Pyrefiends are Slayer monsters that require level 30 Slayer to kill and are not to be confused with a pyrelord, a Summoning familiar. They are the weaker elemental cousin of the waterfiend but stronger than some icefiends, except the ones at Ghorrock Fortress. Also, they have very similar drops to those of lesser demons and harpie bug swarms and are notable for their relatively high drop rate for medium clue scrolls.

A variant of pyrefiends can be found in Soul Wars. These count for Slayer tasks.

Locations

Location	Levels	Members	Spawns	Map
Fremennik Slayer Dungeon	61, 67		13	Maplink
God Wars Dungeon	92		4	Maplink
Smoke Dungeon	61, 67		23	Maplink

Strengths and weaknesses

Despite their level, they have higher accuracy than many other monsters of a similar level, so food is recommended for lower levelled players. It is also recommended that either mage or range is used, since they have moderate melee defence due to being mage monsters.

Pyrefiends are weak against bolts. Use of the Defence abilities work well, especially Resonance. Note that a dwarf multicannon cannot be used in any of their locations except for the Smoke Dungeon.

Trivia

• The pyrefiends in the Soul Wars tutorial have a life point and are weak to crush. Nomad doesn't let players attack these though.
• Pyrefiends used to have significant stalling on their combat animations, causing them to appear in a different tile from where they actually were. This was reduced with their graphical update in 2014.
