Journal Run Recap sticker

The Caveman Shopkeeper is a special NPC found running their own Shops within backlayers of normal levels. They are aspiring entrepreneurs seeking to impress their friends with their profits.

Behavior

Within his Shop, the Shopkeeper will typically sell items easily accessible to a regular Caveman, but will occasionally carry much more valuable stock.

Because the Caveman Shopkeeper does not have a proper grasp of the value of Treasure compared to that of his wares, he sells his items at a massive discount:

• Rock
• Skull
• Pot
• Wooden Arrow
• Boomerang
• Pet
• Cooked Turkey
• Any item from Tun's Shop item pool except for Metal Shield (1% chance)

A standard Caveman Shop.

When angered, they act identically to other Cavemen, however they will constantly be in their charge state regardless if whether or not the player was in their sight line.

After angering a Caveman Shopkeeper, future Caveman Shops will no longer spawn, and on levels that would have had a Caveman Shop, a Tun Shop will generate instead. Cavemen will also spawn more frequently, multiplying their spawn chance value by .75 (1.25x more common). These effects are permanent and last for the rest of the run.

Shop prices are affected by the Crown and The True Crown. Crown gives a 50% discount, while The True Crown causes items to be worth double and overrides Crown's discount. Unique dialog can be seen by entering Caveman Shops with Crown or The True Crown.

Notes

• Obtaining a pot from the Caveman Shopkeeper may actually net a slight profit, as even small gold nuggets typically give more money than the pot's price.
• The Caveman Shopkeeper may sell any item from Tun's Shop item pool. Because of this, one may find a Caveman Shopkeeper selling a Hired Hand or even a Plasma Cannon, despite all odds, sold for only $1,000.
• Hired Hands sold by Caveman Shopkeepers have full trust, just like Hired Hands sold in Tun's Curio Shops.
