Beef is a pet that can be obtained from defeating Brutus.

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.

Beef has an Interact option, in which the player can choose the options "Moo" and "Emote". The "Moo" option will make Beef (as well as a random nearby cow) say "moo".

Emotes

Unlike most pets, Beef has an "Emote" option. When clicked, it will perform a short emote where it sniffs the air.

There is a rare chance that the "Emote" option will instead create a whirlwind which briefly spins Beef around in the air before disappearing.

Trivia

The very bowtie worn by Mod Hend that was the talk of the party, which inspired the rest of the art team to incorporate it into the pet's model.
  • The red bowtie that Beef wears was inspired by a sparkly red bowtie that Mod Hend wore to Jagex's 2025 Christmas party.[1]
  • Unlike every new pet that has released since Desert Treasure II - The Fallen Empire, Beef does not utilise routefinding when following the player.
  • Beef's examine text is a reference to sirloin steak.
  • The whirlwind emote is a reference to the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, which features a similar scene.
    • During development, when Mod Acorn requested an emote like "the Wizard of Oz cow tornado", animators Mod Harold and Mod Hend simply agreed in order to avoid sounding insane for never having seen the film before.[2]
