''') (When entering the dungeon, there is a direct shortcut to them, that requires 81 Agility to jump across a chasm.)
*[[God Wars Dungeon]] (level 48)
*[[Soul Wars]] (activity)
*The dungeons of [[Daemonheim]] (any floors)
*They used to reside at [[Ghorrock Fortress]] alongside [[waterfiends]], but this was changed as of their 2009 death animation update.

==Strengths and weaknesses==

The Pyrefiend's attack is a [[magic-based melee]] attack. This means that its accuracy is based on your [[magic]] [[defence]], so it is highly recommended that you wear [[dragonhide]]s or other [[Ranged]] armour so you take little damage from them. Note that [[Protect from magic]] does not negate its attack but [[Protect from melee]] does, although in some cases, it can hit through your prayer (max of 22, so it halves all damage dealt to players). The level 43 pyrefiends can hit a max of 44 life points, and the level 48s can hit a max of 50. Despite their level, they have higher accuracy than many other monsters of a similar level, so food is recommended for lower levelled players. It is also recommended that you either [[Melee]] or [[Ranged|Range]] them.

Like most fire-based enemies, pyrefiends are vulnerable to water-based spells. If using melee, it appears stab attacks are more effective than slash attacks (this has been confirmed). It has been confirmed that killing pyrefiends in [[Soul Wars]] does in fact count towards the [[slayer assignment|slayer assignment's]] total kills. Note that you can not use a dwarf multi cannon while killing pyrefiends in the slayer dungeon.
