The Dagannoth mother is a boss that can be encountered in the Nightmare Zone. She is a version of the regular Dagannoth mother encountered in the Horror from the Deep quest. She can attack with both Melee and Ranged, prioritizing the opposite style if the player tries to use protection prayers against her.

Air, Earth, Water, Fire, Chaos, Death and Blood rune appear when fighting her

Like the quest version, she cycles through different colours every 18 seconds to explicitly show her weaknesses. Although she does aggro onto the player, she will not start attacking until she is attacked first. She is immune to damage from the Zapper power-up.

In Endurance mode, 2,038 reward points are earned upon defeating the normal difficulty version, and 9,207 reward points are earned upon defeating the hard difficulty version.
