Airut are bipedal, boar-like creatures who follow the goddessTuska. Before Tuska's demise, they lived on her back, riding and controlling her with massive reins. They are also found on Mazcab where they are typically found wandering desert areas. They were named after an ancient warrior of the same name by the Naragi when Naragun was attacked by the Airut and Tuska. They drop the level 90 melee power gloves, razorback gauntlets, as well as pieces of the tuska mask and pages of Kaigi's journal. Airut require 92 Slayer to be damaged.
They have a special attack that is signalled when they roar and hit their chest. Shortly after, their attacks will temporarily have their damage doubled and speed doubled for ranged or quadrupled for melee. If the flurry or rapid fire abilities are used, the attack will be prevented or interrupted, causing the Airut to be stunned and take double damage temporarily.
They also have a passive ability that increases their defence the lower their health is.
Airut came to Gielinor via portals, signalling Tuska's upcoming arrival. Airut can be found just west of the Phoenix Lair in the Piscatoris Hunter area (a•k•q or Phoenix Lair Teleport), in Kuradal's Dungeon and Mazcab. The Airut in Mazcab are the only Airut that the Nemi poison affects.
↑Only if you do not already have one. These stop dropping after the game begins dropping pages.
↑Only after Kaigi's journal has been obtained. When picked up, they go straight into the journal even if it is in the bank. There are four pages in total. These stop dropping after you complete the journal.
Despite their examine text, they are not aggressive, although they are aggressive when encountered in Raids.
Airut did not have their own unique slayer icon. They shared the same slayer icon as the Scutarius. This was fixed.
Airut, along with Cadarn rangers, are the only non-magic using monsters to drop Sirenic scales.
When asking Kuradal and/or Morvran for advice on these creatures, she/he will say that they are weak to stab despite them having no explicit weakness. A similar issue occurs with Kal'gerion demons.
Razorback gauntlets were originally dropped regardless of whether you were on a slayer assignment, but this was updated on 14 April 2014.
