'''Party Pete''' is a [[non-player character]] who runs the Falador [[Party Room]] . He also seems to be wearing a [[red partyhat]]. Players can talk to him to find out more about the Party Room. Players can buy [[afro]]s from [[Party Pete's Emporium|his shop]] for 50 coins. As well as celebration cakes, and candles.

Party Pete is apparently the brother of [[Prison Pete]], [[Parroty Pete]], [[Postie Pete]], [[Pumpkin Pete]] and [[Pious Pete]], and cousin to [[Pirate Pete]]. This is something of an anomaly, since we would expect siblings' surnames to be identical, not their given names. It is very unusual for parents to have four children and give all of them the same given name. Their last names may be Pete, with their given names being Party, Parroty, Pirate, and Postie. This is supported by [[Megan]] when [[Court Cases/Party Pete vs His Neighbours|Pete is in prison]] by referring to him as "Mr. Pete".

He is also the winner of a dance championship. If you ask him about it, he will dance in front of you for a certain amount of time. During this dance he performs the Dance emote created before the High Detail update. This dance is now no longer usable by players. Also Party Pete has got a chameleon. If the player asks how he got it he will say he got it for Christmas. Non-members can also see his pet. He is one of the very few known NPC's to train summoning as he talks about himself not having enough experience in summoning in order to speak to his [[Karma the chameleon|chameleon]]. He is also responsible for writing the [[game book]] found on the bookshelves of [[player-owned house]]s.

When the [[Friend in need]] [[aura]] is activated, Party Pete will be teleported to you and distract your opponent by dancing. This delays the opponent's next attack. If he is summoned while not in combat, he will disappear and tell you that you need to be fighting.

Party Pete may also be a parody of the character [[Wikipedia:Disco Stu|Disco Stu]] from [[Wikipedia:The Simpsons|''The Simpsons'']], given their names and the way they dress and act.
==History==

He used to be in [[Seers' Village]] (a members-only area), but the Party Room was moved to Falador in the [[Update:King's Ransom|King's Ransom update]] of [[24 July]] [[2007]] so that [[Free-to-play|non-members]] can use it{{CiteGeneral | url = http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=872 | title = King's Ransom | accessdate = 2011-07-07 | date = 2007-07-24 | work = RuneScape Game Updates | publisher = Jagex | quote = The Party Room previously in Seers' Village has moved to the north-east of Falador, which means all of our free players can now attend other players' parties or host their own!}}.

A Guaranteed Content Poll was started on the [[13 November]] [[2007]], which asked players to vote for an individual NPC and a group to be graphically updated. Party Pete was the NPC chosen, with 27% of submitted votes{{CiteGeneral | url = http://poll.runescape.com/results.ws?id=206 | title = Guaranteed Content - Graphics | accessdate = 2011-07-07 | date = 2007-11-13 | work = Poll Results archive | publisher = Jagex}}. Jagex announced [[Update:Guaranteed Content Poll results|the results]] on the [[20 November]], stating that the new version would be introduced "early next year"{{CiteGeneral | url = http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=971 | title = Guaranteed Content Poll results | accessdate = 2011-07-07 | date = 2007-11-20 | work = RuneScape Website updates | publisher = Jagex}}.

In [[Update:Behind the Scenes - May (2008)|Behind the Scenes of May 2008]], Jagex announced the imminent arrival of Party Pete's new look, saying he would have a new haircut, new clothes, and new animations{{CiteGeneral | url = http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=1200 | title = Behind the Scenes - May | accessdate = 2011-07-07 | date = 2008-05-01 | work = RuneScape news archive | publisher = Jagex | quote = You wouldn't find Party Pete fighting trolls in Troll Stronghold - that would mess up his marvellous new 'fro! That's right, Party Pete has an appointment with the Makeover Mage, all thanks to your votes in the Guaranteed Content Poll. Expect a startling new 'do, threads and moves.}}. On the [[13 May]] [[2008]], Party Pete was given a makeover in the [[Update:Party Pete and TzHaar Improvements|Party Pete and TzHaar Improvements update]]{{CiteGeneral | url = http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=1190 | title = Party Pete and TzHaar Improvements | accessdate = 2011-07-07 | date = 2008-05-13 | work = RuneScape Game Updates | publisher = Jagex | quote = Party Pete seems to be very proud of his fabulous new look and he can’t wait to show it off to everyone in RuneScape. He has had a complete makeover, with clothes and accessories that suit his fun-loving lifestyle. If you want to check out his new threads (and groovy moves), head over to the Party Room to join in with his celebrations.}}. {C
Party Pete also received a chameleon for Christmas in 2008 named [[Karma the chameleon]].

==Trivia==
*Party Pete's pet Karma the chameleon indicates that Party Pete must have 90 summoning or above, yet he doesn't have 99 as he says his [[summoning]] level isn't high enough to talk to Karma.
*When Party Pete's look changed in May 2008, he now uses the HD dance emote.
*Party Pete is one of the few NPCs to wear glasses.
*Before his graphical change, he used to stay in the same south-east corner of the [[Party Room]].
*Prior to the 1 July 2008 graphical update, he was the first person to use the updated dance emote.
*He, [[Lucy (Party Room)|Lucy]], [[Megan]], and the [[Wise Old Man]] are the only NPCs to be wearing a partyhat (other than [[Zenevivia]] after Love Story).
*Party Pete is the only [[NPC]] to have three head items: his [[red partyhat]], glasses and a [[Brown afro]].
*Previous to Party Pete's graphical update, and his transfer to [[Falador]], he was bald and wore different clothes.
*At the dancefloor in the Grim Reaper's house (2010) and during a court trial, Party Pete does not seem to be wearing his sunglasses. In the court trial, his chathead still wears glasses. This is likely also the fact for the Grim Reaper's house{{fact|This needs confirmation with evidence, for example a video or image.}}.
