The greater abyssal demon is a superior variant of the normal abyssal demon. It has a chance of spawning when an abyssal demon is killed if the player has purchased the unlock Bigger and Badder for 150 Slayer reward points from any Slayer master.

The greater abyssal demon has a special attack, like other high levelled superior slayer monsters. It will increase its attack speed to 1 and quickly attack four times in succession, teleporting around the player on each attack. These attacks will always hit regardless of the player's defensive bonuses and is guaranteed to hit well over 20 damage for each attack if not using Protect from Melee. Unlike its normal brethren, it will not teleport itself or the player at random outside of the special attack.

Like all demons, the greater abyssal demon is weak against demonbane weapons.

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 1,142,066 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.
