Cormorants are a species of large bird native to many coastal regions including Karamja, Fossil Island and Hosidius, and are often found alongside Pelicans. They are carnivorous and feed mainly on fish. Most cormorants cannot be fought or interacted with in any way, essentially making them scenery.

A certain kind of cormorant can be used for aerial fishing, a Hunter technique similar to falconry practiced by Alry the Angler on the small island in Lake Molch. These cormorants will require either some fish chunks or some king worms on a regular basis to catch fish for the player.

Trivia

• Cormorants are a family of aquatic birds. They are known to have been used by humans in the practice of cormorant fishing for at least 1300 years in several Asian and European countries as a means of both sport and sustenance.
