The Wyrd is a boss fought during The Blood Moon Rises. In truth, he is Safalaan Hallow, after being subjected to the vampyrification process by Vanescula Drakan. Despite his efforts, his hunger drives him to attack the player.

In his first phase, he follows a standard attack pattern:

• First, he will punch the player twice (pray melee), pushing them back one tile. This attack can deal chip damage through prayer. If the player's back is against a wall or obstacle, they will take extra damage from recoil.
• Then he will prepare to unleash a screech attack, similar to that used by venators. Turn off overhead prayers during the screech to avoid taking damage and draining prayer. Alternatively, you can use a Slayer helmet or earmuffs to negate some of the damage. The screech will either hit 2 or 3 times.
• After screaming twice, he will then smash the ground. The areas of ground he smashes matches the hand(s) he punched with earlier, so dodge to the opposite side. (For example, if he punched to the player's left then right, dodge right then left after the scream.) Dodge only one tile. If you dodge more, Wyrd will turn around and the slam also hits different tiles.

In his second phase, he will start using a lightning attack instead of a normal screech attack. The attack begins with blood pools appearing around the arena. Stepping on these will damage you. Turn off overhead prayers. When this attack starts, the tiles around Wyrd will always be clear of the blood pools. Periodically, lightning will strike the blood pools, destroying them and allowing you to run over them. Use these clear spots as a path to move far away from the boss. The dome of lightning around the boss will grow progressively larger, to the edges of the blood pools, with damage from it starting at 6.

• In RuneScape 3, Safalaan is similarly transformed into a wyrd, but his blood lust and inability to transform back into a human is cured via the creation of an Extreme Guthix balance potion.
• Wyrds were originally first mentioned in the RuneScape novel Return to Canifis.
