NPCs populate the realm of Gielinor. Some NPCs, such as shopkeepers and characters in quests, are unavailable for combat. However, most NPCs can be attacked and these are generally referred to as monsters. Monsters range from common, low-level creatures, such as chickens and goblins to unique, and often much more powerful monsters such as the King Black Dragon, Kalphite Queen, TzTok-Jad, or the Corporeal Beast.

Each type of monster has its own strengths and weaknesses. Demons, for example, have a weak defense against magical attacks, while most dragons have extremely high defense against magic. Monsters may either be aggressive or non-aggressive. Non-aggressive monsters ignore players unless attacked, while aggressive monsters may attack all players or may only attack players with combat levels below a specified level, depending on the circumstances or location. This can make certain areas throughout Gielinor dangerous or inconvenient to players with lower combat levels.

RuneScape also features independent minigames, although most are only available to paying members. Minigames take place in certain areas and normally involve specific in-game skills, and usually require players to cooperate or to compete with each other. Examples of these minigames include Castle Wars, which is similar to the real-life game Capture the Flag, Pest Control, a highly combat-focused minigame, and Fist of Guthix, where one player (the hunter) tries to stop another player (the hunted) from collecting charges into a magical stone.
