It's Pete!
The jingle that plays when Pete appears.

Postie Pete is a sentient skull and postman. He delivers all of the 'Postbag from the Hedge' letters to their destinations and ventures into whatever dangerous places he must to get there - although he can never be seen to do this in-game, preferring instead to pop up around Castle Wars, the Falador Party Room, Varrock Palace library, Ice Mountain, the Laughing Miner Pub, the Bandit Camp general store in the Wilderness, and the Ardougne Zoo.

He can speak over 1,000 languages, including wyvern, and when you encounter him he usually tells a rather weak joke. Before leaving the place he has spawned, he says I'd better head off., a pun on his lacking of a torso. Postie Pete will spend around 512 ticks in a given location, before moving on to the next one in the cycle.[1]

He also appears to take the player to the evil twin random event.

Locations

Postie Pete will rotate appearances to each location in the order listed below, excluding appearances of the random event:
