The butcher is a book that appears on the ground after defeating the Pestilent Bloat in the Theatre of Blood. It can also be obtained from the grand bookshelves in Verzik Vitur's treasure vault beneath her throne room, accessed after her defeat.

The book details how the Pestilent Bloat came to be, being created by an erratic vampyre known as "The Butcher" using the body parts of different races such as ogres and cyclopes.

If lost, it can be reclaimed by defeating the Pestilent Bloat, or from a bookcase within a player-owned house.
