Impling

Implings are the creatures that are featured in the activity Impetuous Impulses. They are mainly found in Puro-Puro, but they may appear anywhere across Gielinor. They are caught with a butterfly net, magic butterfly net, sacred clay butterfly net, or volatile clay butterfly net. They can also be caught barehanded, like butterflies. Catching implings barehanded does not require a certain Agility level, but having a higher Agility level will help. Also, unlike butterflies, implings can be caught while wielding an item. This was intended to help people catch implings across Gielinor without having to run back to the bank to get a net and jars. Implings tend to "teleport" once in a while, and appear in a different area of Gielinor.

Before the update on 22 February 2010 players had to have impling jars in their inventory in order to catch implings. The jars can be obtained from Elnock Inquisitor in Puro-Puro at the cost of any jarred impling. This can make a good use for young and baby implings, which do not have loot worth more than the jars themselves(this has been change to where some loot is obtain). They can also be generated with a Jar generator or purchased from Elnock's shop for one coin each (ten stock).

Implings have the ability to fly over any body of water or lava, but not over obstacles that can be labelled with a line on the minimap. They can also spawn inside some thick walls, for example the wall east of Taverley that runs north to south. This would make them impossible to catch, and potentially considered a glitch if not for their ability to teleport.

A Wandering impling roams around the large wheat field in Zanaris. He cannot be caught, but he introduces players to the Impetuous Impulses activity and will show players the location of the second portal outside of Puro-Puro.

With no need for supplies and pretty good hunter experience, catching implings is a good thing to do while on the way to do other RuneScape activities.

Players can use the spells Bind, Snare, and Entangle respectively to keep an impling from moving further away; this could be useful when in Puro-Puro or while keeping the impling from flying over a body of water.
