: ''This article discusses what certain creatures always drop; perhaps you meant to search for [[drops]]?''

'''Remains''' are items dropped by creatures upon their death. They are dropped 100 percent of the time, and include both monsters and players. The type of remains dropped by a creature depends upon the physical characteristics of the creature.

== Creatures with bone remains ==
[[File:Babydragon bones detail.png|thumb|left|100px]]
Many living and undead creatures drop bones of different kinds, such as regular [[Bones]], [[Big bones]], and [[Dragon bones]]. Creatures that drop bones include mammals (such as [[Human]]s), birds (such as [[Chicken]]s), reptiles (such as [[Snake]]s), and amphibians (such as [[Frog]]s).

Most humanoid giants drop big bones, even if they might be considered in other categories of creatures. For example, many fire-based creatures drop ashes, but [[Fire giant]]s drop big bones.

Creatures derived from those dropping bones commonly drop bones as well. These include [[Zombie]]s, [[Undead chicken]]s, [[Undead cow]]s, [[Crawling Hand]]s, [[Skeletal hand]]s, and [[Zombie hand]]s. Other creatures in this category have altered remains or no remains at all. For example, many ghostly creatures, including [[Ghost (monster)|ghosts]] and [[Revenants]], do not have any remains and the Shades of Mort'ton have remains named specifically after them.

Semi-humanoid [[Scabarites]] drop bones, even though their insect-like appearance suggests an exoskeleton rather than an internal skeleton.

[[Giant Rock Crab]]s drop bones, even though other exoskeleton-based creatures do not, including regular [[Rock crab]]s.

[[Ankou]]s, as a cross between ghosts and skeletons, drop bones, unlike most ghostly creatures which have no remains.

Various creatures drop bones that are characteristic of that creature:
* [[Jogre]]s drop [[Jogre bones]].
* [[Monkey]]s drop [[Monkey bones]].
* [[Monkey Guard]]s drop [[Monkey bones (large)]].
* [[Zombie monkey]]s drop [[Monkey bones (Zombie)]].
* [[Wolf|Wolves]] drop [[Wolf bones]] on members' worlds. (On free worlds, they drop ordinary bones, even if killed by members.)
* [[Bat]]s, [[Albino Bat]]s, and [[Giant bat]]s drop [[Bat bones]].
* [[Zogre]]s and [[Skogre]]s drop [[Zogre bones]].
* [[The Shaikahan]] drops [[Shaikahan bones]].
* Adult [[Chromatic dragons]] and [[Metal dragons]] drop [[Dragon bones]].
* Baby chromatic dragons drop [[Babydragon bones]].
* [[Ourg]]s drop [[Ourg bones]]. (Although few ourgs can be found at present, [[General Graardor]] is an ourg, and [[Slash Bash]] might be an undead ourg.)
* [[Skeletal Wyvern]]s drop [[Wyvern bones]].
* [[Dagannoth Rex]], [[Dagannoth Prime]], and [[Dagannoth Supreme]] drop [[Dagannoth bones]]. (Other [[Dagannoth]] drop ordinary bones.)
* For some reason, all creatures in the [[Lumbridge catacombs]] drop bones, even if they are creatures without skeletons such as Warped flies or warped cockroaches.

== Creatures with ash remains ==
[[File:Ashes.png|left]]
Most [[demon]]ic creatures drop [[Demon ashes|ashes]]. Indeed, a drop of ashes is the best sign that the creature a player just fought was a demon, whether it was an [[Imp]] or the mighty [[K'ril Tsutsaroth]]. The [[Revenant demon]] is a ghostly creature and does not have remains.

Many non-demonic, fire-based creatures drop ashes, such as [[Fire Elemental]]s. ([[Fire giant]]s, however, drop big bones.) At least some energy-based creatures also drop ashes, such as [[Killerwatt]]s.

Creatures that inhabit the [[Abyssal]] and [[Abyssal Area]] drop ashes: [[Abyssal leech]]es, [[Abyssal guardian]]s, [[Abyssal walker]]s, and [[Abyssal demon]]s.

[[Zygomite]]s, a mutated fungus found in [[Zanaris]], drop ashes.

Although most humans drop bones, the [[Air wizard]], [[Fire wizard]], [[Earth wizard]], and [[Water wizard]] all drop ashes.

== Creatures without remains ==
Most creatures with exoskeletons do not have remains. This includes spiders (such as [[Deadly red spider]]s), insects (such as [[Giant ant worker]]s and [[Cave bug]]s), [[Flesh crawler]]s, all [[Kalphites]], and so on. (Technically, it includes most or all arthropods, such as insects, arachnids, etc.) Some exceptions are:
* [[Jungle spider]]s on [[Karamja]] drop [[Spider carcass]]es. A carcass can be cooked to become a [[Spider on stick]], a food item, so spider carcasses can be considered a food source like raw fish or raw meat rather than remains.
* Many [[Scabarites]], despite their insectoid appearance, drop bones (see [[#Creatures with bone remains|Creatures with bone remains]] above) while some have no remains.
* Giant rock crabs drop bones.

Most (if not, all) fleshy, slug-like creatures do not have remains, like [[Cave crawler]]s and [[Rockslug]]s.

Water- or ice-based creatures typically do not drop remains. This includes [[Ice warrior]]s and [[Icefiend]]s. ([[Ice giant]]s, however, drop big bones.)

[[Vampyre juvenile]]s and [[Vampyre juvinate]]s in effect do not have remains. They can die when a [[Guthix balance potion]] is used on them at the right time, leaving no remains. (The potion can also cure the vampyre, returning it to human form, or anger it, making it a stronger vampyre that still has no remains). If a potion is not used on a vampyre, when it takes sufficient damage it will turn into a cloud of mist and escape.

Most ghostly creatures do not have remains, such as [[Ghost (monster)|Ghosts]], [[Banshee]]s, [[Aberrant spectre]]s, [[Shadow warrior]]s, etc. Shades, however, do have remains (see [[#Creatures with other remains|Creatures with other remains]] below), and [[ankou]]s drop bones (as noted above).

No [[TzHaar]] creatures have remains.

Insects including: [[Locust lancer]]s, [[Locust ranger]]s, [[Locust rider]]s, [[Scabaras lancer]]s, [[Scabaras locust]]s, [[Scabaras mage]]s, and [[Scabaras ranger]]s have no remain drops. ([[Insectoid Assassin]]s in the [[Smoking Kills]] quest are Scabarites but are reported to drop nothing. The assassins were converted from following [[Scabaras]] to obeying [[Amascut]].) Insectoid Scabarites ([[Small scarab]]s,[[Scarab swarm| Scarab swarms]], the Giant scarab from [[Giant scarab (Contact!)|Contact!]] and [[Giant scarab (Dealing with Scabaras)|Dealing with Scabaras]]) have no remains.

Other creatures without remains:
* [[Jelly|Jellies]], gelatinous [[Slayer]] creatures.
* [[Gargoyle]]s. These are slayer monsters killed with a [[Rock hammer]] and apparently disintegrate totally when slain.
* [[Wall beast]]s. Their appearance suggests they should drop bones. Since the bulk of their bodies are hidden behind walls, it may be that their remains would not be accessible to players.

== Creatures with other remains ==

[[File:Vyre corpse 1.png|right]]
*[[Vampyre]]s drop [[Vampyre dust]].
*[[Vyrewatch]], [[Vyrelord]]s and [[Vyreladies]] all drop [[Vyre corpse]]s.
*Shade creatures drop remains. [[Loar shade]]s drop [[Loar remains]], [[Asyn shade]]s drop [[Asyn remains]], and so on for [[Phrin shade]]s, [[Fiyr shade]]s, and [[Riyl shade]]s.
*Metal dragons drop several bars of their metal, in addition to dropping dragon bones.
*[[Aviansie]]s drop [[Feather]]s in addition to bones.
*[[Baby tanglefoot|Baby tanglefeet]] drop [[Leaves]].
*Almost all snails, such as [[Myre blamish snail]]s or [[Giant Snail]]s, always drop shells. However, the [[Ravenous snail]], which was released when [[Slayer/Challenges|Slayer Challenges]] were released, does not.
*[[Jungle spider]]s drop [[Spider carcass]]es, as noted above.
*[[Living rock creature]]s drop [[Living rock remains]]. However, these must be mined to be obtained.
*[[Swamp Snake]]s encountered in the [[Temple Trekking]]/Burgh de Rott minigame usually drop 'dead swamp snakes' as remains, from which players can obtain swamp [[Snake hide (swamp)|snake hides]]. If the player's follower in the activity becomes involved in combat with a swamp snake, the snake may drop regular bones instead, even if the player kills the snake.
*[[Monkey (monster)|Monkey]] on the island of [[Karamja]] drop [[Monkey corpse]]s during and after the quest [[Tai Bwo Wannai Trio]] instead of [[Monkey bones]].

== Trivia ==

[[File:Empty oyster.png|right]]
* An [[Oyster]] is an item you obtain from fishing, not a creature you can fight. You can, however, end up with an [[Empty oyster]] from it, which could be considered to be a form of remains.
* [[Bloodveld]]s are demons by definition of [[Slayer Master]]s (and are confirmed as such because of their weakness to Silverlight and Darklight), but they drop bones, not ashes.
* During the [[Rum Deal]] quest only, a [[Fever Spider]] will drop a [[Fever spider body]], an ingredient used in making [[Captain Braindeath]]'s 'rum'. Also during this quest, the player will fight an [[Evil Spirit]], which drops ashes despite seeming to be a ghostly creature.
* As mentioned above, [[Giant Rock Crab]]s drop bones, even though other exoskeleton-based creatures do not, including regular [[Rock crab]]s. This might be a mistake by Jagex, or there may be some unknown, physical or magical reason for their having bones.
* Some creatures occasionally drop multiple bones, like bloodvelds which occasionally can drop several bones and big bones, even though they always at least just drop one set of bones. In these cases, it can be regarded that the creature was 'carrying' the extra bones, just like the other, non-bone items it may drop when killed.
* [[Fayrg]]s and [[Raurg]]s presumably dropped [[Fayrg bones]] and [[Raurg bones]], as these bones can be found in [[Ogre coffin]]s at [[Jiggig]]. Neither creature has been seen in recent ages and are generally believed to be extinct followers of [[Bandos]].
