👉 A Deserted Shop is a treacherous special room disguised as a standard shop, hiding a dangerous Gargantuan Mimic.
ℹ️ Description
A Deserted Shop is a GnollHack-specific special room designed to trick unsuspecting adventurers. To the casual observer, it appears to be a normal shop, complete with the cityscape floor and several items. However, the shop is completely deserted and there is no shopkeeper. Instead, some of the items are actually mimics waiting to ambush you, and one of them is a deadly Gargantuan Mimic. When defeated, the Gargantuan Mimic will drop a wand of identify.
🗺️ Generation
The deserted shop is a one-of-a-type special room, meaning it generates only once per game. It has a chance to generate randomly in place of a normal shop between dungeon levels 10 and 20 (in the Dungeons of Doom). It mimics the exact structure of a real shop (a room with one door and no stairs).
