| abstract | - Skypouncers are pets available from Solomon's General Store for 1083 RuneCoins (975 for members). The skypouncer originates on an icyene plane; sighting this creature is rumoured to bring luck in battle. The skypouncer has three stages of growth - baby, adolescent, and adult. It takes roughly 15 hours for a skypouncer baby to grow into an adolescent skypouncer when following you, though this can be sped up by interacting with the pet. Stages can be skipped by using a Growth Surge on the pet, i.e. baby to adolescent or adolescent to adult. It will take approximately 15 hours to reach the adolescent stage and an additional 25 hours to reach the adult stage. This time can be halved by "playing" with your pet by making it do one of its two emotes. It appears that while the pet is with you, it generates its own pet points up to a cap of 30 points. When this cap is reached, simply making the pet do an emote will allow you to retrieve the generated points, making it possible to raise the pet in half the time. A Skypouncer does not need to be fed like a normal pet. Although feeding it Tasty Treat will increase the rate at which it grows by 50%, and feeding it Jelly Treat will increase it by 100%. Like all pets and summoning familiars, it cannot enter or use its abilities in some areas of RuneScape. There are several recolour options that you can choose in order to customize your pet. Though the colour of most of the skypouncer's fur is constant at golden beige, specific areas of the skypouncer can be recoloured during each growth stage:
* Skypouncer kitten: the spots on the kitten's back, and the end of its tail.
* Skypouncer adolescent: some tufts of fur in the side of its mane, the two chevron markings on its back, the band of fur at the top of its legs, the tips of its wings, and the end of its tail.
* Skypouncer adult: the tuft of fur on top of its head, its eyes, some tufts of fur in the side of its mane, the fur of its neck, the two chevron markings on its back, the band of fur at the top of its legs, the symbol on its kneebands, its wingtips, and the end of its tail.
