Line 8:
Sometimes in an [[Role Playing Game|RPG]], The [[Recurring Traveller]] is a character who always happens to be staying in a bedroom of the same inn that your party is staying at. He may comment about being a tourist or sight-seer. He may give tips about the local environment, monsters, hazards and landmarks.
The [[Recurring Traveller]] is frequently used as a device to help the player when they're in a difficult area. If you run short of supplies after fighting your way through an especially dangerous area, the [[Recurring Traveller]] just happens to be someone who can either heal your party or let you replenish your inventory.

Line 60:
** It IS fairly odd, though, when you find Bottles inside a giant mechanical shark floating in the sewers.
* ''[[Shining Force]]'' contains a character named Boken who is apparently on a personal quest, which happens to take him to many of the same locations as you. He even has his own character sprite; oddly, though, he's never recruitable as a Force member, not even in the GBA remake.
* This is the case for all named, recruitable NPCs you meet in taverns in ''[[
* Raddle the Traveler and his sometime companion Rumina appear in the first three ''[[Star Ocean]]'' games, always hopelessly lost, and in fact giving them correct directions will get you prizes of some sort.
* There's a traveler in ''[[Sailor Moon: Another Story]]'' that keeps turning up in random places--first outside of Usagi's house, then he somehow pops up in the place inside of the Silver Crystal, then he pops up in the Black Moon Kingdom's UFO, then he pops up again in Crystal Tokyo. He's apparently very very lost.
Line 71:
* Many kids who give you challenges in ''[[Backyard Sports|Backyard Skateboarding]]''.
* ''[[Wild Arms 3]]'' has both a traveling Merchant and a young girl that is part of a lengthy sidequest.
* Wentos the Travelling Salesman from ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]''. Every once and a while you'll see him in a town (the places he visits are random) where he will sell you goods at randomly-generated prices. Sometimes you can buy a product from him at [[Game Breaker|less than the selling price]]. So basically, you can buy something from him and then [[Good Bad Bugs|sell it back immediately for a profit]].
* Not one, but ''three'' characters in ''[[Professor Layton]]''. We have Granny Riddle, who picks up lost puzzles for you, Pavel the guy who keeps getting lost, and Stachenscarfen. {{spoiler|Out of the three though, the first game revealed everyone as robots, and the second game revealed everyone as a ''hallucination'', so it's debatable about Granny Riddle and Stachenscarfen. Pavel has absolutely no excuse though.}}
* Dr. Edward in ''[[Pokémon Ranger]]: Guardian Signs'' is encountered several times throughout the game as he makes his rounds. {{spoiler|[[Chekhov's Gunman|He's actually]] [[The Man Behind the Man]].}}
