Terror dog

Terror dogs are found at the end of Tarn's Lair. They can be killed at level 40 Slayer, and characters can access them very quickly by utilising the "Tarn's Lair" teleport on the slayer ring.

During The Lair of Tarn Razorlor, four of these need to be fought alongside some animated armour and Tarn Razorlor. They rarely use their magic attack, only using it when out of melee range, and it is very weak and inaccurate. After Tarn Razorlor has been slain, their mass melee rush in a multi-combat, prayer-draining area can create problems for the unprepared.

Terror dogs do not count toward fulfilling a Slayer task for dogs; they are a separate task.

Their drops are also very similar to the drops of Green dragons. They are the only monsters that drop Granite helmets.

Location
Terror dogs can be an annoying slayer task if the player is not in possession of a Ring of slaying, as getting there will take a long time and will be very dangerous. If you don't have a ring, skip these tasks if possible. With a Ring of Slaying, getting there is very quick, and chances are that a player in possession of said ring will be fit enough to challenge these beasts. It costs 75 Slayer points to buy a ring, or 300 points to unlock their manufacture at 75 crafting.

Note that even without the Ring of slaying, it's possible for well-equipped, medium to high-level players to navigate the entire lair, complete the miniquest, and do the slayer assignment in one trip. The dogs can be found at:
 * Tarn's Lair
 * Dominion Tower (4 when fighting Tarn Razorlor; these do not count toward slayer assignments)

Strategy
Terror dogs are similar to hellhounds in that they can hit hard and accurately, but have very low defence. Unlike hellhounds, terror dogs drop more than just charms and the occasional clue scroll. The other difference is that Terror dogs attack in swarms.

Fighting terror dogs (mostly done for slayer tasks) can be a difficult and annoying task for the unprepared, but a prepared player who can use Evolution of Combat abilities intelligently will do very well. With the proper equipment, this task becomes a walk-over. High-level players with healing equipment or familiars can fight them indefinitely.

Getting There
The easiest way by far involves a Ring of slaying teleport. The difference is so profound that one should always use this method if possible.

If the player will have to reach the terror dogs by travelling through Tarn's Lair (rather than teleporting via the ring of slaying), you might want to wear dragonhide armour or bring prayer potions if you are under 70 prayer, as the skeleton mages' magic attacks can hit hard on metal armour without Protection from magic up. If you opt for dragonhide, remember that Terror dogs are melee creatures. Before entering the room, make sure to change into better melee armour.

Challenges
Tarn's Lair quickly drains prayer at a rate of 10 points per two game ticks, or 500 points per minute (much faster than the Barrows), so it is best not to plan on using prayer.

Although they are in a multi-combat area, the Dwarf Multicannon cannot be used here.

Finally, as noted above, Terror dogs will multi-attack players, subjecting them to constant and accurate melee  attacks from several sides at once. Pay Attention! Finally, note that Terror dogs can hit frequently and hard, so players should pay particular attention to their life points when fighting them. For example, even when using Guthan's set and a Bunyip at the same time, a series of terror dog hits can sometimes cause damage much faster than the equipment and familiar can heal the player. An Emergency teleport is recommended if players experience difficulty staying above half life points.
