Cave crawlers are Slayer monsters that require level 10 Slayer to kill. They drop a variety of Herblore related items and seeds. They are poisonous and have a fast healing rate (approximately 10 life points per second). Level 78 cave crawlers have a much higher chance of dropping herbs and seeds than the level 53 and 74.
Cave crawlers are a popular delicacy amongst the Dorgeshuun cave goblins, who cut them into fillets and serve them on a large platter. Consequently, they are weak to all Bone weapons, including zanik's crossbow, which makes short work of most assignments.
In the quest Fur 'n Seek, a cave crawler skin must be collected and cleaned for the Odd Old Man.

Strengths and weaknesses[edit | edit source]
The level 53 crawlers, compared to other similarly-levelled monsters, are relatively weak and should only require a few mid-level food such as swordfish or beltfish. With a high enough Defence level if an antipoison is consumed immediately upon being poisoned. The level 74 and 78 crawlers are a tougher challenge and will likely require additional food or healing methods. Cave crawlers are great temporary training for mid-to high-level melee players. Due to their fairly low defence, tier 50 gear and level 60 combat stats will suffice for Slayer tasks or training.
Cave crawlers poison fairly often with their ranged attacks so it is advised to bring antipoison when fighting them, or prevent being poisoned (for some time) using a super antipoison or using the Oo'glog thermal bath prior to engaging in combat. The poison purge aura also works. Their poison is not much of a threat at higher levels, and can be offset with good food or healing abilities. However, lower level players are suggested to bring at least one method of poison mitigation, as it can be deadly if not paid attention to. Due to their high accuracy, complete mitigation of damage at lower levels is unlikely.
Level 74 and 78 cave crawlers drop all of the required components for many potions such as prayer potion (Vial of water, ranarr and snape grass) at a fairly regular rate, allowing players to stay in the area for longer. They also drop all the ingredients for both antipoison and super antipoison which is very handy considering the accuracy of their attacks, and therefore the frequency at which they cause poison and wear away anti-poison timers. Some other useful potions made from their drops are restore potions, strength potion, super strength potion, super attack potion, prayer potion and super defence potion.
