Jackal

Jackals are a species of small, dog-like creatures native to the Kharidian Desert. Jackals are commonly found in the desert's lower reaches, near the cities of Nardah and Sophanem.

Jackals travel in large packs. These packs use their numbers to take down prey much larger than themselves, including humans that have often been weakened by the desert heat. They count as "dogs" for slayer tasks.

Trivia

 * When the player examines the Jackal, it gives the text "He has had his day". This is a reference to the saying "every dog has its day" or possibly the book Day of the Jackal.
 * Using the Fairy Ring code B-I-Q to the Kharidian Desert and back may cause a glitch that makes a Jackal appear in Zanaris.
 * A Jackal bone, which differs from the usual bones dropped by Jackals, are rare drops used in the Rag and Bone Man quest. This bone cannot be buried.
 * Jackals appeared in the desert on the release of All Fired Up, Jagex has not said why. The Jackals however are not needed in the Quest.
