Bob The Cat A.K.A Zaros?
We discover during the 'Tail of Two Cats' quest that Bob the cat is in fact Robert The Strong, who slaid the dragonkin many ages back.
However, it is thought also that he is the God Zaros banished from Runescape.
Dialogue to support evidence :
'Another rumor circumventing is that Bob, the Jagex cat, is actually a reincarnated version of Zaros. The rumor states that Bob wanders around Geilnor trying to find a way to break free and obtain revenge at Zamorak for taking his power. When a player meets the wandering Bob and chats to him while equipped with the amulet of catspeak he emerges with some quotes that fuel the rumor that he is Zaros. These quotes are:
Bob: "If only you knew the power of Bob. Your master never told you who your real father was, did he?"
Cat: "No, but what’s that got to do with.... no, nooooo! It cannot be!!"
Bob: "Yes. I am your father!"
Cat: "That’s impossible!!"
Player: "This is all getting very weird."
Bob: "You can destroy Zamorak. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule this place as father and son."
Cat: "OK dad, maybe later. You’re scaring me!"
Player: "I think that’s about enough of that. I’m off."
A spoof of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Zaros is well known to have hatred and loathing towards Zamorak for deceiving him. Bob the cat seems to share this same hatred. The final lines in this text may hint at a future quest involving Zaros.
Bob: "Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are Guthix!"
Player: "What do you believe, Bob?"
Bob: "Well I don’t believe much really since I know I am Zar... erm, well, no, I erm, meow?"
Bob speaks the line of "Zar...". Zar could be Bob slipping the first syllable of Zaros. '
