The '''Platypus''' is a [[Summoning]] [[pet]] available at level 10 Summoning.
It is caught via [[Hunter]] at level 48 using a [[box trap]]. You have to lure the creature towards the trap using smouldering [[lavender]]. Use a [[tinderbox]] on lavender to cause it to smoulder. Doing so will also equip the smouldering lavender in the weapon slot. The smouldering lavender will be consumed after a few moments and become [[Ashes]] (appearing in your inventory if there's room or else being dropped). Unequipping it immediately extinguishes it and turns it into ashes.

Once caught, a baby platypus eats raw [[fish]] or [[ground fishing bait]]. An adult eats [[fishing bait]]. They seem to have a rather large intellect.

Platypodes can be caught in [[Oo'glog]] during the quest [[As a First Resort...]]. Baby platypodes can be caught south of Oo'glog after the quest. Level 48 Hunter and level 10 Summoning are also required to catch a baby platypus, which becomes a pet and can then grow to the adult form.

'''BE WARNED:''' Smouldering lavender will cause nearby [[wimpy bird]]s to attack you constantly, dealing 20 life points with each hit. The birds cannot be attacked, and armour or protection prayers do not prevent the damage. Smouldering [[tansymum]] will cause all nearby platypodes to flee from you. Smouldering [[fever grass]] will cause them to attack you with poison. However due to the proximity to the [[spa pool]]s this is not fatal, as you can heal life points and stop poisoning.

Like most pets, this pet has a growth rate of 1% for every 15% hunger.

Releasing the pet platypus in the same location as done during the quest will result in another casket or oyster.

==Trivia==
*When your adult platypus says "chim chim chiree," it is likely a reference to the song "[[Wikipedia:Chim Chim Cher-ee|Chim Chim Cher-ee]]" from the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Mary Poppins (film)|Mary Poppins]]''.
*The platypus is one of the few followers able to block other NPCs. This can be used as an aid in trapping penguins or in creating safespots, for example.
