Please Whitelist This Site?

I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. If I can't make at least a little bit of money to support my family via this site, I'll have to stop working on it.

One alternative is to become a RuneScoop member. It's cheap, you get access to all of the site with no ads, and you help keep the lights on around here.

If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add RuneScoop to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on Runescoop.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@http://*runescoop.com/*". Then just click OK.

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely... Qeltar, aka Charles, your hard-working host and RuneScape guide-writer extraordinaire. :)

Bovimastyx

Bovimastyxes are tame monsters that look somewhat like small dinosaurs, leading to them often being called “dinos”. They are the natural source of hides for making leather ranging armor, and as such as considered a skill resource; I discuss them in detail in their own topic in that section.

These creatures are among the few non-aggressive monsters in Daemonheim. Killing them is possible, so I have put their combat stats here for completeness, but fighting these critters is pointless. You do not need to kill them, and if it’s hides you’re after, you will get 2-4 by hunting them, while at most one (and often none) if you hack them with your weapon.

These docile creatures have only a weak melee attack and no confirmed resistances, though their hides would, I assume, make them at least moderately strong against magic.
