Boot is a dwarf in the Dwarven Mines who is taking a break from mining. He plays a small part in the Family Crest quest, where he tells players the location to mine 'Perfect' gold ore, which is in the Witchaven Dungeon. If asked, Boot will also explain the origin of his name. When he was young, he was so small that he slept in a boot.

Boot also plays a part in the 2025 variant of Community Egg Hunt, where he is the second clue-giver for the second week.

  • The various dwarves of RuneScape have had a visit from the Makeover Mage, who has given their chatheads a new look.

Trivia

• The area where Boot is used to be where Thordur sold the Disk of returning for the former Black Hole Experience. Postbag from the Hedge 6 gives the reason that the Black Hole Experience was removed and Boot replaced Thordur.
• Historically, when Boot explained how he obtained his name, the player would rudely cut him off. This was changed in a hidden update.
