Kalphite workers are worker kalphites that serve the kalphite queen. They are found throughout the Kalphite Lair and Kalphite Cave west and east of the Shantay Pass, respectively. They cannot poison, unlike the majority of kalphite.
Kalphite workers, like all other kalphites, are affected by Keris and its variants. They can also be assigned to players as a Slayer task. Killing kalphite workers will grant 40 Slayer XP per kill. A dwarf multicannon can be used to fight them, as they are in a multi-combat area.
