The 10 Easiest Pets To Get In OSRS

Pets in Old School RuneScape are one of the most exciting flexes a player can show off, but not all of them require insane luck or max-level grinds. While some pets take thousands of hours to earn, there are a handful that are much easier to get—whether through skilling, bossing, or even clues. If you’re looking to start your pet collection without going broke or grinding for months, this list covers the easiest OSRS pets to obtain right now. Let’s break down the top ten pets that most players have a realistic shot at earning.

#10: Rock Golem

The Rock Golem is one of the more common skilling pets in OSRS and is earned while training Mining. You can get it from almost any mining activity, whether you’re power-mining iron, chasing high XP at the Volcanic Mine, or farming pay-dirt at the Motherlode Mine. What makes the Rock Golem more accessible is that it’s tied to a skill most players level up early and often. The drop rate improves as your Mining level increases, and with efficient training methods, it’s not uncommon to see this pet show up during a standard 99 grind. It also changes color based on the ore you mine, giving it some fun customization flair.

#9: Scorpia’s Offspring

Scorpia’s Offspring is one of the easier boss pets to get in OSRS thanks to Scorpia’s relatively low combat difficulty and fast respawn rate. Found in the Wilderness, Scorpia is a safe pick for players who want a pet without needing max gear or high-end PvM skills. The drop rate is 1 in 2,000, which might sound high, but with quick kills and little competition, grinding this boss can be efficient. Just be cautious of PKers since it’s in a PvP zone. With solid gear and a little patience, Scorpia’s Offspring is a fairly achievable pet that also has a cool, unique scorpion design to show off.

#8: Pet Kraken

The Pet Kraken is one of the most popular and easiest boss pets to get in OSRS, especially for players who enjoy safe and consistent PvM. With a drop rate of 1 in 3,000 from the Kraken boss (or 1 in 1,000 from the regular cave krakens), it’s much more attainable than many other boss pets. The fight itself is very straightforward and can be done with minimal risk, making it perfect for mid-level players looking to grind a pet without too much stress. Plus, the Kraken boss drops solid loot, so you’re profiting while you hunt for this squishy, adorable sea monster.

#7: Hellpuppy

Hellpuppy is the pet version of Cerberus, and while it might take some grinding, it’s one of the more manageable high-level boss pets to obtain. With a drop rate of 1 in 3,000, Cerberus offers a decent chance compared to other endgame bosses. The fight itself is relatively straightforward once you learn the mechanics, and it’s a great way to stack up on valuable loot like Primordial Crystals while going for the pet. Hellpuppy stands out with its fiery appearance and is a favorite among Slayer fans who spend time grinding tasks at the Taverley Dungeon.

#6: Baby Mole

The Baby Mole is one of the easiest pets to get in OSRS, especially for players who want to dive into bossing without high requirements. Dropped by the Giant Mole at a 1 in 3,000 rate, this pet is fairly beginner-friendly thanks to the low combat level needed to access the fight. The Giant Mole lives under Falador Park and can be hunted with basic gear, making it accessible even for mid-level players. Plus, you can make solid GP from mole claws and skins, which adds extra motivation while farming for the pet.

#5: Skotos

Skotos is the pet version of the Skotizo boss, and it’s one of the more accessible pets for mid to high-level players. With a drop rate of 1 in 65 when using a Dark Totem, it’s much easier to obtain compared to most boss pets. Skotizo resides in the Catacombs of Kourend and can only be fought by using a full Dark Totem, which you collect by killing creatures within the Catacombs. The fight itself is not too difficult, especially with good gear, and each kill is a solid chance at this unique-looking shadowy pet. Plus, farming Skotizo also gives a good supply of ancient shards and totems, making it a rewarding grind overall.

#4: Chompy Chick

The Chompy Chick is one of the easiest and most straightforward pets to unlock in OSRS, especially for players who enjoy quests and minigames. You can obtain it by hunting Chompy birds after completing the “Big Chompy Bird Hunting” quest and achieving at least 30 kills. The pet has a 1 in 500 drop rate, which is extremely generous compared to most pets in the game. What makes it even more appealing is how low-effort the grind is—once you’ve unlocked the ability, you can camp Chompies at your own pace with minimal gear. It’s a fun and quirky pet that’s also one of the most beginner-friendly to obtain.

#3: Eek

Eek is one of the most unique and seasonal pets in OSRS, originally introduced during the Halloween 2022 event. What sets Eek apart is that it’s a limited-time pet—only available through a specific holiday event, making it exclusive and easy to get for players active during that period. It doesn’t require any grinding, bossing, or RNG; you just complete a short event quest, and Eek is yours. Despite being simple to earn, Eek has a memorable design—a creepy little spider that follows you around, adding some fun seasonal flair to your collection. For players who love holiday content and easy cosmetics, Eek is a must-have.

#2: Pet Cat

The Pet Cat is easily one of the most accessible and beginner-friendly pets in OSRS. You can get one simply by completing the “Gertrude’s Cat” quest, which requires no combat and very low skill levels. After that, you can raise your kitten into a full-grown cat just by letting it follow you around and feeding it from time to time. There’s no RNG involved, and it’s a guaranteed pet that any player can obtain early on. Plus, grown cats can be traded for Death runes in Ardougne, making them practical as well as cute. It’s the perfect starter pet for any new adventurer.

#1: Pet Rock

The Pet Rock takes the top spot as the easiest pet to get in OSRS—mainly because you don’t have to grind, fight, or even train a skill to get it. All you need to do is start the quest “The Fremennik Trials,” and you’ll receive it as part of the story. There’s no RNG, no rare drop chance—just a guaranteed reward that you can pick up with barely any effort. While it doesn’t walk behind you like other pets, it’s still considered a pet by the game, and you can even talk to it in some hilarious dialogue moments. It’s quirky, fun, and possibly the most low-effort pet you’ll ever own in Gielinor.
