Notable features | Former Random event |
The Drunken Dwarf wanders the world giving Kebabs and beer to anyone who talks to him, then teleporting away to other places. He is also a former RuneScape Random Event, and has a number of Quest and miniquest appearances.
See locations for where he has been spotted.
Appearances
Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf
The Drunken Dwarf is seen in the final cutscene of the Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf quest. After the quest, if you see the dwarf and talk to him, he will speak of your "kebab stories" from the end of the quest and give you your beer and kebab as normal.
Swan Song
During Swan Song, the Drunken Dwarf is seen harassing the Wise Old Man outside of the Pyramid Plunder pyramid, where he was subsequently vaporized by the Wise Old Man.
My Arm's Big Adventure
During the My Arm's Big Adventure quest, the Drunken Dwarf will wander too close to the goutweed that My Arm is attempting to grow and will be thrown off a mountain. A nameless newborn troll then attempts to eat his leg, earning the name Drunken Dwarf's Leg.
Court Cases
The Drunken Dwarf is a participant in the Court Cases Distraction and Diversion, in the case of the Drunken Dwarf versus Botros. In the case he is alleged to have assaulted the character Botros whilst skilling; it is up to the player to decide whether to prosecute on behalf of Botros or defend the drunken dwarf. For completing the case the player will be rewarded with 5000 attack xp for prosecuting or 5000 defence xp for defending the drunken dwarf.
The case also gives the additional reward of 20 gold ore and a kebab. It does not matter whether or not the player prosecutes or defends; they will still receive the additional reward.
Festival of the Dead
A matey of the Drunken Dwarf that died during My Arm's Big Adventure arrives at the festival to honour the Drunken Dwarf that died in the My Arm's Big Adventure quest.
He claims to be the Drunken Dwarf's matey and implies that there are many Drunken Dwarves.
Random event (Discontinued)
As a random event, he would occasionally appear and talk to players. If the player responded, the dwarf would give them a kebab and a beer. If the player ignored him, he would throw rocks at the player which hit a max of 2 hitpoints, (the equivalent of 20 lifepoints) capable of hitting through even the Protect from Missiles prayer. He would not stop unless the player talked to him.
He could be killed using a combative familiar (if you were in multicombat), and upon death would just drop regular bones.
It was widely disputed that this random event was unfair, because if the player lagged, he/she would most likely have died as a result.
Quotes:
- 'Ere, matey, 'ave some 'o the good stuff.
- Dun ignore your matey!
- I hates you [insert player's name]!
- Aww comeon, talk to ikle me [insert player's name]!
If the player died or logged out, the Dwarf would exclaim:
- Aw me is all alone... and disappear.

Trivia
- If the Drunken Dwarf killed the player near their respawn point, such as Lumbridge, he would continue to attack them once they respawned.
- In Swan Song, the Drunken Dwarf is revealed to have 400 life points.
- When the Drunken Dwarf appeared the player would hear a unique whistling sound. This was an easy way to notice a Drunken Dwarf immediately if the player was doing a task that doesn't require full attention such as Woodcutting or Fishing.
- Though most dwarves still alive cannot or are not willing to use magic beyond casting Superheat Item, the Drunken Dwarf appears capable of teleporting all over Gielinor, and even into pocket dimensions not really part of Gielinor, such as those containing the Runecrafting Altars (not utilising the conventional means used to reach there).
- There is a strange bug which traps the Drunken Dwarf in the G.E. booth.
- In the Evolution of Combat beta, a bug allowed players to walk to Tutorial Island. The Drunken Dwarf was placed on the island by Jagex to remove the players that had reached the Island, by throwing a beer at them, which teleported them to Lumbridge.
