Bloodvelds are a type of demon that use their long tongues to attack their victims. Being a Slayer monster, bloodvelds require a Slayer level of 50 to be damaged by players. As a demon, it is affected by demonbane weapons. An ash sanctifier may be brought to receive Prayer experience. Bloodvelds are popular among many players for their high Hitpoints and low Defence, thus making them good sources of experience.

Bloodvelds are one of few monsters that attack with magic-based melee, meaning that despite it using melee attacks against the player, it is the player's magic defence (rather than their melee defence) that is used to determine the accuracy of the bloodveld's attack. As such, it is recommended for players killing bloodvelds to equip armour with decent magic defence, such as dragonhide or blood moon armour, as they are relatively accurate in combat. Players using Prayer should still pray Protect from Melee instead of magic to nullify damage.

There are many locations to kill bloodvelds, though the most common one is the Stronghold Slayer Cave, due to its close proximity to a bank. The bloodvelds can also be killed here with a dwarf multicannon, requiring relatively low attention. The Meiyerditch Laboratories are notably multi-combat and cannonable. It is not recommended to kill bloodvelds elsewhere, as they take longer to access and/or are not cannonable. Bloodvelds have a superior variant, the insatiable bloodveld, if the perk Bigger and Badder is active.

Players can also kill Mutated Bloodvelds in place of normal bloodvelds. These bloodvelds have even more hitpoints than their non-mutated counterparts and a vastly improved drop table to make up for their difficulty. Mutated bloodvelds are found in four locations: the Catacombs of Kourend, Meiyerditch Laboratories, Buccaneers' Laboratory, and Iorwerth Dungeon. Each location has their own advantages and disadvantages. Under most circumstances, players are recommended to kill them in the Meiyerditch Laboratories, as a cluster of seven mutated bloodvelds can be found. Coupled with its multicombat nature and the ability to place a cannon, bloodveld tasks here provide the most experience per hour and even more AFK time. Players with 76 Sailing may instead kill them at Buccaneers' Laboratory, which is also multicombat but has no obstacles blocking bloodvelds. Building the rowboat and bank chest makes accessing and banking here much faster than other locations.

The other two locations are only recommended when assigned there by Konar.

If assigned by Konar quo Maten, it is reasonable to kill bloodvelds if sent to the Slayer Tower, but tasks sending the player to the God Wars Dungeon should be skipped, as they do not allow for the insatiable bloodveld to spawn, and AFK'ing is not possible without drawing aggression from other monsters.

It is not recommended to kill them if assigned by Krystilia, as the only location they can be found is the Wilderness God Wars Dungeon, which is a dangerous multiway area where players run the risk of being killed by other players (along with incredibly sparse spawns) forcing them to bring minimal risk and thus lowering overall rates.

Players who are not assigned bloodvelds by Konar can alternatively use Expert Reanimation on ensouled bloodveld heads, as reanimated bloodveld count towards the task. While overall Slayer and combat experience is much less, this is a viable alternative for players who are training Prayer.
