Shantay is a merchant who runs the Shantay Pass. He owns the Shantay Pass Shop, and sells Shantay passes. Shantay also provides some information about desert survival, as the effects of the desert heat starts taking its toll south of Shantay Pass, which can be useful for new players going into the desert.

If a player declares being an outlaw, Shantay will call upon his guards to have the player arrested and demands the player pay a fine of 5 coins. If the player pays, they will be released. If the player refuses twice, Shantay will then transport the player to be locked in Port Sarim "High-security" jail.

The player can escape by picking the lock of the cell, regardless of their Thieving Level or their membership status, but it is easier at higher levels. Picking the lock to get out awards 4 Thieving experience on members' worlds, while not providing any experience on free-to-play worlds. The player is also able to teleport out if they have the runes, or can use a Home Teleport or minigame teleport.

• Shantay is the solution to the beginner cryptic clue: Near the open desert I reside, to get past me you must abide. Go forward if you dare, for when you pass me, you'll be sweating by your hair.
• Getting Shantay to send the player to the Port Sarim jail is the solution to the easy cryptic clue: Search the bucket in the Port Sarim jail.

Shantay can drop a scrumpled paper when talked to. Players can spam the "talk-to" option to quickly get a paper.
