Swamp Lizard (Hunter)
The Swamp Lizard is a non-player character (NPC) found in the wetlands of Gielinor, primarily in the swamps of Morytania and in various other boggy areas. As a creature within the world of Old School RuneScape (OSRS), it plays a unique role for players who pursue the Hunter skill.
Habitat
Swamp Lizards thrive in moistened regions, specifically in locations such as the Lumbridge Swamp and the southern part of the Morytania swamps. Their presence signifies the humid environment, and they can often be seen darting around the marshes.
Combat
While Swamp Lizards are not aggressive and will not attack players, they can be caught using various Hunter techniques. When attempting to catch them, players will encounter low-level Hunter experience challenges. However, they pose no direct threat if left undisturbed.
Catch Rate and Requirements
To successfully catch a Swamp Lizard, players need a Hunter level of 47. They can be trapped using a small net and a box trap, which must be placed in the vicinity where the lizards frequently visit. Players have a catch rate of approximately 100% if the traps are set correctly.
Rewards
Catching Swamp Lizards grants players experience points in the Hunter skill, with a yield of 50 experience points per lizard caught. Furthermore, these lizards can be used in various skilling activities, such as bait for higher-level hunting while pursuing hunting creatures or ingredients in certain quests.
Uses
The Swamp Lizard is primarily valuable for players looking to train their Hunter level efficiently. Additionally, when cooked, the Swamp Lizard becomes a Swamp Lizard fillet, which can be used for cooking and provides food for players during their adventures across Gielinor.
Trivia
The Swamp Lizard is often overlooked by newer players who might not be aware of its significance in the Hunter skill. It is also a part of the lore of Gielinor‘s fauna, reflecting the diversity of creatures inhabiting the game’s ecosystem. Players also reference Swamp Lizards within the context of discussions about Hunter training methods.
