Muggers are weak human non-player characters that have a combat level of 6. Because of their low combat level, they are generally more of a nuisance, but they can still be a threat for brand-new players.

Muggers are aggressive, which means that they attack players who are two times the mugger's combat level or less. Thus, muggers are aggressive against players who have a combat level between 3 and 12.

Trivia

  • According to the Varrock Census, Phearthee Levalsyx is the name of the Mugger who resides in the city.
    • His name is a pun on "Fear the level six", a reference to his level and the fact he is aggressive and will harm new players.
  • During the 25th Anniversary event, the mugger in south-east Varrock was removed as so to not interfere with players doing the event.
