Limp Richard
MinorHe hunches over his book like a secret keeper, pale snout twitching at imagined worlds. Glasses magnify eyes alight with quiet wonder amid the grit. There's a comforting oddity to his lean, as if the dungeon's madness hasn't touched his page-turning peace.
Limp Richard debuts in book 3 as a level 36 non-combatant mole-man shopkeeper whose bookish calm offers crawlers a quirky respite from the dungeon's early chaos. Lounging with sci-fi novels before shifting to his counter amid dusty shelves of rarities like the Battery Fabricator, he transitions from atmospheric background figure to a subtle, reliable resource for floor navigation. His non-aggressive NPC role underscores the series' blend of whimsy and utility, hinting at potential deeper integration in later crawls.
Physical Description
Short and squat like an anthropomorphized mole, his pale skin stretches over pronounced mole features—a twitching snout, small rounded ears, and clawed digits. Thick glasses perch on his face, magnifying beady eyes focused intently on a tattered sci-fi paperback with a cat on the cover. He leans in a perpetual slouch, dressed in dusty shopkeeper's apron and simple clothes cluttered with shop odds, exuding a relaxed, scholarly air amid his wares.
