Herbi

Herbi is a pet obtained from hunting herbiboars found in Fossil Island's Mushroom Forest. There is a 1/6,500 chance to receive the pet after the player harvests the herbs from the herbiboar.

When a player receives the pet, it will automatically try to appear as their follower. At the same time, a red message in the chatbox will state You have a funny feeling like you're being followed.

However, if a player receives a pet while having a follower out (for example, a cat), it will be placed into their inventory. When this occurs, the message in the chatbox will instead state You feel something weird sneaking into your backpack. If a players inventory is full and they have a follower already, they will not receive the pet.

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.

Dialogue[]

Dialogue 1[]

Player: Are you hungry?
Herbi: That depends, what have you got?
Player: I'm sure I could knock you up a decent salad.
Herbi: I'm actually an insectivore.
Player: Oh, but your name suggests that-
Herbi: I think you'll find I didn't name myself, you humans and your silly puns.
Player: No need to PUNish us for our incredible wit.
Herbi: Please. Stop.

Dialogue 2[]

Player: Have your herbs died?
Herbi: These old things? I guess they've dried up... I'm getting old and I need caring for. I've chosen you to do that by the way.
Player: Oh fantastic! I guess I'll go shell out half a million coins to keep you safe then, what superb luck!
Herbi: I could try the next person if you'd prefer?
Player: I'm just joking you old swine!

Dialogue 3[]

Player: So you live in a hole? I would've thought Boars are surface dwelling mammals.
Herbi: Well, I'm special! I bore down a little so I'm nice and cosy with my herbs exposed to the sun, it's all very interesting.
Player: Sounds rather... Boring!
Herbi: How very original...

Dialogue 4[]

Player: Tell me... do you like Avacado?^[sic]
Herbi: I'm an insectivore, but even if I wasn't I'd hate Avacado!
Player: Why ever not? It's delicious!
Herbi: I don't know why people like it so much... it tastes a like^[sic] a ball of chewed up grass.
Player: Sometimes you can be such a bore...

Dialogue 5[]

Herbi: When I was a young HERBIBOAR!!
Player: I'm standing right next to you, no need to shout...
Herbi: I was trying to sing you a song...
