The greater abyssal demon is a superior variant of the abyssal demon. It has a chance of spawning after purchasing the unlock Bigger and Badder for 50 Slayer reward points from any Slayer master.

Periodically, the greater abyssal demon will teleport around the player four times, increasing its attack speed to 1 (0.6 seconds) for the duration of the teleport. Each of these attacks will always land as a successful hit that is very likely to deal over 20 damage, which can quickly kill a player if they are not paying attention. Using Protect from Melee will prevent damage. The demon will only use this attack when in melee range, and it unlike its lesser brethren, does not teleport itself or the player outside of this attack.

Like all demons, the greater abyssal demon is weak against demonbane weapons.

Drops

In addition to 100% drops and tertiary drops, superior slayer monsters will always roll 3 additional items, of which only 1 roll may be from the superior unique table. The other rolls are performed on the regular counterpart's table; their displayed drop chances represent a single roll.

Drop rates are estimated based on 1,142,066 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

The average Greater abyssal demon kill is worth 261,353.56. This is largely due to the possibility of dropping the rare imbued heart or eternal gem from the Superior Slayer tertiary drop table. Without these drops, the average drop value is about three times that of the regular abyssal demon. The average Abyssal demon (Standard) kill is worth 4,472.42.

The average Greater abyssal demon kill while on a Konar task is worth 347,008.71.
