Demonic gorillas

The main source of zenyte shards, which become the best-in-slot rings, amulets and bracelets in the game.

MembersAdvancedLow riskHands-on

Demonic gorillas drop zenyte shards, which make the best rings, amulets, bracelets and necklaces in the game. There is no alternative source, and that single fact sets the whole rate.

They switch protection prayers in response to your attack style, so a single-style setup will stall against them. Carrying two styles and switching when they adapt is the entire skill of the fight.

They also switch their own attack style, which means you are switching prayers at the same time as switching weapons. It is one of the most attention-heavy methods on this site and it does not combine with anything else.

Monkey Madness II is the gate — a grandmaster quest with substantial requirements. As with Vorkath, the quest is the project and the gorillas are the payoff.
