Infobox • Talk page

Ripper Demons are Slayer monsters that can be found in a cave under the Abbey of St. Elspeth Citharede and in the Wilderness, scattered mostly across level 40+ Wilderness. They require level 96 Slayer to be killed. They are Chthonian demons and are affected by Silverlight and Darklight, as well as the Demon Slayer perk. When killing Ripper Demons, an elite version called Slasher Demon may spawn (guaranteed while on a Slayer assignment), which can be further increased with the use of fellstalk incense sticks and tier 3 luck.

The appearance of Ripper Demons in the Abbey is explained through a series of journals left behind by a miner prior to their conversion into a Ripper Demon. These lore books are required for the master quest cape.

During the You Are It quest, the double agent took the form of a ripper demon wearing his hat and surrounded the player with other ripper demons in Duke Horacio's room in Lumbridge Castle.

Trivia

• There is a glitch where after using their special attack, if the player has a non-combatant familiar, they will get a message the familiar only attacks in self-defence, even if the player did not order the familiar to attack the demon.
• Using the Oldak coil as well as the best weapons/armour/potions/etc. while running in a circle, players can earn up to 1,130,000 Slayer experience per hour at Ripper Demons.
• As of 1 February 2018, the highest kill count for these monsters was 13,763 kills.
  • This had increased to 13,840 by 6 May 2018.
• They are the only Raptor mob that are unaffected by stuns.
• If the demon engages in combat without the adrenaline bar, the instant-kill mechanic and slaughter ability are disabled. The demon will also walk towards the target rather than teleporting to them.
