Terror dogs are Slayer monsters that require a Slayer level of 40 (not boostable) to kill. Being the personal pets of Tarn Razorlor,^[1] they are first encountered during the miniquest Lair of Tarn Razorlor, in which the player must fight two terror dogs, alongside some animated armour in addition to Tarn himself. Upon completion of the miniquest, more terror dogs can be found in the room.

Terror dogs use an accurate melee attack. As the room they are fought in is a multi-combat area, fighting them can become very dangerous quickly, as multiple terror dogs can attack the player all at once.

Terror dogs do not count toward fulfilling a Slayer task for dogs; they are a separate task. They are the only monsters that drop the Granite helmet.

Killing a Terror Dog is one of the tasks for the Medium Morytania Diary.

Players can hide in Tarn's room just north of the terror dogs and wait for them to develop tolerance to the player. This makes combating them significantly less risky. Be sure to log out to check for tolerance, as any dogs aggressive towards the player will remain so until the player exits Tarn's room, even if all other dogs are no longer aggressive. This will also cause all dogs targeting the player to stop and begin wandering around. Players can check to see if the dogs are still aggressive by exiting Tarn's room and waiting at the door for a quick retreat if they are.

It is possible to safespot the dogs from Tarn's room using magic or ranged. The dog must be standing on the tile directly in front of the doorway. Walking back and forth between the bookcases in the room while a dog is following you can help position the dog on the correct tile.

Terror dogs are similar to hellhounds in that they can hit hard and accurately, but have very low Defence. As the only area in which they are found is multi-combat, multiple terror dogs can attack at once. Players should be aware that the room that terror dogs are in at Tarn's Lair will drain prayer at a rate of 1 point per two game ticks, or 50 points per minute (much faster than the Barrows). Players cannot set up a cannon in the room.

Fighting terror dogs (mostly done for Slayer tasks) can be a difficult task for players who are unprepared. They can be safespotted if standing in the recesses after they have became tolerant of players.

High-level players, looking to fill the collection log for the Granite helm, may choose to bring their best ranged gear and a Venator bow to quickly dispatch the Terror dogs. Additionally, a Serpentine helm and Blowpipe can be worn initially to tag dogs and lure into the center, while also inflicting venom. Access to a house rejuvenation pool or the Elidinis Statuette provides easy restoration while waiting for respawns.

Teleporting to Tarn's Lair via the slayer ring is the fastest way of reaching to the room with terror dogs. Otherwise, the player will have to get there by foot. The trek to terror dogs is highly dangerous, especially for lower level players. It is recommended to bring high healing foods, prayer potions, and possibly dragonhide armour, if the player does not have access to Protect from Magic, as the player will encounter Skeleton mages within the lair that casts strong magical attacks at the player.

If the player does not have access to slayer rings, it is possible to navigate Tarn's Lair manually as shown in the image to the right; energy management such as a stamina potion is highly recommended.
