'''Scabarites''' refers to any of the followers of [[Scabaras]], the God of the Scarabs. The Scabarites are fairly strong monsters, and can hit pretty hard. As they generally appear in multi-combat areas (sharing the same dungeon area), and have various combat styles, it can be fairly difficult to fight them even with protection prayers.

The various types of Scabarites:

*[[Locust lancer]]s
* [[Locust ranger]]s

* [[Locust rider]]s
* [[Scabaras lancer]]s
* [[Scabaras mage]]s
* [[Scabaras ranger]]s
* [[Scarab mage]]s
* [[High Priest of Scabaras]] - An NPC involved in the [[Dealing with Scabaras]] quest.
* [[Scarab larva]]e - Do not count for Scabarites [[Slayer]] tasks.
* [[Small scarab|Small Scarab]] - Count for Scabarites slayer tasks.
* [[Giant scarab (Dealing with Scabaras)]] - Unknown if it counts for Scabarites slayer tasks.
* [[Giant scarab (Contact!)]] - Unknown if it counts for Scabarites slayer tasks.
* [[Scabaras locust]]s - Do not count for Scabarites slayer tasks.
* [[Scarab swarm]]s - Encountered in [[Icthlarin's Little Helper]] and in the [[Pyramid Plunder]] activity.
* [[Pit scabarite]] - Encountered in the [[Love Story]] quest, and may be added to your [[player-owned house]] dungeon after the quest with 84 [[construction]]. These do NOT count towards slayer tasks.

==Slayer strategy==
*When given Scabarites as a [[Slayer]] task, any of the Scabarites listed above will count, except [[Scabaras locust]], [[Scarab larva]]e, and the [[High Priest of Scabaras]]. (It is unknown whether the quest-only giant scarabs count. It is reported that small scarabs do.)
*They are generally assigned to slayer tasks in fairly mediocre numbers ([[Duradel]] /[[Lapalok]] assigns between 40 and 79).
*Cannons could come in handy for those who can afford it, as most Scabarites are in multi-combat areas.
*Using full [[Barrows - guthan's set|Guthans]] is a reasonable slayer strategy.
*Scarabites occasionally drop Raw fish, which can be utilised with the [[Bunyip]].

*A fast method to finish a Scabarite task is to use the [[Dwarf multicannon]] and melee in the [[Sophanem Dungeon]]. These drop [[Charms]], unlike the Scabarites in the other locations, and often drop [[Crimson charm]]s. However, this method is not popular due to the high risks.

*Another fast method is by slaying the [[Small scarab|Small Scarabs]] in the bottom floor of the [[Uzer Mastaba]] pyramid after the [[Missing My Mummy]] quest.
**Quick access via Fairy ring '''D-L-Q '''then going to the bottom floor and pass through the cave-in on the eastern side.
**Easy to kill, as the [[Small scarab|Small Scarabs]] are level 41.
**Area is multi-combat, so cannons would be very efficient.

* In the swamp area east of the [[Agility Pyramid]]:
** Area is multi-combat.
** The monsters use both ranged and melee attacks.
** Stay in the place (as in the image) to make them non-aggressive in very short period of time.
** Do not leave the square.
** Stay south of the statue in swampy area to avoid the [[desert heat]] effect.
** Another Strategy is to trap the two meleers and use protect from ranged while between the two Rangers spawns.

* In the dungeon under [[Sophanem]]:
**Make sure to bring a lantern and [[Tinderbox]].
**Lower level of dungeon: [[Prayer potion]]s and high healing food are necessary as well as a [[Dwarf Cannon]]. After banking at [[Sophanem]], go down the ladder and head west past the [[Scabaras mage]]. Deactivate the nearby trap and go down the ladder. Run to the north-west ladder and go up. Run as far south as you can and take the ladder a little to the west. Set the cannon up in the middle of the room and pray [[Protect from Missiles]] since the [[Scabaras ranger]]s hit quite often. With this, Scabarite tasks take less than 10 minutes. If you have completed the seers diaries replace your lantern/tinderbox with the seers diary headband as it is a light source in itself, thereby rendering the attack that puts out your light source useless.
**Upper level of dungeon: Individual Scabaras mages and rangers patrol this level, so even though the level is multiway combat it is usually possible to fight just one Scabarite at a time. Also, a slain Scarabarite respawns quickly, so it is practical to stay in one spot and just slay the same one multiple times. Be careful of the traps on this level.

* In the Ullek dungeon:
**Don't wander into large caverns or you will be attacked by several Scabarites at the same time.
**Very often, only one of two Scabarites will wander off from the main caverns to passages, allowing to deal with them easily.
**Bring antipoison or [[Holy symbol]]/[[Prayer book]] since there are traps.
**Bring Relicym's balm or Super Restore since traps trigger [[disease]].

==Habitats==
*The [[Sophanem Dungeon]], which features in the [[Contact!]] quest.
* [[Ullek]] dungeon, which features in the [[Dealing with Scabaras]] quest.
* The swamp area east of the [[Dealing with Scabaras]] dungeon. There is a fair-sized group congregating around a statue to the farthest east. Stay a few squares south of this statue to avoid needing water. The swamp turns to a desert there.
