Demonic larvae are monsters that appear during the fight with the Doom of Mokhaiotl. If one reaches the very centre of the Doom, it will heal it and damage the player, as well as gaining one stack of "demonic charge". This initially starts at 10 health healed and 1 damage dealt, but additional stacks of demonic charge will increase the amount the Doom heals and the damage the player takes. Demonic stacks are not reset between delve levels, so it is important to kill the demonic larvae when the opportunity allows.
Larvae have 2 health, with damage capped at 1 if a non-demonbane weapon or spell is used against them, having no attack delay. If a demonbane weapon/spell is used against them, this will immediately kill the larvae.
In delve levels 1-3, they appear beige and may occasionally use one protection prayer. At delve level 4 and beyond, the larvae will begin to be combat orientated, praying against two styles, requiring all three combat styles to handle them. Green and blue larvae will appear outside of the shield phase, requiring ranged and magic respectively, while red larvae only appear during shield phases, requiring melee to be killed.
During the shield phase at delve level 3+, larvae will constantly drop down. The frequency of these spawns increases to its maximum at delve level 7.
At delve levels 5-7, two larvae will periodically drop down outside of the shield phase.
At delve levels 8 and higher, a giant larvae will drop down outside the shield phase. This larvae has double the health of the smaller ones (4 health), therefore requiring two demonbane weapon/spell hits to kill, and if allowed to reach the Doom, will apply a Demonic Charge that is three times more potent than a smaller one; e.g a missed giant larvae at 0 stacks would deal 3 damage to the player and heal Doom for 30 hitpoints. Normal-sized larvae will continue to spawn during the shield phase.
When demonic larvae are killed, they will explode and deal damage around them in a 3x3 area to the player; however, if this blast hits the Doom, it will deal 5-10 damage (or 100 shield damage) to the Doom instead.
Before delve level 8, larvae can hit no more than 12 damage to the player when they reach and heal the Doom.
After delve level 8, normal-sized larvae can hit a max of 20 damage to the player if they heal the Doom. While giant larvae can hit up to damage 30 to the player if they reach and heal the Doom.
