This guide will show you all the magical weapons in Runescape which will improve your magic attack. Magic is good against monsters or players who are wearing melee armor such as chainmails and platemails. Contents: Elemental/magic staves God staves Slayer staff Magic wands Miscellaneous staves Elemental/magic staves: Elemental staves are very useful because once wielded. The type of staff you wield represents what rune you do not need, therefore you can save more money. Elemental staves are commonly used for low-level Player-Killing, free servers Player-Killing and training. Battlestaves can be crafted by members with certain crafting and magic levels. They are generally more powerful in terms of melee stats such as crush attack and strength. Mystic staves are obtained by upgrading your battlestaves with Thormac the Sorcerer after completing the “Scorpion Catcher” quest and 40,000 gold pieces.

List of miscellaneous staves: Ahrim’s staff [+15 Magic] Toktz-mej-tal [+15 Magic] Ancient staff [+15 Magic] Dramen staff [+10 Magic] Iban staff [+10 Magic] Slayer Locations Slayer is a members only skill that sends you out to kill a certain number of creatures your Slayer Master assigns you. The difficulty of the creatures you must kill depends on the Slayer Master. With this skill you unlock the ability to kill Slayer creatures, who commonly drop more valuable items. When you are sent to kill any regular type of monster and aren’t sure where to find it, check RuneHQ’s Monster Database. However, there are 5 sites with a concentration of the Slayer Masters’ favorite monsters, which are also listed in the Slayer Creatures Table above. Located northwest of Canifis is the Slayer Tower. This place houses Abyssal demons and other slayer creatures. it contains the darker of the slayer creatures who, appropriately, may drop black/red mystic pieces. The Priest in Peril quest is needed to access it. It is roughly northwest of Canifis and is organized much like the slayer dungeon except of course there are floors instead of hallways separating the monsters. There are also two agility shortcuts to allow quick travel between floors. Monsters here start at crawling hands and banshees on the bottom floor and end with nechyraels and abyssal demons on the top floor. The Lumbridge Swamp Dungeon is located in Lumbridge Swamps, far southeast of Draynor Village. No light sources or ropes are necessary. It is besically a long winding path with big rooms at regular intervals, each room contains a different type of slayer monster. It starts with cave crawlers and gradually processes to kurasks in order of increasing slayer level needed to kill the monsters. Two agility shortcuts allow quick travel through the dungeon. Some of the slayer monsters here drop white/gold mystic robe pieces. It helps to use the bank in Keldagrim instead of the one in Seer’s Village, it saves a tiny bit of time. Near the Golden Apple Tree in the Fremennik Province resides the entrance to the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon. The Dorgesh-Kaan South Dungeon lies deep beneath the Dorgesh-Kaan city. This dungeon leads to the Kalphite Lair. Upon completion of the Smoking Kills quest you unlock the access to the Desert Slayer Dungeon. How to Train Slayer skill Runescape Special Monster Slaying Equipment Slayer Masters Slayer is a members-only skill which allows players to kill special monsters which have better drops than ordinary creatures and cannot be harmed by players who do not have the required slayer level. Some of these slayer monsters require special equipment to kill and will either start doing large amounts of damage or refuse to die if the player is not using it. This skill is taught by five slayer masters around the RuneScape world who give players assignments for killing certain numbers of monsters. After completing an assignment, the player must return to a slayer master who will then assign them a new task. If either ordinary or slayer monsters are killed without getting an assignment for them first, the player will not receive slayer experience for killing them. The Burthorpe slayer master is the easiest and the Shilo Village slayer master the hardest. If you get an assignment you don’t like, you can go to the master in Burthorpe to get an easier one. You can’t change an assignment you get from the Burthorpe master though, so it’s not possible to keep changing until you get one you like. Each slayer master has his/her own selection of monsters to give as assignment. Higher masters give more and harder monsters. The slayer masters will assign you either normal monsters to kill or special slayer creatures The five slayer masters cater to players of different combat levels, when players start training, they will have to beg one of the masters to teach them. After this they are given a “slayer crystal” which allows them to contact the slayer master who is best suited for their combat skills. Slayer masters can be located by a yellow skull icon that appears on the map. These are the slayer masters from easiest to most difficult: Turael, location: Burthrope – The easiest of the masters, players of any combat level may approach him. He assigns small numbers of low level monsters. Very few players every get assignments from him as most will wait until they have a relatively high combat before starting the slayer skill. Mazchna, location: The bridge between Canafis and the haunted woods – Low to medium level players favour him. He assigns larger numbers of low level monsters and occasionally small numbers of more difficult creatures. He is useful because a lot of his assignments such as crawling hands or vampires can be completed close to him, allowing players to get a new assignment very quickly. The Priest in Peril quest is needed to reach him. Vannaka, location: Edgeville dungeon at the Wilderness gate (not in the Wilderness though) – He is a strong favourite among most players, he assigns large numbers of medium to hard monsters. His assignments are virtually always possible to complete with a little effort. Chaeldar, location: Zanaris at the fairy queen’s court – She requires players to have a combat level of 70 before she deals with them. Sometimes referred to as “the crazy master,” she may give large numbers of madium-hard creatures on a regular basis. Some regular assignments from her would be around 200 trolls or blue dragons. Some higher levels who get bored with Vannaka go to her, but many don’t like what they get. The Lost City quest is needed for access to Zanaris. Duradel, location: Shilo Village on the top floor of one of the houses – He requires a combat level of 100, and for a very good reason. Virtually all of his assignments are dragons or metal dragons. Only a few very daring high level players ever get assignments from him. The Shilo Village quest is needed for access to the town Slayer Monsters Slayer is a members only skill. The key to slayer is learning the enemy’s weakness and killing it accordingly. In slayer, you get an assignment from a slayer master to kill a specific number of a certain type of monster. These assignments can vary from 10 spiders to 200 iron dragons and depend a lot on which slayer master you choose. To get started on the skill, go to a slayer master and ask for an assignment. He/she will tell you what monster to kill. The slayer experience for each kill equals the monster’s hit points. If you kill it with two people, the one that does the most damage will get half the exp and the one that inflicts the final blow the other half. If you do both, or attack it on your own, you get the full exp. Also, there are various monsters that can only be assigned and killed at certain slayer levels. There are special slayer creatures which can only be killed at or above a certain slayer skill level. These monsters offer rare drops and better treasure than normal monsters.These monsters have much better drops than normal ones since they have supposedly not been hunted for centuries and have managed to hoard up loads of treasure. They all require a certain slayer level to kill and some have to be fought with special equipment. They are the only monsters that drop black and gold mystic (a type of magic armor) and armoured boots which give great defence bonuses. The most wanted of all slayer monsters are the abyssal demons which require level 85 slayer to kill and which drop abyssal whips, currently the best melee weapon in the game. 7.0 – Frequently Asked Questions Q: Does the Black Mask and Salve amulet work together? A: No, only one of them works at any time. Q: In a multi-combat zone, who will get the slayer experience when two people are fighting a monster? A: The total amount of xp is equal to the hitpoints of the monster. That amount will be split given the following criteria: Half for the one that made the most damage, Half for the one that made the hit that killed the monster. Q: Does slaying monsters give you normal combat experience? A: Yes. Q: Will I have to complete a quest to finish an assignment? A: No, A slayer master will not assign monsters that require you to have to complete a quest to attack. For example, you would not have to kill elves if you have not done the Regicide quest. Q: Does Killing the Slayer monsters give me slaying experience? A: Only if you are assigned to kill them by a Slayer master. Q: I heard the whip drop rate is declining and whips are now much harder to get. Is it worth the effort to kill Abyssal demons for whips? A: Prices are steadily declining even though it’s rumored that whip drops are constantly becoming rare. There are plenty of other ways to make quicker money. Slayer Locations Some areas of the map are devoted entirely to the slayer skill and this is where slayer monsters can be found. There are three big ones Slayer caves: Found below Lumbridge and its swamps, these require a light source in order for players to enter them. A bullseye lantern is recommended since anything else will blow out very quickly, it is also recommended to wear a spiny helmet (buy in a slayer shop) because wall beasts house at regular intervals in the caves. They can be entered through the kitchen cellar of Lumbridge castle if players have started The Lost Tribe quest and through the dungeon entrance in the swamps (players need a rope for this). The caves contain cave slimes, cave crawlers, and several sizes of frogs as well as the popular Tears of Guthix minigame. Slayer dungeon: Located east of the golden apple tree in Relekka, this area is much more organized and less dangerous than the caves. Slayer tower: This is located in Morytania for a reason,

The Dragon Dagger can only be worn after completing the Lost City quest. The Dragon Dagger has the following stats:

Attack Bonuses
Stab: +40
Slash: +25
Crush: -4
Magic: +1

Defense Bonuses
Magic +1

Other Bonuses
Strength: +40

Attack Styles
Stab (Accurate, Stab)
Lunge (Aggressive, Stab)
Slash (Aggressive, Slash)
Block (Defensive, Stab)

My Thoughts:
The Dragon Dagger is similar in stats to a rune scimitar and can be bought for a similar price, to boot. The weapon features a special attack, called puncture, that strikes the opponent two times in quick succession, making it more useful than the scimmy.

The dagger also has the useful capability to be poisoned, making it useful for starting fights with. You can hit your opponent with it, poison them, then switch to a more powerful weapon.

The dragon dagger really is a throwaway weapon despite its capacity to be poisoned. You can feel free to use this in pk fights to poison your opponent without fear of losing something much more expensive. You should remember though, that you’ll need a cut diamond to buy another from the lost city of Zanaris.

Runescape Weapons Guide
There are many skills and over one hundred quests you can do in Runescape – you can make many new friends and have Runescape adventures with your friends. This guide talks about one of the most important features of the game: Runescape combat and its weapons.

Basics of Runescape Combat
First off, there are three main types of combat; Melee, Magic, and Range (archery to some). Some people prefer only one of these skills while others prefer to train up two or all three of the skills. These three types of combat have their own advantages and disadvantages that are represented in the Runescape combat triangle.

The combat triangle is the situation where melee has good defense and offense against Range because arrows easily bounce off that hard, bulky metal and swords can easily cut through soft durable leather. Rangers will have the upper-hand again mages users because arrows can easily pierce those thin robes and magic is deflected against leather and dragon-hide. Magic users (commonly known as mages) will normally be seen trying to fight a warrior because magic can be shot from longer distances than arrows and the armor has a very weak magic defense and is much heavier than the light robes that mages where allowing them to run for longer. All types of combat also have their own styles to use for accurate, aggressive, or defensive measures.

Best Runescape Weapons
What people perceive to be the “best Runescape weapons” largely comes down to personal preference and also depends on how much you play Runescape training your combat and what sort of stats your characters has which can vary greatly from player to player. More attacks and weapons can be used the higher your level in a particular combat skill. Let’s start with melee:

Runescape Melee Weapons
First time fighters will have level one attack. This is the only skill required for wielding weapons, but people try to raise their strength, or they will only hit low amounts of damage. At level one attack you can wield only bronze and iron weapons. Both are very inexpensive, but at the same time are not very good weapons.

At level five attack, you will find you can now wield some stronger steel weapons. These are still quite inexpensive.
At level 10 attack, the black weapons are opened up to you. These are the first of two metal weapons (and the only free member weapon) that can’t be made using the smithing skill. While inexpensive, they are harder to find as few stores sell black items.
At level 20 you can use the mithril (also known as “mith”) weapons! These are sometimes the last type of weapon in a store, but some won’t stop here. Still not expensive, but they are not cheap either for beginning players.
At level 30 you can use adamant (also know as “addy”) swords and the like. Addy weapons are more expensive for some players and are the last free member (F2P) weapons sold in normal stores.
Once you have reach level 40 attack and can use the best Runescape free to play weapons – Rune! Rune weapons are quite expensive and there is only one shop that sells them in free member, the champions guild which is south-west of Varrock. They can also be bought from other players and be smithed by high level smithers.
The best weapon in Runescape for free members is Rune scimitars (also known as “scimmys”). These scimitars are fast and accurate yet still relatively powerful. Some people also prefer two-handers (aka “2h”) – this weapon that cannot be used with a shield as they require two hand to wield so they leave you slightly more prone to damage and they are fairly inaccurate yet they make up for all this by packing a big punch. Other people often like to opt for the battle axe (also know as a “baxe”). These weapons are stronger but slower than the scimitar, yet and are faster but weaker than the two-hander. They can also be used with a shield.

Runescape Range Weapons
Range is the simplest combat form, the least expensive, and the fastest and most accurate. All you need is a bow and arrows and it requires two hands. At different levels of range you can use different bows and arrows. There are long bows and short bows. Short bows are preferred as they are faster and more lightweight while the longbow can shoot farther distances. There are also crossbows and their bolts which I will go over later.

At level one range you can use a normal short or long bow and bronze or iron arrows.
At level 5 range you can use oak bows and steel arrows.
At level 20 range you can use willow bows and mithril arrows.
At level 30 you can use maple bows and adamant arrows. These are the highest range weapons you can use as a free member.
For level 40 range you are allowed to use yew bows and rune arrows.
At 50 range you can use magic bows and any arrows.
An alternative to wooden bows and arrows, you can use crossbows and bolts. Their advantage is being one handed, meaning you can use a shield. The disadvantage is being slower, heavier, and harder to make. Free members can only use two crossbows, the regular crossbow and the phoenix crossbow, both requiring level one range and only being able to use bronze bolts. Bolts can also be fitted with gem tips.Paying members (P2P) can use bronze crossbows at level one. From there:

Blurite crossbows and bolts can be used at level 16 range.
At 26 range, iron crossbows and bolts can be used.
The Dorgeshuun crossbow requires 28 range and can use bone and iron bolts with out gem tips.
At 31 range, the steel crossbow and bolts can be acquired.
Mithril crossbows and bolts are used at level 36 range.
Once 46 range, a ranger can use adamant crossbows and arrows.
Finally, the rune crossbow and bolts can be used once level 61 range.
Most rangers use the best bow they can use at their range level. The arrows they use depend on how much money they want to spend buying or making them. Most people training prefer iron and steel arrows, but while “player-killing” (also known as Runescape Pking), most rangers will use the best arrows they can.

Runescape Magic Weapons
Probably the most favored combat skill for player-killing and quite complex for the game of Runescape. While magic can be used for fighting, it can also be used for other uses such as teleporting, changing the appearance of some items, helping others, and much more! While there are no magic level requirements for using different magical objects, you need magic levels to use different spells. Since this guide is about combat and weapons, we will only go over spells and items that can be used to fight:

Runescape Staffs
Magic only requires one hand so a shield can be wielded. You can buy staffs in staff shops or from other people. The staffs are Battlestaff (P2P), Staff, Magic Staff, Elemental Staffs (Air, Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire; have unlimited amount of runes for the type of staff it is, e.g. fire staffs have unlimited amounts of fire runes) Lava Battlestaff (has unlimited amounts of earth and fire runes and is P2P), and the Mud Battlestaff (unlimited water and earth runes and is P2P). Staffs can be used for melee but are very weak. Battlestaffs are much stronger for melee. All staffs can be set to auto-cast spells.

Runescape Runes
Runes can be bought from magic stores, other players, or made. Most runes are for F2P and include Elemental runes, body runes, mind runes, cosmic runes, chaos runes, nature runes, death runes, and law runes. P2P runes also include blood runes, soul runes, astral runes (required for lunar magic, which we will go over later), and combination runes; a mixture of two elemental runes (thus saving an inventory space). The only runes not used for some type of fighting are nature, astral, and law runes. The runes required to attack and do damage to other players includes mind runes (strikes), chaos runes (bolts), death runes (blasts), and blood runes (waves).

Runescape Magic Spells
Strikes are the weakest of the spells. You need to be level 13 magic to use all the strike; air being weakest, then water, earth, and fire being the strongest.
Bolts are slightly stronger and used more for training. At level 35 magic, all bolts can be used.
Blasts – Blasts are the strongest F2P spells and all of them can be used at level 59 magic.
Waves – The strongest of the spells for normal magic, all waves can be used at level 75 magic.
Different Types of Runescape Magic
There are 3 different types of magic – Normal (F2P), Ancient Magicks (P2P), and Lunar (P2P). Normal magic is the starter magic and is used for aggressive and non-aggressive uses. Ancient Magicks requires a quest and is more aggressive with a few teleports. These spells are very strong, but also quite expensive in runes. Lunar Magics also requires a skills but is has no aggressive attacks and even has spells to help other people! It requires astral runes for all spells.

Runescape Special Weapons – Dragon Weapons
Dragon weapons, and almost all special weapons, are P2P only. All Dragon weapons require a quest to acquire them and level 60 attack to equip them. They are red in color and have their own special attacks. Special attacks can be used by clicking the fighting style menu and highlighting the green bar at the bottom. When in combat, you will use that items special ability and drain part of your special energy bar. When your bar is empty, special attacks can no longer be used until the bar has recharged.

Other special Runescape weapons include:

Abbysal Whip – transfers 10% of your opponents energy to you.
Granite Maul – Instantly attacks enemy even if you just attacked them
Excalibur – Raises your defense temporarily by 10%
Seercullbow – Inflicts damage plus reduces the magic level by the number of damage inflicted
Darklight – Reduces an opponent’s attack, strength, and defense
Magic Longbow- An accurate shot that will definitely inflict damage
Magic Shortbow – Two quick arrow shots, but will hit with less accuracy
Crystal Bow – Does not have a special attack but is 80% more accurate than a magic longbow and hits higher than rune arrows and it does not use ammo
Rune Throwing Axes – Will hit many enemies in a multi-combat zone
Rune Claws – Temporarily increases strength and attack for that hit, but slower
Rod of Ivandis – Captures a Vampyre Juvinate that has low health (1/3), allowing you to use a Guthix Balance potion on it
Bone Dagger – Lowers opponents defence by the amount of damage you inflict. Has a very good chance of hitting an unsuspecting opponent
Dorgeshuun Crossbow – Same as bone dagger

Note, I really do enjoy some of the feedback I get in this blog. I’ve heard some great stories and received some great tips and tricks that have helped my own playing and enjoyment of the game.

But, unfortunately, my blog also attracts folks of all ages who see me as competition to be battered down into the ground (”I’m better than you, see?” comments), or some kind of financial supplier with a never-ending source of free stuff.

On the one hand, the relentless begging and bashing are strange concepts to me, considering I’m a complete and utter stranger, but on the other hand they’re not strange concepts to me because I notice clearly in life how many humans mistakenly think the world revolves around them and that everyone around them is ultimately present to either serve them or stand in their way.

I used to just delete the comments, but I think I’ll start to post about them instead, because it sounds more fun, and lets me link to other articles in my blog that new readers might not have otherwise come across.

I’ll be nice, because that’s what I am – but I also need practice being blunt, so I will likely do that too.

So, we’ll start with the first one I looked at out of the 909 comments I need to sift through since I haven’t been moderating comments for the past 9 months or so:

QUESTION/COMMENT
Date: November 18, 2006

dude how did u get ur stats so high?! I wuz wonderin if u could give me some money like 500k or sometin.

my user is [no longer included here]

add me and try and give memoney!!!!

ANSWER:

I got my stats high by playing hour upon hour upon hour, wasting time I could have spent socializing with humans face-to-face, working out, cooking healthy meals, or even learning new things and expanding my various Real Life potentials. I also got my stats high by sticking with the same character and rarely playing alternate ones. For example, I have no “pure” PK-based characters at this time.

To optimize my advancement, I tended to log in early in the morning when the population counts were the lowest and work on my high-competition skills like mining during those times.

Becoming a member was a key in my advancement. The world is much much bigger and therefore things you’re trying to gather in any one spot tend to have less competition than in non-member worlds.

As for cash – no, I won’t give you any. You’re a complete stranger, take responsibility, learn how to earn it on your own and stop relying on the world to support you.

There’s lots of great tips in this blog in general, but check out the specific entries about earning money by selling logs, running runes, mining ores, and if you’re a member, running flax.

If you need a job, check out the Runescape Job board and list your profile for free today.

Runescape is a very popular online game, and as a result, you may find yourself competing with others both in your battling areas and while you gather raw materials like logs and ores.

Simple strategies to lessen the frustration you’ll feel from this competition are as follows:

Become a Member if at all possible – the accessable part of the world is larger and thus there are places to gather your raw materials and build your skills.
Find a bank far away from the main cities and gather your materials from that location instead. Many players are too lazy to leave the main cities, so the competition is inherently reduced.
Find a time of the day when there are reliably less people playing, and spend that time gathering materials that are the most frustrating with other players around: mining, log gathering and fishing for example.
Invest the time in improving your ranging ability (bow and arrow use), because when you’re fighting in competitive areas, quick-clicking rangers have an advantage, and in some areas a ranger can stand out of the reach of a large monster, yet still attack and kill that monster.
Make your own arrows – this goes with the above point – if you try to buy enough arrows to improve your ranging ability, you’ll spend all of your money and still not have enough arrows. It’s better to advance your mining, smelting and fletching skills so you can create and use your own arrows. Plus, hey, if you have an extra 1000 laying around after all that work, you can sell it for a profit to others who are too lazy to create their own!
Explore the wilderness when the game server isn’t full – there are a lot of great skilling places, like mines and herblore-component things, in the Wilderness. But of course, there are inherent dangers in the Wilderness – other players looking to kill you for sport or for your equipment. Explore when the game server is quiet and you’ll be a lot less stressed.
Save every rune you come across – then build your mage skills periodically. Building your mage skills is rewarded by the teleport skills you will get at mid-to-high levels, which make transportation around the world a LOT EASIER, and provides for quick-escape within certain parts of the Wilderness in case you find yourself under attack.
Sell law runes 1, 2 or 5 at a time when players are specifically desperate for the runes – don’t sell large quantities at any one time as you won’t get a good rate for them, and law runes are valuable (being a key part of the mage teleports above). If you sell 1, 2 or 5 at a time, you can ask 1000 coins for each and players will pay. Watch for their advertisements in the bank.

While some online games allow for third-party software to be “added on” to improve your enjoyment of the game, some games do not. RuneScape, for example, has no legitimate addons which do not violate the Terms of Service you agreed upon when signing up, and very often any addons you’ll download are actually keyloggers that enable someone else to steal your account entirely.

Games like World of Warcraft, however, have a thriving “UI Mod/Addons” community and many advanced users download and install .LUA scripts which work with WoW to change launch bars, introduce in-game schedulers, track information while gaming, etc. In this case, the general rule is this:

If the Addon you’re downloading contains an executable file (in the form of a .bat file or a .exe or .com file), be very careful about running it. Executable files can easily contain keyloggers specifically added to steal your account information.

While replacing a highly-targetted-for-hacking browser with one less focused on is an important first step, it’s also important to acknowledge that hackers are constantly releasing new software and websites and trying new tricks to steal your online accounts from you. For this reason, you should be scanning your computer on a regular basis (at least once a month) to detect and remove spyware, data harvesters and keyloggers from your Windows PC.

Download Lavasoft’s Ad Aware SE (for your home computer, there’s a free version). Then, make sure all aspects of it are updated (when you first download it, there may still be updates you need to download immediately after installation) and then let it scan your drives. This may take a while if you, like me, have large drives. It’s worth the wait but you might want to let it scan overnight if you’ve never scanned before. Remove *ALL* of the things that Ad Aware SE finds. You may have to right-click the list and choose “select all” before proceeding if you have a long list. I had a friend with over 700 items in this list the first time we cleaned his computer up, and once they were all removed, his browsing sped up tremendously again.

Download Spyware Search & Destroy (these can both be found in Tucows directory) and do the same things as were done for Ad Aware in the previous paragraph. I find that these two programs work nicely together to keep my drive clean, with my doing weekly scans.

Early on as a Runescape Mage or Ranger, you can fight much like you’d fight with a melee character, in being toe-to-toe with your opponent as you fire your spells or arrows into them. Low level NPC opponents don’t hit very hard so this strategy works just fine initially.

But, very soon you’re going to want to upgrade your strategy for fighting as a Mage or Ranger in the online role playing game, Runescape – soon, your opponents will start to beat you rather hard, because you don’t have the armor that a melee fighter does.

So, what are the Runescape tips to avoid being beaten upon by our opponents as we get higher level?

Hide behind stuff, just like my secondary character (a little mismatched in dress) is doing with this lvl 10 Dwarf in the Dwarf Mines.
Find monsters with good drops and good experience who offer you things to hide behind as you attack them.
If you’re a member, scout out your slayer assignment and decide whether Ranger or Mage would work better in this situation or whether you should stick to playing bash-em with your metal armor.
If you’re fighting something that casts magical spells at you, then play Ranger rather than Mage or Fighter. Leathers and dragonhides are more fire-resistant than either of the other two’s armor types.
In closing, I’d like to add that halberds can also be used like a Fighter’s “from a distance”/range weapon, allowing you to wear your highly protective armor while still attacking from afar, hiding behind or beside something your NPC opponent cannot get past. Blue Dragons and Hellhounds are two that come to mind immediately, although these are both member beasts I believe.
