Salarin the Twisted is an evil druid found at the end of Yanille's Agility dungeon in an area that requires level 67 Agility to enter. He is one of the few sources of the sinister key, which opens the closed chest that contains nine herbs: two Grimy harralander, three Grimy ranarr, one Grimy irit, one Grimy kwuarm, one Grimy avantoe, and one Grimy torstol.

Salarin can only be harmed with magic or necromancy, with fire spells being the most effective. He can be damaged by any magic or necromancy auto-attack or abilities (including abilities like Tuska's Wrath used with weapons of those two styles), Conjuration, and poison.

Food, or a healing familiar such as the bunyip, are useful during long trips. High-level players can easily kill Salarin multiple times with little or no need for food.

Salarin is aggressive and attacks with melee by default. However, if attacked from outside his wander radius, he would retaliate with equally strong magic attacks.

Trivia

• Before the release of the Farming skill, killing Salarin for the Sinister key was the only way to obtain Torstol.
• Before the Evolution of Combat, Salarin could only be injured by the four elemental strike spells that used mind runes - Wind Strike, Water Strike, Earth Strike, and Fire Strike - and by Slayer Dart, Wind Rush, and Polypore Strike spell. Although it hit higher, Slayer Dart wasn't as consistent as the strike spells.
• When the Evolution of Combat was released, Salarin was one of the many monsters that did not have their stats updated, as evidenced by low life points and maximum damage, and a glitched weakness to crush. His weakness was changed to fire spells with the release of Vorago on 3 July 2013, but his life points and maximum hit were not changed until 13 October 2014.
• When using either his melee or magic attacks (Fire Strike), he uses an animation similar to the special attacks of the god staves.
• If he is attacked with melee or ranged, he occasionally will yell Your pitiful attacks cannot hurt me! in overhead chat.
