Abyssal protector is a pet that can be obtained from the Rewards Guardian. It is a much smaller version of the Abyssal guardians found within the Guardians of the Rift minigame.

When a player receives the pet, it will automatically try to appear as their follower. At the same time, a 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; it must instead be claimed from Probita in East Ardougne.

On death, if a player loses their pet (as a follower or in your inventory) it will wander around the area for 30 seconds before despawning. Even if the player returns in time, the pet cannot be picked up, and can be reclaimed from Probita.

• Concept art of the Abyssal guardians, by Mod West.

• The fronts of the Abyssal guardians and the Abyssal protector have a yellow square and pink star-shaped pattern, a reference to SpongeBob and Patrick from the television show SpongeBob SquarePants.^[1]
• "The Abyss stares back" dialogue is a reference to German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
• The Abyssal protector is one of the pets able to path around walls and scenery, so cannot be safespotted through traditional means.
