Heron

The heron is a skilling pet that can be obtained while training Fishing. The chances of getting it are dependent on the player's Fishing level, and the time it takes to gather a resource.

On death, if a player loses their pet (as a follower or in your inventory) it will wander around for 30 seconds before disappearing completely.

Players can pay a one-time fee of 500,000 coins to Probita in East Ardougne to have this pet insured. Should the pet be lost while insured, it can be reclaimed for 1,000,000 coins.

Drop rate
Below is the base chance of a drop while Fishing. Actual chance is base chance - (level * 25). The only exception is the Fishing Trawler, which is always a flat 1/5,000 regardless of level.

Dialogue

 * Heron: Hop inside my mouth if you want to live!
 * Player: I'm not falling for that... I'm not a fish! I've got more foresight than that.

Trivia

 * The dialogue between the heron and the player is likely a nod to a similar quote in the Disney Pixar film Finding Nemo.
