Butch is a pet dropped by Vardorvis. It is a much smaller version of him.

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.

Unlike most pets, Butch has an "Emote" option. When clicked, he will perform one of Vardorvis' animations in the following order seen below. Upon killing the awakened variant, Butch will unlock a death emote.

There is a short cooldown of several seconds between emotes. If players attempt to have Butch perform an emote again too soon, a game message will state You must wait a moment before your pet can do another emote.

• Butch's attack emote.
• Butch's respawn emote.
• Butch's strangle emote.
• Butch's dash emote.
• Butch's death emote.

• Butch's name is a play on "butcher", as Vardorvis' title Carnifex Maximus translates to "supreme butcher".
• Butch uses routefinding when following the player; as such, he will path around obstacles to reach the player rather than getting stuck like most other pets.
