However, only the boss variant drops the Smoke battlestaff .

25 June 2025 Update )
Smoke devils now have a 30% elemental weakness to air spells .
The smoke devil was first added to the game on 26 January 2005 under the name Smokedevil , described as "The cave-dwelling cousin of the dust devils. " Unlike the dust devil, it was not made accessible to players with the release of the Smoke Dungeon .
In RuneScape 3 , smoke devils are familiars that require a Summoning level of 61 to use. The smoke devil in Old School RuneScape shares the same model before its graphical update in 2014.
