Shopkeeper

are recurring characters in.

Freddie Merchantry hails from the same world as CoH:, where he runs various shops hidden throughout the NecroDancer's crypt. In, he fills the same role, having several shops throughout CoH:. His location can be found by following the sound of his singing, which becomes louder the closer he is.

Much like in his original appearance in Crypt of the NecroDancer, he can be fought as an enemy if struck by an explosive, which he hints at with his warning towards CoH:, CoH:, CoH: or CoH: to watch where they place their CoH: inside his shop. If struck by one, he will begin to chase the heroes and attack them. Unlike other enemies, he can move on every beat and move in any direction, including diagonally. When hit, he'll teleport a few spaces away and leave a CoH: directly under their feet. He'll also use a bow to fire arrows at the heroes whenever they're out of reach.

Upon defeat, he drops a CoH: which can be used to buy any item for free, though using it to buy his goods will cause him to attack. He can also be encountered in CoH:, where he drops a CoH: instead.
