Summoning Pet Guide - [Calling all 95+ Summoners!]

All pets in this guide require the completion of Wolf Whistle in order to raise, along with their other requirements. You may only have ONE of any kind of pet at a time, and like all Summoning pets, they require constant feeding, even after they grow into adults.

It should be noted that the number of pets you can own at any one time is dependent on your Summoning level. With every 10 levels you gain, you may keep an additional 1 pet.

Levels 1 - 10 = 2 pets

Levels 11 - 20 = 4 pets

Levels 21 - 30 = 6 pets

Levels 31 - 40 = 8 pets

Levels 41 - 50 = 10 pets

Levels 51 - 60 = 12 pets

Levels 61 - 70 = 14 pets

Levels 71 - 80 = 16 pets

Levels 81 - 90 = 18 pets

Levels 91 - 99 = 20 pets

Both versions of the phoenix eggling will not count towards your pet limit.

With this limit on pets, at 91 and above Summoning you will able to have one of every single pet currently in the game.

This guide is MAINLY to see what the various pets and their colours are ingame.

DOGS

There are six different breeds of dogs that can be raised immediately after the completion of Wolf Whistle. All six breeds have three possible colours. These dogs eat any kind of raw meat with the exception of fish. Despite the clear fact that all these dogs are very different, they are all housed under the tier of "dog" this being so, you may only own ONE of the six breeds at any one time.

Summoning Req: 4

Other Req: NONE

Talking info: 14 Summoning

Additional info: Puppies may be purchased from any Pet store for the "steep" price of 500gp. Unlike cats, the colour you receive is random, even with the Ring of Charos.

The breeds of dogs, both puppy and full grown, along with the three colour variations are as follows.

BULLDOG

DALMATION

GREYHOUND

LABRADOR

SHEEPDOG

TERRIER

SLAYER PETS

With the addition of the mini-game Soul Wars, Slayers gained the ability to trade in Slayer trophies and zeal points for a Summoning pet version of the trophy turned in. All Slayer trophies with the exception of the King Black Dragon and the Kahlphite Queen are able to be exchanged for pets. Similar to the Raven (mentioned later) these pets are somewhat 'skill exclusive' as the only way to get them is via Slayer. Slayer pets count as their own unique pet, being that, one could (if they wanted) have all five.

CREEPING HAND

The creeping hand is the Slayer pet with the lowest requirements. It does not grow so once you get it it will be at the same size it will always be. Despite not having a mouth, the creeping hand is still able to indulge on it's favourite food, leather gloves.

Summoning Req: 4

Other Req: 5 Slayer, ability to attain a Crawling hand and 5 Soul Wars zeal points.

Talking info: 14 Summoning

Additional info: The crawling hand item can be obtained from any of the various 'Hand' creatures, their levels range from 7 to 90. They are located in the Canfis Slayer tower or the Blood Altar tunnels.

The creeping hand has one possible colour.

MINITRICE

Next up in the Slayer pet area, the minitrice, which as you may expect is the pet version of the cockatrice. The minitrice will remain mini for it's whole life and never grow. Minitrice are fed on one of the cockatrice's most notable drops; limpwurt roots.

Summoning Req: 4

Other Req: 25 Slayer, ability to attain a Cockatrice head and 25 Soul Wars zeal points.

Talking info: 14 Summoning

Additional info: Cockatrice are located in the Fremennik Slayer dungeon.

The minitrice has one possible colour.

BABY BASILISK

Continuing our climb up the Slayer pet chain, the baby basilisk is next up. If you haven't caught the pattern by now... the baby basilisk remains a baby, forever. It will never grow up. This baby is fed the eyes of newts.

Summoning Req: 4

Other Req: 40 Slayer, ability to attain a Basilisk head and 40 Soul Wars zeal points.

Talking info: 14 Summoning

Additional info: Basilisks are found in either the Fremennik Slayer dungeon or down the Smokey Well.

The baby basilisk comes in one colour.

BABY KURASK

The baby kurask is the second highest Slayer pet. As every other Slayer pet, it does not grow. This vicious baby is fed on a diet of bones. Normal bones only, not big, dragon or any other variation.

Summoning Req: 4

Other Req: 70 Slayer, ability to attain a Kurask head and 70 Soul Wars zeal points.

Talking info: 14 Summoning

Additional info: Basilisks are found in either the Fremennik Slayer dungeon or down the Smokey Well.

The kurask pet comes in a single colour.

ABYSSAL MINION

The Slayer pet to end them all. The abyssal minion, as you might expect, is the pet version of the legendary Abyssal demon. This pet of the abyss does not grow and eats ashes. If the ashes come from other demons then this pet is a cannibal. :ohnoes: The rumours about this pet are in fact true. It does give free abyssal whips to it's owner. :-$

Summoning Req: 4

Other Req: 85 Slayer, ability to attain an Abyssal head and 85 Soul Wars zeal points.

Talking info: 14 Summoning

Additional info: Abyssal demons can be found in the Canfis Slayer tower or in Abyssal Space.

This pet comes in one colour.

GECKO

The gecko is the next pet available to fledgling Summoners who do not wish to partake in Soul Wars or do not have a trophy to exchange. The gecko comes in five different colour combinations. Geckos only eat flies as a baby, but when the gecko grows into an adult it will be able to eat beetle bits in addition to flies.

Summoning Req: 10

Other Req: 27 Hunter

Talking info: 20 Summoning

Additional info: Geckos are box trap (no bait required) at various Hunting areas across Karamja.

The colour combinations of geckos are as follows.

NOTE: The brown and orange gecko look nearly identical on low detail. For this reason, the brown gecko is shown in high detail. Click on the high detail picture to see the low detailed version.

PLATYPUS

The platypus is another pet available to low level Summoners, and is the first pet in the guide that requires an additional quest in order to raise. While the platypus is a baby it will eat either raw fish or ground fishing bait. As an adult it will continue to eat raw fish but will now only eat normal fishing bait as opposed to ground. This duck billed, egg laying mammal comes in three different colours.

Summoning Req: 10

Other Req: As a First Resort... complete.

Talking info: 20 Summoning

Additional info: Platypi are box trapped (lured with smouldering lavender) outside of Oo'glog

The colour variations are as follows.

BROAV

The broav is a little piggy of a pet, and it used briefly in the quest "While Guthix Sleeps" When the broav is captured it is in it's final state, it will never grow. The broav has a diet of Mort Myre Mushrooms. It only has one possible colour.

Summoning Req: 21

Other Req: While Guthix Sleeps started.

Additional info: The broav is... trapped in a big hole with a Mort Myre Mushroom. Once trapped, take it to a Hunting Expert and she will key it for you.

Talking info: 31 Summoning

PENGUIN

This cold bird a relatively simple and easy going pet, they all are, aren't they? This is the first bird pet and will require the egg to be incubated at a Pet shop. The penguin's diet, both baby and adult, is raw fish. This antarctic pet comes in 3 different colours. If an adult penguin is taken to various snowy locations in Runescape, it will slide on it's stomach sometimes.

Summoning Req: 30

Other Req: NONE

Talking info: 40 Summoning

Additional info: Penguin egg obtained at Ardougne Zoo.

The different colours of this pet are as follows.

GIANT CRAB

Ahh... the giant crab. It is what it sounds like, a giant crab. Like the penguin, this large crustacean has a diet of raw fish as both a baby and an adult. This pet comes in a total of five different colours for you picking. Also, if you talk with your giant crab while wearing a crab claw and/or crab helmet you will have an "easter egg" conversation in which your crab will deny it has a weak point that can be hit for massive damage. :-$

Summoning Req: 40

Other Req: Recipe For Disaster - Pirate Pete started, 32 Slayer and Morges unlocked.

Talking info: 50 Summoning

Additional info: Kill Mogres until a Crunchy claw token is dropped. Take this token to Nung at the crab pen and exchange it for your very own giant crab pet.

The various colours of this pet are as follows.

RAVEN

To some, the most elusive of all pets. The much sought after Raven is, like most birds, fed on a diet of fishing bait. Ground as a baby but un-ground as an adult. Like almost every bird, the egg must be incubated in a Pet shop. This dark bird comes in a total of three colours, each with two variations, in the form of a plumage.

Summoning Req: 50

Other Req: NONE

Talking info: 60 Summoning

Additional info: The Raven's egg is obtained via bird nest. Unlike pets covered later, the Raven egg is NOT gotten via the Kingdom of Miscellania OR Wyson the Gardener.

The different colours are as follows.

[RA 4]

[RA 5]

SQUIRREL

The furry nut thief itself. The playful little squirrel can be yours should you choose. If you do take a squirrel to be your own, you will be feeding it nuts, and lots of them. In fact, they are currently the only pet that eats nuts, the diet from baby to adult does not change. These furry little critters come in five colours.

Summoning Req: 60

Other Req: 29 Hunter

Talking info: 70 Summoning

Additional info: Net trapped (nuts as bait) at various Hunter spots across the world.

The colours of the furry friends are as follows.

GOD BIRDS

The answer to the long asked egg question. God birds, as you might expect, repressent the three major gods of Runescape. Saradomin, Guthix and Zamorak. The god birds are currently the only pet to have more than one growing stage. The chick stage is fed on ground fishing bait while the bird (middle) and adult stages eat normal ground bait. The colour of your bird egg will determine what bird hatches. Blue for the Saradomin Owl, green for the Guthix Raptor, and red for the Zamorak Hawk. These eggs, as you might expect, are hatched in a Pet shop incubator. These pets have one possible colour PER god, however, like dogs, they are all considered god birds. That being said, only one of these birds can be owned at a time. HOWEVER. Prior to Summoning: Batch Two, players were able to hatch one bird of each god. On March 17th of 2009, over a year after the release of Summoning and these pets, God Birds gained the ability to "protect" you at God Wars Dungeon, effectivly replacing a Zamorak or Saradomin item in your setup, while not that amazing for boss hunting, it can prove useful for those who hunt Aviansie and Spiritual Mages.

Summoning Req: 70

Other Req: NONE

Talking info: 80 Summoning

Additional info: Eggs are obtained via bird's nest found from Woodcutting OR the Kingdom of Miscellania but NOT Wyson the Gardener.

SARADOMIN OWL

GUTHIX RAPTOR

ZAMORAK HAWK

EX-EX-PARROT

"He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!" That however, is only an ex-parrot. What we've got here is an ex-ex-parrot. Which is, a parrot that died, and has been brought back to life. In short; a zombie parrot. This unique pet has a diet of rocks, which are cut from a large rock slab found in the jungles of Mos Le'Harmless. The parrot never grows and only has one possible colour.

Summoning Req: 71

Other Req: Rocking Out complete

Talking info: 71 (None)

Additional info: Speak to Bill Tech after completing the quest to get a magical cage, then speak to 50 Ships Mufasa to get your hands on an ex-parrot. Place the ex-parrot in the cage and take it to the stone slap outside of the Cave Horror's cave. Use said parrot + cage combo on this slab and TA DA! Take some time here to chisel some food off the slab for your parrot.

Stone Slab location

PHOENIX EGGLING

Great bird of fire! That's this pet alright. This unique pet is obtained in an unique way. Via the Distraction and Diversions mini-game: Phoenix's Lair. Due to the nature of this game you only have one chance to get this pet every 24 hours. Also, due to how new this is, the rarity of this pet is also unknown. The phoenix eggling eats ashes. That's right, ashes. While the phoenix may never grow up, there are two variations of this pet. The cute phoenix and the mean phoenix. There is only one possible colour combination for both cute and mean phoenixes.

Summoning Req: 72

Other Req: In Pyre Need complete and 51 Slayer

Talking info: 82 Summoning

Additional info: When you randomly stumble upon the phoenix egg you will able to either clap at the egg or kick the egg. Clapping at it will gain you a cute phoenix and kicking it, a mean one. Jagex states that players may have BOTH versions of the phoenix at one time.

CUTE PHOENIX

MEAN PHOENIX

RACCOON

The raccoon is the first pet you can get that requires more than one million Summoning experience. It's also a pretty cool pet in my opinion. With it's skillful paws and natural mask, it's the must have pet for any thief. Should you task yourself with getting a 'coon of your own you'll want to stock up on raw fish, raw meat or any combination of the two. This pet comes in a total of three colours.

Summoning Req: 80

Other Req: 27 Hunter

Talking info: 90 Summoning

Additional info: Take a box trap (no bait required) and set it up among the baby raccoons, one will wander in to investigate.

The colours of the raccoons are as follow.

VULTURE

The vulture is the final bird you'll be raising. The vulture is also a pet not often seen for whatever reason, be it the level, it's looks, or most high level summoners don't use pets. As almost all previous birds, the egg is hatched in the incubator of the pet store. The baby eats ground fishing bait and the adult eats normal fishing bait. The vulture comes in three different colours with two variations per colour, in the form of tipped or non-tipped beaks.

Summoning Req: 85

Other Req: NONE

Talking info: 95 Summoning

Additional info: Vultures drop their own egg, so get out in the desert and start killing them. Keep in mind that while they are in flight they cannot be hit with melee.

The different colours are as follows.

CHAMELEON

The chameleon is the pet that changes depending on where you are. This pet is another pet not often seen much like the vulture. The egg of the chameleon is hatched in the pet incubator. The baby and adult both eat flies and only flies. While the chameleon has a grand total of ten colours it only has one variation.

Summoning Req: 90

Other Req: NONE

Talking info: 100 (99 + 1 boost from cape)

Additional info: The egg of the chameleon can be picked up on Cairn Island, but can ONLY be picked up if you have 90+ Summoning.

MONKEYS

Want a pet that shares around 97% of your DNA? Then this is the pet for you. The cheeky little monkeys can be found all across Karamja. The monkey, as you might expect, eats bananas as both a baby and an adult. Monkeys come in ten different variations, with each variation coming in one colour.

Summoning Req: 95

Other Req: 27 Hunter

Talking info: M'Speak Amulet

Additional info: Lay a box trap (banana as bait) and a young monkey will soon be drawn into your trap.

The variations are as follows.

[MA 1]

[MB 2]

[MB 3]

[MB 4] [MA 4]

[MB 5] [MA 5]

[MB 6] [MA 6]

[MB 7] [MA 7]

[MB 8] [MA 8]

[MB 9] [MA 9]

[MB 10] [MA 10]

DRAGONS

The biggest and the baddest pet in the game. In fact, the dragon is the Summoning Skill Cape in pet form, as one must be a master of the skill in order to raise this pet. Once you get your egg, set it in the trusty Pet Shop incubator, and wait. The dragon eats raw fish, raw meat and raw chicken, raw whatever. Lots of it too. The colours of these pets are the same as all (living) leather dragons. Green, blue, red and black.

Summoning Req: 99

Other Req: NONE

Talking info: N/A

Additional info: Dragon eggs are dropped from, you guessed it, dragons. The colour of the dragon determines the colour of the dragon pet, obviously. The dragon eggs can only be gotten as a drop if you have 99 Summoning.

Colours are as follows.

GREEN DRAGON

[GH] [GB]

BLUE DRAGON

[bluH] [bluB]

RED DRAGON

BLACK DRAGON

[blaH]

Note: Some images of baby animals may not match up with the proper adult animal AT THIS TIME.

If you want to help...

*** All pictures must be saved in PNG format ***

*** Inventory shot, Following shot, and Summoning tab shot needed ***

*** Please take all pictures on the HIGHEST brightness setting ***

This is what I'm looking for in a screenshot.

In this screenshot I can get both a picture of the pet and I have their Summoning tab picture. I'd prefer the pet to be 'photographed' from a side, a slight angle is alright though, look at the guide for examples.

While I would prefer the inventory picture to be empty of all clutter, if you have items in your inventory I would like it if you had the 9 spaces around the pet empty.

Wow nice start of a guide. I hope you wouldn't mind me sharing a partial list showing some of the inventory pics that Tip.It current has in the items database.

The Crew would LOVE for users to post more of the colour variations with a view to adding them to the site. I can see from your list that we are missing many colours. Any variation that we do not have would be credited to the poster!

[hide=these aren't in the format you've requested, as they are "inventory" only - perhaps they can serve as examples] Baby Chameleon

Baby Dragons (need red :o )

Baby gecko (animated)

Baby giant crab (animated)

Baby monkey (missing variants)

Baby penguin (missing variants)

Baby platypus (missing variants)

Baby raccoon (missing variants)

Baby squirrel (missing variants)

Black dragon egg (need 3 others)

.

. (I got tired here :P )

.

Hatchling dragons (need red)[/hide] Again, any inventory pictures that we do not already have will be happily credited to the poster!

Any information on gecko colour 5 would be great. :-k

I know you did your pics on low detail, but ive done mine on high detail while i was playing, if you want i can do owl once its grown too:

The Saradomin Owl is what I'm raising right now.

If you could get the Owl, on low detail too, that would save me some time. :

Added three more things. Not sure if anyone is reading this, not sure who can help me with it. But if anyone has adult pets would it be too much to ask for the info to be submitted? I'm all for running around and getting animals but this guide will take a while if I have to raise every single version of every single pet.

I need the most help with: RAVENS, MONKEYS and DRAGONS

I'm currently growing: Saradomin Owl

If someone already has a Saradomin Owl could you please take the screenshots of it? It would save me some time.

Nice collection of pictures :)

I'm not big on having pets unless I'm bored and want to train a cat for some extra cash, but I got both phoenixes last night so I can give you a screenie of them if you like.

Since you already have cute, here's mean. It's not in low detail though :?

[url=http://imageshack.us][img=http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2931/meanphoenixdb9.png][/url]

I'll add it in for now.

heres zamorak hawk grown only

Thanks! I fixed it up a bit, added it and credited you.

did a few for you, not sure on colours, but there ones you dont have yet. Need tidying up a tiny still (lol at my head in pengin one)

(all adult btw)

Thanks!

And I've been training Prayer lately, so I've been using a BoB. No time for pets, which is why the guide kind of stopped on my end for now.

95/99

Be back to raising pets soon.

Owl has been completed.

Moving on to the second God Bird, Zamorak. Only have to get the bird this time, not the hawk. \

I'll get the white squirrel adult for you once ive got my own owl finished, i think my squirrel was about half grown.

Thanks. I'm growing (what I think is) the last platypus after I grow the Zamorak bird.

I need to spend an hour or two to get all the crab babies one day.

The quick part of the guide is more or less done now. Now I either get more input (thanks for those that have helped already!) or I have to start growing these pets one by one.

If you know anyone that has a pet that isn't in this guide tell them to take some screenshots. Still need a lot of help with Ravens and I still have no idea what that last gecko colour is. :-k

I can really see why I missed that 5th gecko. It's nearly identical to the orange one. The inventory shot is the same, the Summoning tab shot is the same, however the gecko is darker in colour and has a brown tail and brown "sock" patterns.

I'm now growing this gecko as opposed to the platypus right now.

The orange and the brown are almost identical on low detail.

This is the difference on low detail.

This is the difference on high detail.

I'd like to keep all of my pictures as one quality (low quality) but I really don't see any way of avoiding the confusion with this one. Unless the adult brown gecko looks VERY different.

And I'm going to start mapping where you catch certain colours of animals.

Wow they really do look similar. 70% of my sara bird done, then that white squirrel is mine.

I really think this should be in the AOW when its finished for definate, even some parts on the main website summon guide tbh, keep growing those pets!

Well the brown gecko is done. Both HD and LD look similar, but not as similar as the babies.

Was your orange gecko adult picture taken while you were standing still? It looks smaller than mine.

i think i has white squiwwel

Yeah looks strange my orange gecko is smaller than brown, but maybe its becayse it's tail isn't straight out, or maybe the angle, not sure, its not overly noticable though.

Platypi are done. Still incubating vulture eggs 24/7 trying to get other colours, no real luck so far. I think I'm just going to start working top down, starting with bulldogs.

platypi? platypodes?

Added a bulldog.
