A Rooster is a low-level monster that is very similar to a chicken, and indeed they are found together.
Specifically, players can find at least one in Freda's yard on Death Plateau. There is also a rooster in the chicken pen in Rellekka and in Miscellania market.
The attackable ones are members only, but there is a rooster in the farm near Falador standing on the top of the box in the chicken pen even on a free-to-play world. It looks exactly like the Evil chicken, a former random event and a boss monster in the quest Recipe for Disaster. However, that one cannot be attacked. Roosters give 7 experience in Slayer per kill. Roosters give 33 experience per kill.

- The Rooster at Falador Farm is named Nigel, and according to the Evil Chicken, cheats at cards.
- After the Chicken graphical update, Nigel has dramatically decreased in size, and is now tiny.
