Commander Zilyana is the appointed leader of Saradomin's forces in the God Wars Dungeon and one of only three known still living representatives of the Icyene race, one being the half-human half-Icyene Safalaan and the other being a full-blooded Icyene encountered during the quest The Blood Moon Rises.

To gain access to her chamber within the Saradomin Encampment, players must use an ecumenical key or have killed 40^[1] of Saradomin's followers throughout the dungeon. Furthermore, in addition to an Agility level of 70 (cannot be boosted), players must bring two ropes on their first visit in order to navigate obstacles in the encampment. Note, if this is your first time entering the God Wars Dungeon, you will need a total of three ropes.

Like other God Wars Dungeon bosses, Zilyana roams around a rectangular room with her bodyguards until a player enters, attacking them on sight. While she has a significantly lower max hit than the other generals, she makes up for it with extremely fast and accurate attacks, and her bodyguards use a different combat style each. She will only use her magic attacks at melee distance, which has a minimum hit of 10 should it successfully hit the player^[2]. If all players leave, her health and stats will be reset.

• Starlight (Melee)
• Bree (Ranged)
• Growler (Magic)

There is an 8/127 chance of rolling the God Wars Dungeon-variant rare drop table and a 2/127 chance of rolling the God Wars Dungeon-variant gem drop table.^[7] This table differs from the regular rare drop table and gem drop table in a few ways. This table is unaffected by the ring of wealth.^[8] The runite bar drop is replaced by a rune sword. The quantity range of some items differs. All empty rolls (1/2.70) are replaced by a coin drop of 19,500-20,000; however the chance of rolling these coins is included in the monster's main drop table and is not displayed here for the sake of clarity.
