Rocky is the skilling pet obtainable from Mining. He is unlocked by inspecting Rocky pet. Rocky can be unlocked by mining essence, ores, normal, red and crystal-flecked sandstone, Seren stones, Lava Flow, granite, fallen stars and crablets.

When a player obtains the pet, they receive one of the following messages:

While skilling, you find Rocky, the Mining pet. It has been added to your inventory.

While skilling, you find Rocky, the Mining pet. However, you do not have enough inventory space, so it has been sent to your bank.

Smithy reveals that Rocky is related to Gemi and him, and that during Wintumber they meet up and wrestle.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Rocky is a common nickname. Here it is a pun on the adjective rocky.
The examine is a pun, referring to looking at him in awe, when his examine is pronounced with an English accent.
One of his dialogue options references the Marvel superhero The Thing; The Thing's combat catchphrase is "It's clobberin' time!" and Rocky says "It's smashing time!" Additionally, they both fight using their fists and are beings comprised of stone.
Another one of his dialogue options is a reference to Rocky movies. In Rocky Balboa (2006), Rocky says "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows" and "it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" The skilling pet Rocky and the player's dialogue mirror this.
Rocky's model is similar to that of Smithy and Gemi.
