Line 11:
{{examples}}
== [[Platform Game
* Many of the shops hidden in the ruins of ''[[La-Mulana]]'' are hidden behind walls. Some just sell ammo, but others (including one [[Guide Dang It]] example) sell vital and otherwise unobtainable [[Plot Coupon
* The dungeons of ''[[Spelunky]]'' have, besides the ordinary emporiums, gambling parlors, kissing booths and the super-secret Black Market. The shopkeepers are tough and well-armed, [[Shoplift and Die|as players may find out the painful way]], meaning that it is actually reasonable for them to have made it through the dungeons. That still doesn't explain why they feel the need to serve the vast customer base that typically appears miles underground. Or why they don't just grab the gold lying around themselves.
* Hammer sets up shops like this in the ''[[Castlevania]]'' games. Seeing as how he's a former military man and is seen with a bazooka at one point, it's fair to assume he can take care of himself.
Line 20:
* The merchant in ''[[Prehistorik Man]]'' sets up shop in pretty much any non-friendly territory...though he'd not get close to the haunted [[Nothing but Skulls|Dinosaur Graveyard]].
== [[Role Playing Game
* ''[[Torchlight]]'' has them. Possibly justified by the fact that they're travelling goblin (who might get a free pass from some of the dungeon's inhabitants) merchants.
* ''[[Wild Arms]] 5'' has them in little jack-in-the-boxes.
Line 50:
* Happens three times in ''[[The Legend of Dragoon]]'': A (justified) merchant in Hellena Prison and the four brothers [[Gratuitous Spanish|Primero, Tercero, Segundo and Quarto]]. The first two are met in a frozen glacier, the latter in an abandoned, mystical ruin.
* ''[[Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter]]'' has the three puppet ladies, who sell up items, weapons and the like in areas where no normal citizen would be able to even ''reach''. They also [[Took a Shortcut|move faster than the player's party]], somehow...
* ''[[Legacy of the Wizard]]'' has over three dozen shops in the dungeon, not counting [[Trauma Inn
* The last merchant in ''[[Nox]]'' sits rather uncomfortably on the edge between the [[Grim Up North|Land of the Dead]] and the [[Swamps Are Evil|Dismal Swamp]], within running distance of the [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|Necromancers' fortress]].
* There's only one of these shopkeepers in ''The Haunted Ruins'', but she keeps showing up lower and lower down. As she does, her sprite [[Glamour Failure|slowly shifts]] (and she keeps insisting that the change is all in your head.)
