Dagannoth are monsters that live in Waterbirth Island Dungeon.
The level 90 Dagannoth use an accurate melee attack, which hits often and hard against players. Protect from Melee, or Barrows armour or better, and food is recommended.
The level 88 Dagannoth use a fast and very accurate ranged attack which hits higher than their melee variants. They will stand still when aggressive and lose interest if the player leaves their attack range of 4, making them difficult to safespot. They are also known for dropping components to create spined armour, along with the spined gloves and spined boots.
Similar to every other enemy in the Waterbirth Island Dungeon, both variants ignore player and monster collision.
Location
In the maps linked from the table below, red pins indicate melee dagannoth (level 90), green indicate ranged dagannoth (level 88), and blue pins indicate a mix of both types. Note that it is possible for dagannoth to intermingle between the entrance and southern path, if the door is opened.
