This article is about the NPC. For the random event, see Evil Bob (random event).
Evil Bob is an evil cat who lives on ScapeRune, and he is also the exact opposite of Bob the Jagex Cat. He wears a Man speak amulet, which is how players are able to converse with him without the need for a Catspeak amulet.
Evil Bob appears next to players unexpectedly as a random event (apparently able to teleport himself to any location on Gielinor, even the magically sealed and secluded Rune essence mine), then he disappears back to whence he came. Before leaving he teleports his targeted player to one of two places within ScapeRune, either his personal island or to prison with Prison Pete who seems to be the opposite of Party Pete.
When sent to Evil Bob's island, players must catch cooked fish and uncook them for Evil Bob. A Servant will give you hints as to what to do to put Evil Bob to sleep. When players are sent to prison with Prison Pete, they will have to pop specific balloon animals in order to escape.

Dialogue
Trivia
- Using any food on the uncooking pot will say you need an Uncooking level equal to that of the food used.
- Similarly, when you use a raw fishlike thing on a fire, it won't let you cook the uncooked fish.
- Evil Bob, when asked about why he keeps the lever in the prison as well as related questions had the following to say about it:
| “ |
The lever must stay, for, without the hope of freedom, there would be no reason to continue. I don’t want depressed prisoners hanging about the place. Prison Pete, on the other hand, I’ve actually taken to popping up and kidnapping him from one prison and taking him to a new one. It amuses me endlessly, though I suspect my frequent shattering of his escape plans have taken their toll on his mind and driven him mad. That, or the teleports have more effect on his brain than mine. Unless it’s the food, that’s probably maddeningly poor too. Why do I kidnap people all the time? The answer is quite simple, slave: because they keep escaping. I’m a cat, as you can clearly tell, and I must be waited upon hand and foot - this is the natural order of things. The only reason humans exist at all is to service the needs of cats - to provide us food, warm laps to sleep on and as handy, mobile scratching posts. If people stopped escaping from me, then I’d not be able to have any fun hunting and capturing them from your world anymore. |

- Once you start fishing, you will catch a cooked fish, rather than a normal raw one. This is due to an island where everything is believed to be opposite of what should be.
- Evil Bob also mentions the cheery old chicken, the ScapeRune alter-ego of the evil chicken
- Prior to the Random Event update, the reward from the Prison Pete event was Coins and/or grimy herbs (including Grimy Snapdragons), and the reward for Evil Bob's Island was magic or fishing experience.
- When you use any cooked fish with Evil Bob, he will say: "What's that? I don't know what kind of fish you eat in your world, but that smells absolutely vile. Go catch me some real fish, my other servant will tell you what I like."
- The dialogue that takes place on 'the island' is inspired by the classic television series The Prisoner.
- Using any raw fish with the uncooking pot will give you the message: "You do not need to uncook that, it's already raw."
- Even though you can talk to the servant and tell him/her (the servant's gender depending on your gender) to come with you he/she will reply with a negative answer.Your character may choose the option "But I love you!!", but the servant will reply "Our love cannot be"
- If having a "//" ready in the chat box and being in a clan you say "No... what? Nooooooooooooo!" in the Clan Chat.
- Appears during the Recipe for Disaster quest taking away Osman.
- If your character is a male and you tell Bob's slave that you love her, she will answer to go and not look behind. This could be a reference to the myth of Orpheus and Eurydices.
