The Pet dark core is a pet dropped by the Corporeal Beast. It is the dark energy core that is summoned during the fight with the Corporeal Beast. Players can right click "Metamorphosis" to change between the dark core and the Corporeal Critter, which is a smaller version of the Corporeal Beast.

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.

Trivia

• The quote "Core-al" is a reference to the internet meme "Carl!" taken from The Walking Dead.
• Upon release, the pet dark core did not have a Metamorphosis option to change into the pet corporeal critter. This was added in an update on 22 February 2018 after passing the Quality of Life - PvM Suggestions 2018 poll.
