Cave horrors are a slayer monster found in the Mos Le'Harmless Caves. Killing them requires the completion of Cabin Fever, level 58 Slayer, a witchwood icon, and a light source (unless a Fire of Eternal Light is lit). They are most often killed for their black mask drops along with a decent rate of hard clue scrolls.
The cave horrors have a special attack which always deals damage equal to 10% of the player's base Hitpoints level, rounded down (e.g. 9 damage at 96). This attack can be completely nullified by either wearing a witchwood icon OR by having Protect from Melee activated. Using protection prayers allows players to use more powerful necklaces instead of the witchwood icon as it only provides minor bonuses.
Another strategy is to use safe spots, but players should take caution leaving their safe spot to loot, as the aggressive cave horrors may attack you. For this reason, if you do not have access to Protect from Melee, it is still recommended to bring the witchwood icon.
Cave horrors are found inside Mos Le'Harmless Caves. To get there, players may do any of the following:
Cave horrors use a Magic-based melee attack, so it is advised that players bring dragonhide armour or other armour that provides Magic Defence bonus. Players must also be wearing a witchwood icon, which can be purchased from any Slayer master. The cave horror will use a scream attack which WILL NOT reduce a player's stats, but rather deal damage to a player based upon their Hitpoints level. Damage calculation (player's HP level/10) rounded down to the lowest integer. However, the witchwood icon is NOT necessary when fighting them from a distance or when using the Protect from Melee prayer, so a better amulet may be used instead. Since cave horrors are wider than one square, a dragon halberd or a crystal halberd can be very useful as a special attack weapon, and can sometimes be used in the right areas to safespot the cave horrors behind the mushrooms, stalagmites, and boulders.
Note: It is advisable to keep the witchwood icon in case of a close combat encounter.
