Mutated Bloodvelds are stronger variants of bloodvelds that require level 50 Slayer to kill. They are found within the Catacombs of Kourend, Iorwerth Dungeon, Meiyerditch Laboratories, and Buccaneers' Laboratory.

Like regular bloodvelds, a mutated bloodveld's attacks are magic-based melee. They are known to damage frequently due to their high attack level, so equipping armour with high Magic defence is recommended to mitigate their attacks. They can also be safespotted with ease. Alternatively, players can opt to wear Prayer equipment while using the Protect from Melee prayer, using prayer potions instead of food. Players can also teleport to an altar and then teleport back to the Catacombs instead of using prayer potions, since these bloodvelds are so close to the entrance.

Mutated bloodvelds are popular for players willing to spend time completing their task, as they provide better experience than normal bloodvelds. They also drop blood runes at a higher rate compared to normal bloodvelds, in addition to the ancient shard and dark totem pieces they drop in the Catacombs of Kourend and the crystal shards they drop in the Iorwerth Dungeon. On average, a player can expect to receive 3.6 blood runes per mutated bloodveld kill.

While on a bloodveld Slayer task, there is a 1/200 chance that an insatiable mutated bloodveld will spawn after you kill a mutated bloodveld (if you have Bigger and Badder unlocked).

As it is classified as a demon, this creature is affected by demonbane weapons.

• Killing a mutated bloodveld is the solution to the elite cryptic clue: You'll get licked. A bloodveld may also be killed for this step.

• Mutated Bloodvelds had a festive override wearing a santa hat during the 2023, 2024, and 2025 Christmas events.
• Mutated bloodvelds were originally released as part of the Legacy of Seergaze quest in RuneScape 3 in 2008. Unlike the mutated bloodvelds in Old School RuneScape, they used a vastly different model compared to normal bloodveld, resembling a cross between a human and a bloodveld, whereas the normal and mutated bloodvelds of Old School RuneScape simply have their tongue and mouth colours swapped. Their examine text is also notably different.
