Gods | Bosses | Dragonkin | Mahjarrat | Pets | Misthalin (Lumbridge | Varrock)
As with many Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, RuneScape possesses a large number of pets the player can keep. The pets can be separated into two groups. The first group are the interface pets, which can only be accessed through the game's customization interface. The second group are the object pets, which exist in the game as objects and usually when dropped by the player will proceed to follow them.
- A Dog Named "Dog": Many pets don't have real names, with Lazy/Wily Cats and the Baby Troll being notable exceptions. Many Companion and Legendary also avert this through the Pet Interface.
- Actual Pacifist: Just barely subverted, since aside from cats; who can only attack rats, and Legendary pets with the ability Slayer Finisher active, pets can't fight at all.
- All Animals Are Domesticated: All pets are fully domesticated and safe for the player to have.
- Gratuitous Animal Sidekick: Who would expect an adventuring hero to travel around with kittens, puppies, chicks and other baby or otherwise cute animals?
- Non Human Side Kick: Self explanatory since these are your pets.
- Pet Interface: The interface pets which can be found in these categories Follower, Companion, Legendary, Boss and Skilling.
- Undying Loyalty: No matter what the pet's alignment is, they are nothing, but loyal to the player.
- Extreme Omnivore: Legendary pets with the ability Fertiliser can spawn Mod Daze's homework or Mod Dolan's rubber duck along with the usual droppings, suggesting that the players pet has previously eaten said objects.
- Finishing Move: Legendary pets with the ability Slayer Finisher active can finish off slayer monsters for the player. This means that Legendary pets can subvert the Actual Pacifist trope as seen in the above folder.
- Lots of Luggage: Downplayed, Legendary pets with the ability Beast of Burden active can carry items for the player. How much it can carry depends on which familiar pouch; of a familiar also with the ability, is used on it.
- Solid Gold Poop: Legendary pets with the ability Fertiliser can spawn droppings, which can be turned into compost or super compost if they're on a member's world.
Boss Pets
- Cosmetic Award: Once unlocked a Boss Pet can be used as a skin for a familiar. If a Boss Pet that was gained through killing a boss is used for this a killcount will be shown when examined, along with the familiar's regular examine text.
- Shout-Out: When the Boss Pets were first released players got one to Pokémon in their chatbox.
A miniature version of Commander Zilyana, which can be unlocked from a Auburn Lock.
- Church Militant: Appears to be one unsurprisingly since she's a miniature version of Zilyana, though it's unclear if she actually is one.
- Cool Sword: Much like Commander Zilyana, Miniana's sword's hilt is made to look like Saradomin's symbol.
- Our Angels Are Different: Is a member of the Icyene, which serves as the RuneScape equivalent to angels.
A Boss Pet that can be obtained by using the Ancient Artefact drop from Vorago. Players can change it's colornote by interacting with it.
- Rock Monster: The Bombi is little more than a floating rocks.
- The Speechless: Unlike Vorago the Bombi can't talk.

- Noisy Duck: They get very loud and excitable in most conversations the player can have with them.
- Pun: Players will get some from your character during one conversation with them.

- Trademark Favorite Food: It's implied to be bread.
Cats

- Cats Are Snarkers: Though you'd need a Catspeak amulet to hear it.Player: How am I going to get you back in shape if all you want to do is sleep?Cat: Surgery. That's the answer to all of our problems.
- Cosmetically Different Sides: Despite appearances note , dialogue and origins all cats function the same way.
- Disappeared Dad: Possibly a Downplayed, since it's clear that though Bob wasn't there to help Fluffs raise their kittens, your cat clearly knows their relationship to him and vice versa suggesting that Bob spent at least a little time with his kittens.
- Famous Ancestor: Though you don't initially know it you can rather easily find out that your cat's father is none other than Bob The Jagex Cat.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: If your cats out while you're wearing a Catspeak amulet and you speak to Bob the Jagex Cat it's revealed in the dialogue that Bob is your cat's father.

- You Are Who You Eat: Though not confirmed, the possibility of this being how the hellrats turn a regular cat into a hellcats makes a lot of sense.
A cat that was turned purple. Can be gain by completing the "Purple Cat" mini miniquest.
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: A purple cat.
- Cats Are Magic: Just barely qualifies since it owes the color of it's fur to a magic potion, appropriately named the "Magic unguent".

All pets have a pickup option, identical in spelling to the pickup item option. The pickup option was originally visible to all players, even those who didn't own the pet, though the option wouldn't do anything for them.

A rare prize from the Squeal Of Fortune and later Treasure Hunter once it was removed. Not much is known about the Tumbleweed's history, but some removed examine text suggests it likes the player's jokes.
Originally the Tumbleweed was as object based pet, but in late May 2016 the Tumbleweed was converted into a Follower interface pet.
- Actually Pretty Funny: Its examine text in the player's inventory; back when it was a object pet, suggests this.
- Not-So-Imaginary Friend: The Tumbleweed may be this mixed with Real After All if the Player Character's dialogue is any indication since the Tumbleweed is apparently capable of surprise. Though the Player Character could just be a Cloud Cuckoo Lander and imagined it.Tumbleweed: "…!"Player: "Oh Tumbleweed, there's bits of you all over the place. I'm going to have to train you better."Tumbleweed: "..."Player: "It's too late to say sorry now; you've already made the mess."
- Real After All: See Not-So-Imaginary Friend above.
- Temporary Online Content: Can no longer be gained in the game.
- The Voiceless: It's just some tumbleweed, though the play can have conversations with it.
