The giant squirrel is a skilling pet that can be obtained after completion of an agility course, as well as from ticket dispensers within the Brimhaven Agility Arena. The chances of getting it are dependent on the player's Agility level, and the agility course the player is training on.
When a player receives the pet, it will automatically try to appear as their follower. At the same time, a red 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, the pet will wander until it's picked up.
On death, if a player loses their pet (as a follower or in their inventory) it will wander around for 30 seconds before disappearing completely.
Players can pay a one-time fee of 500,000 coins to Probita in East Ardougne to have this pet insured. If the pet is lost while insured, it can be reclaimed for 1,000,000 coins.
Shown below are the base chances of receiving the giant squirrel[1]. The pet chance is rolled after completing an agility course, and when receiving an agility arena ticket within the Brimhaven Agility Arena.
A player's actual chances of receiving it is 1 in B - (Lvl * 25), where B is the base chance and Lvl is the player's Agility level.

|
- The giant squirrel's appearance is based on the Indian giant squirrel in real life.
- The second and third dialogues are a reference to the episode Squirrel Jokes from the Nickelodeon cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants.
- The second dialogue might also be a reference to a Squirrel Song by Foamy the Squirrel.
- When entering your POH, if you have a tree, the squirrel will stand behind it rather than follow you around.
- After an update, giant squirrels may be fed acorns, resulting in the squirrel saying "Thank you! Ratatoskr be your guide and bring you many acorn trees!", this is in reference to the god of Norse mythology Ratatoskr. "Congratulations! You have paid your squirrel tax.... for now." will also appear in the chatbox.
- ↑ Jagex. Mod Kieren's Twitter account. 26 September 2016. Mod Kieren: "Finally, the Agility pet rates! Try your best to get your hands on that Giant Squirrel! [1]"
