The **"Shady Merchant Father" Shield** (Japanese: **盾の"Mii's name"** *"Mii's name" Shield*) is a boss fought in the Great Pyramid alongside the "Shady Merchant Daughter" Blade.

This type of monster also makes an appearance as a Travelers' Hub quest monster. It looks the same (albeit with a Traveler's, or Traveler's Friend's face) and doesn't have an individual entry in the Monsters section of the Journal. Its moveset is slightly altered, being able to attack thrice instead per turn of once, and it's significantly stronger, being a post-game encounter. This version is fought alongside either two Doom Swords, or two Purple Woof-o'-the-Wisps.

## Appearance

The "Shady Merchant Father" Shield is orange with a red/yellow striped pattern on its edge. A cross slash mark can be seen on the right side of the shield (left on the official artwork for the Nintendo Switch version). The Shady Merchant Father's (Traveler's or their Friend's in post-game quests) face is plastered on the front of the shield and it has a handle on its back.

## History

### Encounter

The Shady Merchant Father, along with everyone else in Neksdor Town, gets his face stolen by the Dark Lord which forces the protagonist to go after him. The protagonist enters the pyramid in which the Shady Merchant Family (the daughter and father) faces appear, and then get stuck to the levitating blade and shield. After you defeat them, they will return to the Neksdor Town where they'll reward you with one of the Neksdor Jewels. They'll also decrease the price of the MP Candy they sell; however, it'll still be very overpriced - going from 500 G to 498 G.

### Post-game

The Travelers' Hub quest variant can randomly show up in the end of a temporary dungeon, this time with the client's (or their friend's) face. As previously mentioned, it also gets three attacks per turn. Defeating it will clear the quest.

## Enemy statistics

In the post-game there are two versions of the "Traveler" Shield, one encountered in low-level quests (around mid-20s), and one encountered in mid-level quests (around upper-30s). Each has their own stats, but they're significantly stronger compared to the Shield encountered in the main story. However, it's still weak to magic attacks. It will have different minions depending on the quest level.
