Rantz is an ogre who lives in a cave in the eastern part of Feldip Hills with his children, Fycie and Bugs. He is located at the only quest start icon in that area, and is first encountered during the Big Chompy Bird Hunting quest. After the quest, players can kill chompies to claim Rantz's feather hats.

Quests

In addition to Big Chompy Bird Hunting, where Rantz teachers players how to kill chompies, he is also encountered during Recipe for Disaster, where players must run an errand for him in order to learn how to catch jubblies. Players will also have to do a "small favour" for Rantz during the One Small Favour quest.

Chompy hunting

Main article: Chompy bird hunting

Rantz will give players the ogre bow during the Big Chompy Bird Hunting quest, and sells replacements for somewhere between 500 and 550 coins (the exact amount changes each time). Players must use a variation of the ogre bow to kill chompies.

Players who kill a set number of chompies (the minimum being 30, and the maximum being 4,000) will be able to obtain feather hats. You must have an ogre bow or comp ogre bow equipped or in your inventory to claim feather hats from Rantz.

Trivia

Rantz as he appears on the Postbag from the Hedge stamp.

• Rantz appears on one of the seven Postbag from the Hedge stamps.
• His name is a play on the term "Rants", which is a way to describe criticism. This would pertain to the fact that Rantz is always criticising the player during Big Chompy Bird Hunting.
