Pets are unlockables which give permanent bonuses.

Pets are not items and will not appear in the bank. Instead, all acquired pets can be seen within the Pets section of the Completion Log, and will also appear in the skilling minibar if acquired from a specific non-combat skill.

Once a pet is acquired its effect is permanently active and cannot be turned off.

Acquiring Pets

Skill Pets

There is a pet for each of the skills in the game. The Chance to acquire a Pet on any given action of a Skill is:

[math]\displaystyle{ \dfrac{\text{Time required for action (seconds)} \times \left ( \text{Virtual level of Skill} + 1 \right )}{25\;000\;000} }[/math]

For example, a player with level 99 Crafting who has unlocked Perpetual Haste and is wearing the Crafting Skillcape will take 1.9 seconds to complete an action, which means each action will give a [math]\displaystyle{ \tfrac{1.9 \times (99 + 1)}{25,000,000} = 0.0000076= 0.00076\text{%} }[/math] chance to earn Caaarrrlll.

For combat an action is an attack. For Slayer, an action is an attack against the player's current Slayer task. For special attacks or spells which perform consecutive hits, the action time is the duration between the current hit and the previous hit, not the attack speed displayed within the Combat UI.

Larry, the Lonely Lizard works slightly differently: Larry is rolled when crops are harvested. The chance formula used is unique to Larry, as explained here.

It is possible to acquire a Pet Offline.

Boss Pets

Each time the player completes a dungeon, they have a chance to receive the Boss Pet for that dungeon. The chance to receive the pet depends on the dungeon:

  • For the lower level dungeons ( Chicken Coop up to Dragons Den) the chance to receive a pet is 1-in-350.
  • For Volcanic Cave and Infernal Stronghold the chance to receive a pet is 1-in-200
  • For the God Dungeons, the chance to receive a pet is 1-in-150
  • For Into the Mist, the chance of receiving the pet is not random. Instead, the player is guaranteed to unlock the pet after completing the dungeon five times.

Other Pets

There are a few pets that don't fall into the other categories:
