Dagannoth are sea-based monsters that live in the Lighthouse basement (close to fairy ring code ALP) after players complete Horror from the Deep (type 1 in the table). They can also be found in the southern part of the Catacombs of Kourend, as well as the Jormungand's Prison after completion of The Fremennik Exiles (type 2 in the table).

The level 74 in the Lighthouse uses a ranged attack that hits up to 10, but has poor accuracy. The level 92 dagannoth uses melee, which is more accurate and hits up to 8. In the other areas, both levels use melee. The Lighthouse basement is a multicombat area and therefore many players use dwarf multicannons to train here. A dwarf multicannon cannot be used within the Catacombs of Kourend.

These dagannoth are significantly weaker than the variant on Waterbirth Island despite similar combat levels, with the Waterbirth Island dagannoth having much higher max hits.
