Skotos is a pet dropped by Skotizo. It is a much smaller version of Skotizo.

When a player receives the pet, it will automatically try to appear as their follower. At the same time, a red message in the chatbox will state You have a funny feeling like you're being followed.

However, if a player receives a pet while having a follower out (for example, a cat), it will be placed into their inventory. When this occurs, the message in the chatbox will instead state You feel something weird sneaking into your backpack. If a player's inventory is full and they have a follower already, they will not receive the pet.

On death, if a player loses their pet (as a follower or in your inventory) it will wander around for 30 seconds before disappearing completely.

Players can pay a one-time fee of 500,000 coins to Probita in East Ardougne to have this pet insured. Should the pet be lost while insured, it can be reclaimed for 1,000,000 coins.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

• "Skótos" ("σκότος") is Ancient Greek for darkness, referencing Skotos' dark appearance and demonic nature.
• The pet was not released at the same time as Skotizo itself in 2016; rather, it was offered in Old School Content Poll #51 almost eight months later, and passed by 91.9%.
• While Skotizo's model uses the standard greater demon model for its animations, Skotos uses the model for K'ril Tsutsaroth, even inheriting the stomping sound that it uses.
• The pet has one of the highest drop rates for a one-off pet at 1/65, one of the highest along with olmlet. This is due to the time it takes to assemble a dark totem being taken into account.
• Upon looking closely at Skotos' face through the chathead or other, a small purple eye is visible just above his mouth.
