Thank you to my granddaughter and one other younger wizard who wishes to remain anonymous. I’ll admit this one is tenuous but when more than one younger wizard asks, I had to admit it is certainly plausible.
Prospector Zeke is an NPC found in the main area of each World usually near his friend and companion Eloise Mayweather. He offers a variety of Quests (known to young Wizards as the “Zeke Quests“) that require locating various creatures or items throughout Wizards’ travels. Completing these Quests gives Wizards Training Points and typically a Badge that is relevant to the World that the quest is completed in. All of Zeke’s lost curios are references to musical artists.
Zeke is also a Vendor, selling 1-Day version Mounts.
Stinky Pete (or simply known as the Prospector) is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Al McWhiggin, owner of Al’s Toy Barn) of Disney•Pixar’s 1999 animated film Toy Story 2. He is a vintage pull-string prospector ragdoll from the 1950s TV series Woody’s Roundup. He is still inside his original box. His accessories include a pickaxe and a gold pan. Later in the film, he becomes Woody’s arch-nemesis.
Toy Story 2 is a 1999 American animated adventure comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios, and the first sequel to Toy Story. It is the second installment in the Toy Story franchise and was directed by John Lasseter from a screenplay by Andrew Stanton, Rita Hsiao, Doug Chamberlin, and Chris Webb. Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Don Rickles, Jim Varney, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Annie Potts, R. Lee Ermey, John Morris, Laurie Metcalf and Jeff Pidgeon reprise their roles from the first film. In the film, Woody is stolen by a greedy toy collector, prompting Buzz Lightyear and his friends to save him, but Woody is then tempted by the idea of immortality in a museum.
Kelsey Grammer stars as Stinky Pete, an elderly prospector doll and member of the Roundup gang. When Woody meets him, he is still in his original box. He is eager to be sold to the museum and tries to stop Woody from going back to Andy.
