Cowardly Bandit
The Cowardly Bandit is a non-player character (NPC) found in the game Old School RuneScape (OSRS). This NPC can be recognized by his distinct appearance, wearing ragged clothing that reflects his timid nature. The Cowardly Bandit is primarily located in the keldegrim’s Bandit Camp, hiding from danger and avoiding engagements with other players and NPCs.
Description
The Cowardly Bandit is characterized by his lack of combat abilities and his tendency to flee when confronted. Unlike other bandits who are more aggressive and will attack players on sight, the Cowardly Bandit displays a unique behavior where he will run away from any potential threat.

Combat Mechanics
Due to being a cowardly character, the Cowardly Bandit does not engage players in combat. Instead, he will immediately attempt to escape if a player approaches him. Because of this, players cannot receive any experience points or rewards from this NPC, making him more of a background character meant to add flavor to the game’s world.
Interactions

Players may engage with him simply to observe his behavior, such as how he cowers or flees when approached. The Cowardly Bandit can serve as a reminder of the more humorous aspects of the game world and can provide some lighthearted entertainment in contrast to more serious NPCs.
