Creature Creation is a solo activity that involves creating unique hybrid monsters and killing them for their drops. It can be found in the Tower of Life dungeon after completing the Tower of Life quest. A trapdoor on the ground floor of the tower leads to the dungeon.

This activity is typically utilised to source Herblore secondary ingredients, including unicorn horns for unicorn horn dust and red spiders' eggs quickly.

The Builder's costume is not required to enter the tower once the quest has been completed.

A Dwarf multicannon can be used here.

There are six Altars of Life, each dedicated to a different hybrid monster. Placing one each of two ingredients at the correct altar primes the altar. Noted items cannot be used as ingredients. The primed altar must be activated to create the mixed creature. All but one of the monsters in turn drop one of their ingredients, which makes continuous creation easier; however, after completion of the easy and medium Ardougne Diaries, these drops will be noted. The monsters occasionally also drop various types of satchels (the colour depends on the creature) and tea flasks. The satchels are held in the shield slot and can hold one triangle sandwich, one cake, and one banana. The tea flasks can hold the contents of up to five cups of tea.

Players use several items to create the monsters:

• Eye of newt. These are purchasable for 3 coins each at Herblore shops or the Port Sarim magic shop, either individually or in packs of 100.
• Feathers. These can be obtained by killing chickens, which can be found on many farms throughout Gielinor or purchased at any Fishing Shop for 2 coins each individually or in packs of 100.
• Raw jubbly. These can be obtained by hunting Jubbly birds. The ability to hunt them requires the completion of a considerable amount of the Recipe for Disaster quest.
• Raw lobster. Lobsters can be caught using the Fishing skill.
• Raw sardine. Sardines can be caught using the Fishing skill. Some fishing shops sell sardines (You can buy these in Rellekka and quickly deposit them at Peer the Seer with completion of the Fremennik Easy Diary).
• Red spiders' eggs. These can be gathered in places inhabited by deadly red spiders. The spider chamber in the wilderness section of the Edgeville Dungeon has several egg spawns.
• Raw swordfish. Swordfish can be caught using the Fishing skill.
• Raw chicken. These can be obtained by killing chickens.
• Giant frog legs. Theses are dropped by Giant frogs, which inhabit the Lumbridge Swamp Caves.
• Raw cave eel. Cave eels inhabit the Lumbridge Swamp Caves and can be caught using the Fishing skill.
• Unicorn horn. Unicorns can be slain for their horns. Unicorns can be found near Varrock, Edgeville, Rellekka, and south of the Woodcutting Guild in small numbers. Larger herds of black unicorns can be found in the Wilderness, but beware of player killers.
• Cowhide. Cows can be killed for their hides and are found at many farms.

• For players who have not completed the Easy Ardougne Diary, when killing the creatures to get the 'ingredient drops', bring one of the ingredient that is always dropped and several of the other ingredient. This allows the altar to be used multiple times in one trip. For efficiency, the goal is to fill inventory as much as practical with the desired item. Use trial and error to determine how many of the always-consumed ingredient to bring. (This method does not work with swordchicks, since they do not drop raw chickens.)
• For more efficiency and convenience, before leaving the dungeon, prime the altar with both ingredients without activating the altar. The items will still be present when the player returns, allowing the altar to be activated, no matter how long a time the player is away. This method is particularly recommended for forgetful players who might forget to take the 'single' item (for example, the player brought a load of cow hides but not one unicorn horn).
• The spidine, which requires red spider eggs and raw sardines, is useful as it drops red spider eggs in larger numbers (3-5). Use Ishmael's Fish He Sells in the Ruins of Unkah to stock up on raw sardines. One raw sardine will yield about 3.5 red spider's eggs on average. It takes around 8 raw sardines to collect a full load of red spider eggs.
• The unicow is perhaps the fastest method in the game to obtain unicorn horns in quantity without spending money. Kill some cows close to a bank and bank the cow hides (or buy cowhides). There is a cow pen just north of the Ardougne market outside the city walls. Each cowhide creates one unicow, which drops 2 to 4 unicorn horns. However, you will need one of the horns to make the next unicow, so bring lots of cow hides to get a full inventory of unicorn horns. It typically takes 10-13 cow hides to get a full inventory of unicorn horns.
• The different levels of the Ardougne Diary cause some of the drops from the creatures to be noted. This may mean that you are unable to re-use drops to summon the creatures again. However, the Ardougne south bank is not too far away.
• It is possible to find ranged/magic safespots, although it may be impractical to do so most of the time.

• A Homunculus was a mythological creature said to be created by using Alchemy to combine parts of different animals to create a hybrid. They were said to be human-like in manner and appearance but lacked a soul.
