The choke devil is a superior variant of the normal dust devil. Like all superior variants, they have a 1 in 200 chance of spawning after killing the non-superior variant, after purchasing the unlock Bigger and Badder for 150 Slayer reward points from any Slayer master.

Similar to their lower-level counterparts, a facemask or slayer helmet is required to safely engage them, as otherwise the player will take rapid damage and have their stats drained.

Drops

In addition to 100% drops and tertiary drops, superior slayer monsters will always roll 3 additional items, of which only 1 roll may be from the superior unique table. The other rolls are performed on the regular counterpart's table; their displayed drop chances represent a single roll.

Drop rates estimated based on 784,134 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.
