Bandits are vicious thieves found in Pollnivneach, competing with the Menaphite gang. They require level 55 Thieving to pickpocket, making them higher than Bearded Pollnivnian bandits (45 Thieving) and their Bandit Camp brethren (53 Thieving).

They appear to be wielding a steel round shield and a steel scimitar.

Trivia

• When you have anything other than a blackjack equipped and attempt to knock out a bandit, your character says "I need a different weapon to do this. I want to knock them out, not kill them." This happens even if you use a rubber blackjack or aren't wielding anything at all.
