A ravenous locust is a remote view familiar summoned by a ravenous locust pouch. It requires level 70 Summoning to summon.

Interacting with the ravenous locust will provide an option to use its remote view ability.

The familiar can cast the special move by consuming a Ravenous Locust scroll (Famine), which consumes a piece of the target player's food.

Remote view

The player can interact with the Ravenous locust to use its remote view ability. The Ravenous locust will fly into the air allowing the player to see through its eyes, providing the player the ability to see things farther away and to scope out areas safely. If the interact option is not available, it has to be enabled within the settings (Settings -> Gameplay -> Skills & Experience -> Summoning > Uncheck the Hide familiar options).

Trivia

During remote view, its examine information changes to "If it starts drooling, people will think it is raining".
If you activate remote view while the Ravenous Locust familiar is at low life points, it gets fully healed.
The dialogue is a possible reference to the 1960s anti-war slogan "make love, not war".
