Summoning a pet

A pet is a non-combat non-player character loyal to a player that follows behind the player as they move around the game world. Players can manage pets while active through the familiar interface, by using food on them, by left-clicking, and with direct interaction by right-clicking. Most pets do not serve a purpose other than decoration; however, some pets, especially Legendary Pets, have other additional benefits. A player may only have one pet, familiar, or other non-player character (e.g. Zanik, the Zanaris choir) following them at one time.

Most pets are now accessed and customised through the pet interface, with the exception of Object Pets. This interface can be accessed via two ways: by right-clicking the summoning icon on the action bar and selecting "pet interface," or by opening the customisations interface and selecting the "pets" tab. Pets can also be summoned without entering the pet interface by right-clicking the summoning icon on the action bar and selecting "summon pet."

Players can store up to 30 pets in the menagerie of a player-owned house (with the highest-level pet houses). Unlike familiars, pets may be brought into Summoning-free zones.

Types of pets

The Pets interface

Pets are primarily divided into one of the following categories:

• Object Pets, which may be stored in the bank or inventory, and follow the player when dropped. Many of these pets must be fed a certain type of food and require a player to raise them to maturity by having it follow them.
• Legendary Pets, which are stored in the Pets Interface and provide a variety of gameplay benefits, including automatically looting certain drops for the player. These pets are primarily obtained via the Marketplace, Solomon's General Store, or the Oddments Shop and must be raised to maturity much like Object Pets.
• Companion Pets, which are stored in the Pets Interface and are able to cosmetically override Familiars and Legendary Pets in addition to following the player themselves.
• Follower Pets, which are also stored in the Pets Interface but cannot override Familiars or Legendary Pets.
• Boss Pets, which are Companion Pets primarily obtained as a rare drop from killing their respective boss.
• Skilling Pets, which are Companion Pets obtained randomly while training their respective skill.

Caring for object pets and legendary pets

When Object Pets and Legendary Pets are first obtained they will be in their lowest growth stage and will grow as the pet follows the player.

A player can monitor a pet's growth and hunger in the Summoning menu. Younger pets become hungrier faster than their adult counterparts, but the frequency of feeding does not affect a pet's growth rate. At 100% growth, the pet matures into its next form. Pets can have up to three growth stages.

Kittens must be stroked and fed regularly or they run away. Once they reach adult stage, they no longer need to be fed.

Legendary pets can be interacted with and fed special types of food obtained from Solomon's General Store which speeds up their growth significantly. These pets will not run away from the player even if they are not fed.

Pets that hatch from eggs need to be incubated before they hatch, which requires them to be placed in an egg incubator found in the pet shops in Taverley and Yanille. Players receive a chat box notification when the egg has hatched. Any pet hatched in an incubator remains there until the player chooses to retrieve it.

If an object pet is lost, such as when a player's membership expires, it may be reclaimed by talking to the pet shop owner in Taverley and Yanille and asking "Do you have any strays?"

Speaking with pets using the Summoning skill

A baby blue dragon, available with level 99 Summoning

For pets that require the Summoning skill, a player may speak with a pet once they are 10 or more Summoning levels above the required Summoning level to obtain that pet. Communication with pets above the level of 90 is possible: the monkey can be spoken to if the player wears the monkeyspeak amulet from Monkey Madness, and the TzRek-Jad is naturally capable of speech. Players with 99 Summoning can communicate with a chameleon after using the cape's right click "boost" option to temporarily achieve level 100 Summoning, and they can also communicate with a baby dragon by using the stats power-up in a Clan Citadel battlefield to boost Summoning from 99 to 109.

Object pets

These pets exist as objects. When dropped, they follow the player. If a player dies while their pet is following them, it disappears and the player may need to find a new one.

Trivia

• When pets were first released, many players complained that pets still required food even when fully grown, unlike the cats, which required no feeding once a kitten had grown up. This was explained as stress on the server as having a pet or familiar out all the time would inevitably slow them down. This is also the reason why timers are implemented and no familiars are visible in high player density areas such as the Grand Exchange. Pets being high maintenance was too much bother to some players that would likely have the ability to own the higher level pets and wouldn't consider keeping them out other than for passive activities. This was especially true for pets with non-stackable food of which is currently the majority. Familiars however filled the gap that many thought pets would take, as skill/combat aids and beasts of burden, leaving pets largely ignored for lack of any ability.
• Initially, players could not have mature god birds of differing gods. God bird ownership was initially limited to one bird for a time, but with the introduction of the menagerie, it became possible to own all three God birds at once.
• Zamorak hawks and Saradomin owls prevent warriors from said allegiances attacking you while in the God Wars Dungeon. This can be extremely useful for players who do not wish to be forced to wear a particular armour showing allegiance to said groups.
• Eek, the reward for completing the 2009 Halloween event, could be considered the first pet allowed to non-members. However, because Eek won't follow you, she could be considered similar to a pet rock or pet fish. Eek can also be put into the menagerie, where the player has the option to 'Interact' with her, resulting in the same dialogue.
  • Eek also became the first F2P pet in OSRS as well, after the release of the 2018 Halloween event.
• Players originally had a limit on the number of pets they could own. This started with 2 pets of different types at level 1 Summoning, along with 2 more for every ten levels starting at level 11. However, the limit on different types of pets was removed on 16 January 2012.
• Prior to the introduction of Summoning, the only pets in Gielinor were cats, fish and pet rocks.
• On 5 December 2016, a bug allowed multiple pets to be summonable. A hotfix made right-clicking pets without owners to be deleted.[1]
• The pet name "Nuke" may be a reference to the pet cat in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
• When attempting to rename or recolour an interface pet while the options are locked for them the messages "This pet can not be renamed." and "This pet cannot be recoloured" will respectively be shown in the chatbox. These messages can only be seen through exploiting a bug in the Customisations interface.
