Requirements
Free-to-play players can unlock all pets except those that require training members' only skills. RuneScape members, of course, can unlock all of them.
Unlock each pet as a random drop when training its specific skill in the ways listed below. The higher your level in a skill the higher your chances of getting its pet.
Your brand-new buddies can be used as familiar overrides, complete with their own unique animations for spawning, de-spawning, attacking, defending and special attacks.
Once you have unlocked five of these skilling pets you will also unlock the fabulous new title – "“Jack of Tradesâ€Â. Unlocking all these skilling pets will then get you the golden title – "“Jack of All Tradesâ€Â

Please note that when you unlock a pet, the game will try to add it to you inventory, then your bank. If both are full, it will be delivered as soon as you clear space in either of those places.
We hope you enjoy unlocking these fantastic new rewards, just remember – a skill pet is for life not just for Christmas (yeah, it's summer, we know!)
