Pyrefiends are Slayer monsters that require level 30 Slayer to kill. They are the weaker elemental cousin of the waterfiend, but are stronger than most icefiends, except the ones at Ghorrock Fortress. They have similar drops to those of lesser demons and harpie bug swarms, and are notable for their relatively high drop rate for medium clue scrolls.

Strengths and weaknesses

Pyrefiends have high accuracy compared to many other monsters with a similar combat level. Pyrefiends are weak to bolts and to abilities and perks that affect demons. Dwarf multicannons can be used to fight pyrefiends in the Smoke Dungeon but not in the Fremennik Slayer 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.
