Callisto is an enormous bear empowered by the corruption of the Wilderness that resides south of the Demonic Ruins and is the only monster to drop the tyrannical ring. He attacks using Melee. He can knock players back a few tiles, which renders them unable to move for a few seconds, as well as heal himself slightly. He is also able to perform a deadly shockwave attack that can hit up to 60 and may combine this with a melee attack, which is capable of instantly killing the player if they are within melee range and do not have Protect from Melee active.

Callisto is immune to Magic damage, although spells with effects such as Vulnerability will still affect him.

Trivia

• Callisto is named after one of the Greek god Zeus' many lovers, who was turned into the constellation Ursa Major.
• Callisto is the name of one of Jupiter's moons; Jupiter is the Roman equivalent of Greek Zeus, and all of its moons are named for his lovers.
• His examine text is a reference to Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
• There is a pile of bear droppings in the woods south of his spawn, with the examine text "Now you know." — a reference to the popular colloquialism, "Does a bear shit in the woods?", a rhetorical question in response to something where the answer is obviously yes.
• Despite being a boss variant of the bear, Callisto is unable to drop ensouled bear heads, even though other bosses like Scorpia and the Kalphite Queen drop ensouled scorpion and kalphite heads respectively.
