Ibis

The Ibis is a summoning familiar which requires level 56 Summoning to use. Although the Ibis does not aid in combat, it assists a player with an invisible Fishing boost of 3 levels.

Note: This invisible boost will not let you catch fish any higher than your current level. For example, if your fishing level is 73, it will not boost your level to 76 in order to catch sharks.

While the player is fishing, the Ibis will forage tuna and swordfish. The Ibis produces fish when the player fishes at any fishing spot, and can hold up to 30 fish. Each time the Ibis catches a swordfish, you gain 10 Fishing experience. This is unaffected by the use of swordfish gloves or the sacred clay harpoon. Players do not gain Fishing experience each time the Ibis forages a tuna.

Interestingly, whenever you are aided by your Ibis companion while practising the art of Barbarian fishing using a Heavy rod, or net fishing inside the Piscatoris Fishing Colony, it tends to only produce Swordfish. The Ibis also only catches swordfish while the player is fishing in Shilo Village and Living Rock Caverns. In these cases, the deposit box at the Barbarian Outpost comes handy, as it is in the immediate proximity of the lake.

Ibis pouch
An Ibis pouch is created by using an obelisk with an empty pouch, 109 spirit shards, a green charm and a normal harpoon in the players inventory. A Barb-tail harpoon does not work in creating this familiar. If players exchange their Ibis pouches with Bogrog, they will receive 77 Spirit shards per pouch.

Fish rain scroll
Fish rain is the special move of the Ibis. The special move makes fish (raw shrimp, bass, cod, and mackerel) fall out of the sky. Fish Rain can be activated by having a Fish rain scroll in the player's inventory. Using the scroll costs 12 special points. It can be used 5 times before the player will have to wait for the special to raise.

Trivia

 * The Ibis' examine text, "I wonder if it uses the 'Crane' technique," is a reference to the Crane style of many martial arts and to the movie "The Karate Kid".
 * Many birds that look like the Ibis are sometimes referred to as 'Crane birds' because of their long necks and beaks, which could be one reason for its examine text.
 * The Ibis' special move is similar to that of the spirit spider, fruit bat, and Macaw.
