Bunyip

The Bunyip is a Summoning familiar which requires a Summoning level of 68. It is summoned using a Bunyip pouch. It is typically summoned during combat for its player-healing ability.

Bunyip pouch
A Bunyip pouch is made by using a Summoning pouch on a Summoning obelisk with 110 spirit shards, a Green charm and a raw shark in the player's inventory.

Swallow whole scroll
The Swallow whole scroll enables the use of the Swallow whole special ability for a Bunyip. Using a Bunyip pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates ten Swallow whole scrolls.

Swallow whole
Swallow whole is the special move of the Bunyip activated by using a Swallow whole scroll. It allows players to eat an uncooked fish (and gain the correct number of hitpoints corresponding to the fish eaten) if they have the cooking level to cook the fish. For example, using the scroll on a raw shark will heal 20 hitpoints as long as the player has a cooking level of 80 or higher. Each use of a scroll requires three special move points.

Players killing Waterfiends find this scroll useful as they drop Raw Lobsters and Sharks occasionally, thus prolonging players' stay there.

You will get 1-1,000,000 Cooking xp for using the Swallow Whole scroll.

Healing
The bunyip will automatically heal two hitpoints approximately every 15 seconds up to a player's maximum. Note that the healing ability still works even if a player does not have any remaining Summoning points. The healing effect makes the Bunyip useful in single combat environments as it can restore up to 352 hitpoints over its summoning duration of 44 minutes. This is roughly equivalent to a full inventory of lobsters or 17 cooked sharks. Raw fish drops can provide additional healing, see "Swallow whole" above for detail.

Special ability
Players can use raw fish on bunyip to get a random number of water runes. The maximum amount you can get from them depends on the fish you feed them - the maximum amount it can give is the same as the health the cooked version of the fish that it transmutes. For example, feeding the bunyip raw shrimp will yield 1-3 runes, while feeding it raw sharks can give 1-20. Therefore, feeding it fish that doesn't heal much and doesn't sell well is a good idea, to get Water Runes which can be sold or used. It can also make powerfishing a bit more profitable.

Mythology
A bunyip, in Australian mythology, was a monster that inhabited swamps, billabongs, creeks, riverbeds and waterholes. It was said that at night, their cries could be heard as they devoured any unfortunate animal that came near their abode. Bunyips are slimy and very smelly creatures.
