Do defensive bonuses make any difference against Tar Monsters?

I'm cutting Sculliusceps to train woodcutting, and the main issue I'm running into right now is dealing with the damage from Tar Monsters. The wiki says they deal typeless ranged damage. What does this mean with respect to defensive bonuses? Do their attacks just ignore protection prayers, or do they also ignore defensive bonuses?
