Hermod summons armoured phantoms, and looks like an armoured phantom. He is the spirit of war who leads all other armoured phantoms, but neither he nor his summons count towards armoured phantom kill count on a slayer task. Feels like this might have just been missed, and could be easily fixed by our resident ninjas!
External link →Hey! Tis a pretty good point, strictly speaking the armoured phantoms / bound skeletons / fetid zombies are intended purely to be 'the npcs north of fort'
In dev they were called Zemouregals Phantom, Skeleton etc but it was weird to have them named that before you saw Zemouregal, though that name is probably more appropriate.
When we made those however we did add clusters for 'phantoms' similar to tasks that are just 'ghosts' / 'zombies' / 'skeletons' but there simply wasn't enough phantoms in game to justify enabling the task.
If/when we get some more in-game we can absolutely enable it which I would assume would encompass hermod too.
TLDR: Hermod is a phantom (i think). Armored phantoms is a bad name, but refers to Zemouregals ones. 'Phantom' slayer tasks may very well get added in the future.
