The exact conditions behind their style and prayer switching, the boulder, and their drop table.
Demonic gorillas punish autopilot harder than anything else on the server. They are combat level 275 with 380 hitpoints and a max hit of 31 in every style — and they switch style on you, then switch their own protection prayer against you.
A gorilla changes its attack style after three consecutive misses in the style it is using. That is why they feel unpredictable: a run of bad accuracy on their side is what makes them swap, so the timing is never quite the same twice.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Combat level | 275 |
| Hitpoints | 380 |
| Max hit | 31 — identical in all three styles |
| Style switch | After 3 consecutive misses |
| Prayer switch | 4 damage instances AND 70+ damage |
| Boulder | A third of your CURRENT hitpoints |
The overhead boulder throw does a third of your current hitpoints, not a third of your maximum. It cannot kill you on its own, but it will take a comfortable health bar down to an uncomfortable one right before a melee hit lands — which is exactly how it is meant to work.
