An Ankou (elite) is an elite version of the ankou. If on a Slayer assignment, an elite Ankou is guaranteed to spawn; otherwise, elite monsters have a spawn rate of 1 in 1,000. Elite spawn rates can be further increased with the use of fellstalk incense sticks.

If a player fails to damage it at any point, it will heal 300-500 per tick (until the player manages to damage it again). Unlike its normal counterpart, the elite version can manoeuvre around safe spots and get within melee distance of unsuspecting players.

Names

The elite versions have varying names, with a randomly generated prefix and suffix.

Prefix	Ankou	Suffix
Cruel		of Death
Dangerous		of Doom
Infamous		of Fear
Monstrous		of Pain
Notorious		of Peril
Powerful		of Suffering
