Trivia

• The "Slayer" title is unrelated to this category; it is awarded for completing the Slayer achievement in the PvP Conqueror category.
• Some creatures appear not to belong to any group. A lot of non-charmable animals like Stags or Moas don't count for any achievement.
  • Killing any white tagged creatures, such as Sockeye Salmon in the Eastern Divinity Dam area, count towards the Indiscriminate Slayer track.
• Some creatures belong in strange or non-intuitive groups. For example:
  • Creatures inside a dungeon tend to count towards a single group based on the theme of the dungeon and not what they may count towards in the open world, such as, Ascalonian Catacombs are considered Ghosts or Twilight Arbor are considered Nightmare Court.
  • Most ghost pirates are considered just Pirate, not Ghost.
  • Pinipal found in portions of the Shiverpeak Mountains count as Griffons.
  • Grubs count toward the Wurm Slayer achievement.
• Most of the achievements contain "Slayer" in their name, but the ones that require killing enemies of the 5 playable races have "Bane" in their names. Ghost Buster is another exception to the "Slayer" rule.
• Most titles or descriptions contain references:
  • Drake Slayer's description is a reference to the Nightfall quest Drakes on the Plain which in turn is a reference to the movie Snakes on a Plane.
  • Ghost Buster is a reference to the movie Ghostbusters.
  • Skelk Slayer's description is a reference to "The Most Dangerous Game".
  • Krait Slayer's description is a reference to the movie Jaws.
  • Minotaur Slayer's description is a reference to the quote by Duke Nukem from the game Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project "Half man, half animal, all dead".
  • Griffon Slayer's description is likely a reference to the 55hp Monk build during Prophecies, when Griffons were killed in great quantities by players.
  • Sons of Svanir's Bane's description is a reference to a quote attributed to US Army general Philip Sheridan, and the thousands of variations that have appeared in the hundred and forty odd years since.
