Editing Petya

'''Petya''' (previously '''Popota''') is a character from ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. He is a young boy from the town of [[Mur]].

Petya is a rambunctious young child who regularly sneaks out of the village to play in the wilderness; however, he always returns in time for dinner and bed. One day while playing outside the village, he found an unconscious [[Ortega]] and alerted the villagers. As Ortega, whom he called "Peredvizhnik" (previously "Papagatero" and "Pokapa") recovered in Mur, the two of them became close; Ortega compared Petya to [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|his child]] back home. Before leaving the village to continue his journey, Ortega gifted Peyta [[Ortega's Helm|his helmet]] to remember him by. In the years thereafter, Petya continued to idolize Ortega.

When the Hero visits Mur, Petya initially mistakes them for Ortega before correcting himself. Upon learning they are Ortega's child, Petya gives them Ortega's helm, believing it belongs with them. Afterwards, Petya will ask if the Hero can one day bring Ortega back to the village.

==Trivia==
*In the NES version, Ortega gifted Petya a [[Water blaster]].
