Mysterious Trader

The is an NPC that can be found during a run.
He sells items such as and Weapons.
Also, he can appear in a Cage. In this case he will offer a random Buff or weapon at a reduced price.
The items in the shop cost 1 to 3 maximum HP limit. For each of the items purchased in the shop, the player's maximum health will decrease by the items' costs. The player cannot purchase an item that has a cost equal to or higher than their maximum health.
* The Sale Buff can reduce the item cost by 1, but not less than 1 (unless he is rescued, such that price can be reduced to 0).
* Under the condition, the Buff bubble costs 2 HP limit, while the weapons cost 2-6 HP limit.
If a Buff is bought in this case, it acts as an extra Buff, and does not occupy standard Buff slots. Buffs that the player already owns will not spawn.
* In multiplayer, even though only the player who bought it will lose HP, everyone on the team is benefited by the acquired Buff.
He is the only source to get Strength Potion in a run, other than reforging.

:*"See what you need"
*After being rescued from a Cage:
:*"How is my hat?! How is my hat?!"
*Purchasing something after rescuing him:
:*"You may need it."
== Trivia ==
* This NPC was added in Update 2.2.0.
** When first added, his prices weren't affected by the "Store price +100%" condition.
* If the player doesn't have enough Max HP to buy an item, they will say "It is... breathtaking".
** In Chinese iteration, they will say "这东西要命了", which can be roughly translated to "This is lethal."
* There was a glitch that if a player bought a Buff and restarted the floor, the player could keep the Buff without losing maximum health.
** It was partly patched in Update 2.2.2 where the Buff would be lost if the game application had been restarted.
** In Update 2.2.6, it was completely patched.
* In Update 2.3.5, if the player only bought Buff Bubbles from this NPC, they only cost maximum health on the current level. Upon entering new levels, the maximum health would be recovered (but not the lost health). This glitch didn't occur if the player also bought a weapon.
* Buying items from him count as losing health. However, this is different from the negative effect of Pill which counts as "taking damage" instead.
* The Health Buff could be purchased from the for 1 max HP, effectively giving 3 max HP for free. Potentially, the player can purchase another 3-HP item from him, effectively gaining them without losing any max health.
* Before Update 2.5.5, Buff Bubbles would cost 3 max HP under the "Store price +100%" condition.
* Since Update 2.7.0, he appears with a small cloud raining above his head when seen in his shop.
* In Update 2.7.0, his prices were all 1 HP, but Strength Potion costed 2 HP. This bug was patched in Update 2.7.1.
* Since Update 2.9.0 where Strength Potion becomes a weapon, his shop may show the potion at first pad, while not selling any Buff Bubble in this case. Before that, his shop always contained one Buff Bubble.
