The choke devil is a superior variant of the dust devil. It has a chance of spawning after purchasing the unlock Bigger and Badder for 50 Slayer reward points from any Slayer master. Like their standard variant, a facemask, Slayer helmet, or Slayer helmet (i) is required to safely engage them, otherwise the player will take rapid damage and have their stats drained.

Drops

In addition to 100% drops and tertiary drops, superior slayer monsters will always roll 3 additional items, of which only 1 roll may be from the superior unique table. The other rolls are performed on the regular counterpart's table; their displayed drop chances represent a single roll.

Drop rates are estimated based on 784,134 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

The average Choke devil kill is worth 138,936.43.

The average Choke devil kill while on a Konar task is worth 224,591.58.
