'''Skotizo''' is a demonic boss located beneath the [[Catacombs of Kourend]]. Accessing his lair requires the use of a [[dark totem]] on the altar found in the centre of the Catacombs; one dark totem permits only one attempt, which makes him a [[Sporadic bosses|sporadic boss]].

He is primarily known for his guaranteed [[Clue scroll (hard)|hard clue scroll]] drops, along with a very high chance of [[Clue scroll (elite)|elite clue scrolls]].

Skotizo can be substituted for both [[Black demon]] and [[Greater demon]] kills during Slayer tasks. Skotizo's Lair is part of the Catacombs of Kourend, and '''does''' count as such for the purpose of Konar slayer tasks. He cannot be damaged with a [[ring of recoil]].

==History==
Skotizo was a general of [[Zamorak]] during the [[God Wars]], but he was often outshined by Zamorak's more notable generals, such as [[Thammaron]] and [[K'ril Tsutsaroth]]. He is also [[Zalcano]]'s brother.

After the cunning he and his soldiers showed at the Battle of [[Carrallanger]], Zamorak personally gave them their next mission, something he rarely did. The mission was to lead an expedition to recover a certain artefact in the [[Karamjan Temple]] found within the [[Kharazi Jungle]]. Skotizo was delighted by being assigned the mission and set out as soon as possible to please his god.

Reaching the Temple after a few days, Skotizo and his squad had managed to reach the Temple's centre after navigating a large maze. Now in possession of the artefact, Skotizo betrayed his squad, taking the artefact's power for himself and decimating the expedition team. This resulted in a furious Zamorak placing responsibility on Zalcano, inflicting a curse that would slowly turn her into stone until she could bring him before her god to face retribution.

Skotizo managed to avoid Zamorak's wrath during this time and discovered [[Great Kourend]] to the far west, while his sister believed that he had fled to the lands of [[Tirannwn]]. Using the power of the artefact, Skotizo managed to call a large amount of creatures to his side and set up in Kourend's underground, now the present-day [[Catacombs of Kourend]]. His arrival was noted by the [[Dragonkin]] [[Karuulm]], though he had opted to avoid confrontation and left Skotizo alone, who was likely unaware of his presence. Roughly 200 years after the end of a civil war in Kourend, Skotizo encountered a human adventurer in his chamber who was investigating mysterious disappearances, and slew them.

Ranging is recommended over melee with a [[twisted bow]]. Other ranged weapons are less effective than [[arclight]], but may alternatively be used by [[pure]]s or to take no damage from Skotizo's melee attacks.
