Bunyip

The Bunyip is a Summoning familiar which requires a Summoning level of 68. It is summoned using a Bunyip pouch. While the Bunyip is typically summoned during combat for its player healing ability, it will only fight to defend itself.

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.

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. Note that you won't get cooking xp.

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. In some situations, raw fish drops can provide additional healing.

Special ability
Players can use raw fish on bunyip to get a random number of water runes which could amount to as little as one rune for a raw shark.

Dialogue
Players can access specific lines of dialogue when they are 10 levels above the required Summoning level needed to summon a familiar.

At Level 78 Summoning, clicking on a summoned bunyip will randomly produce the following lines of dialogue below the default "Glorp glorpglorp glorp glorp, glorpglorp".

"Hey Bruce, can we go down to the beach t'day?"

"Sigh..."

"Where are we going and why is it not the beach?"

"Pass me another bunch of shrimp, mate!"

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.
