A dark beast (elite) is an elite version of the dark beast. If on a Slayer assignment, an elite dark beast is guaranteed to spawn; otherwise, elite monsters have a spawn rate of 1 in 1,000. Elite spawn rates can be further increased with the use of fellstalk incense sticks and tier 3 luck.

Unlike its normal counterpart, the elite version can occasionally emit a large screech which sends their target fleeing 2-3 spaces away from it.

Names

The elite versions have varying names, with a randomly generated prefix and suffix.

Prefix	Dark beast	Suffix
Cruel		of Death
Dangerous		of Doom
Infamous		of Fear
Monstrous		of Pain
Notorious		of Peril
Powerful		of Suffering
