The ferocious gloves are a pair of melee-focused gloves requiring level 80 Attack and Defence to equip. They are obtained as a rare drop from the Alchemical Hydra (in the form of Hydra leather) and are the best-in-slot offensive gloves for melee users, surpassing Barrows gloves. However, they do not offer any defensive stats and provide negative ranged and magic attack bonuses, making them less effective when multiple attack styles are used.

The Hydra leather used to make them is tradeable, and must be taken to the Lithkren Vault (requiring completion of Dragon Slayer II) to be made into the gloves. To make the gloves, a player should take a hammer along with the Hydra leather and investigate the machinery just south-west of the large pool up north.

Should the player wish to sell the gloves, they can use the same machinery used to make the gloves, including a hammer, to revert it to a piece of Hydra leather. When this occurs, the chatbox message states By feeding the gloves through the machine, you manage to revert them into leather.
