Diango is a non-player character whom Jagex added to RuneScape on 1 April 2004, as part of an April Fools' joke. Players requesting horses have been around practically since the beginning. Diango was added to sell "horses" in his store, Diango's Toy Store, in Draynor Village. Fitting the part, Diango wears a cowboy hat, chaps, and even boots with spurs on them. However, Diango actually sells toy horseys. He was also part of a practical joke the next year, when he started selling "dragon plates", spinning plates with a dragon on them. These arrived on 4 April 2005. As Diango says, they were supposed to be there on the 1st but someone stole them since they thought they were Dragon plates as in Dragon platebody armour.
On 1 April 2008, Diango started to sell Dragon Kites; not the dragon kite shields players had long been hoping for but a kite players may actually fly. The kite is red with a picture of a dragon on it. Players can purchase the kites by talking to Diango and asking about the dragon kites. They cost 100 coins each. Players can wield the kite and have it float alongside them or choose the Fly option and fly the kite for a moment in a strong breeze.
Diango takes up the shop in Draynor and also sells his toy horses and plates. Additionally, he will return all non-tradeable holiday items to anyone who lost theirs, as long as they originally received them from the holiday event. He is occasionally involved in holiday events, such as the 2006 Hallowe'en event and the 2005 Christmas event.
A hidden update on 16 December 2008 allowed players to right-click on him to claim holiday items.
He sells no new items after 1 April 2009.
It appears his name is a reference to the 1966 cowboy movie Django.
