The shopkeeper in Star Fox Adventures

God, that's such a grating voice.

Am I the only person who thinks they actually should make a new Star Fox game in which she is the main villain?

Seriously, the Evil Gypsy Shopkeeper is EVIL. You just know she's only in that store to bide her time and wait for Andross and the Aparoids to be destroyed by you. She only sold stuff to you so you can help destroy her opponents...she manipulated Fox. The next thing you know, she will hold Lylat within her own claws, ordering them all to "pay thiiiiis much." And if you cannot pay? That's toooo low...and you will lose your body, soul, and mind. Body warped into a mindless abomination, merged with cybernetics in a method that would make Giger himself cower in fear. Mind bound into a mechanical scarab, thinking only of destruction and of playing her little gaaaaaaaaame. Soul completely torn asunder, scattered across the Lylat star system, discarded, trash, useless.

She is out there...why were you unable to attack her. If only you were programmed to be able to do so otherwise, but no...this all could have only been averted.


But on the plus side, she'd have completely eradicated Prince Tricky, so I guess that balances it all out a bit. :P

I thought the shopkeeper was a woman because she sounded like an old lady. *shrugs*


OKay I just came up with a completely demented idea for a star fox game with her as the villain. XD I had to put it on the WMG page for STarfox.

The shopkeeper is intentionally androgynous.

Like a horrible, reptilian version of NiGHTS.

Female reptiles wouldn't have mammaries anyways. *Shrugs* Course she still doesn't have a figure - all I just went by was her voice, which sounds feminine. :P

^Oh, look. THAT joke.

I do believe the dinosaur in the well referred to the shopkeeper as being male.

Then again, he was insane...

She was secretly planning on warping herself into an Eldritch Abomination, the likes of which only seen by Pathways Into Darkness. She only was staying in that store to collect scarabs. She had no intention of helping Fox out at all, she only wanted him to give her scarabs. Scarabs with which to further her perverse plan. This plan will involve taking innocent people from the Lylat system and then separating their bodies, mind, and soul from each other, twisting them into an Eldritch Abomination. Their bodies will be twisted into mechanical constructs that would be worthy of an H.R. Giger or Darkseed style mindscrew. (Albeit with less phallic emphasis) Some people will have parts removed from their bodies, and she is not one to waste them. She will graft them onto the next Eldritch Abomination she creates. The minds of her victims are twisted with the pain of being separated from the soul, and are sewn into other abominations of her creation...the very scarabs that Fox was giving to her in exchange for the items she had. It is a fate worse than death, as these scarabs will have their will removed, only being able to think about how much they must pay her. The soul however, from the pain inflicted on it by being separated from the mind and body are used as the building blocks of her own dimension, an Eldritch Location. From there, the evil witch plots her next move...knowing fully well that she cannot be traced into this dimension at all, and if anyone dares follow her, they will be forced to withstand the most brutal deconstruction of the Nostalgia Filter of all time. Not only will you be forced to see your own childhood, but every trauma will be replayed to you, and any joy you had when you were a child will be twisted, perverted, and demented into a tempest of incredible horror. Even when Fox enters, he will relive everything, from the fight against Andrew to Pigma twisted into a giant monster by the Aparoids. The people who are trapped in this dimension eventually lose all semblence of humanity or anthro-nity, and their sanity, too. They are reduced to a shell of their former self, almost reduced into toys or other such stuff. Fox will encounter other expeditions sent into this dimension, with only stuff like a plush toy moaning to themselves, a deflated pool toy that was once somebody else, an expedition leader turned into an Unobtanium statue out of fear, insane people who have merely frozen in place, twisted clockwork people, people who have, out of fear, been reanimated into zombies after taking their own lives, or risking a pain worse than death, forced into a quantum immortality even as their physical form is warped into that of a demented toy or worse. The evil shopkeeper by this point had merged with this dimension, becoming something that would be most comparable to Giygas or Cthulhu. She tugs at his own sanity, as well as the sanity of everyone else, as they are forced to stand up to her, separated from their friends and comrades and forced to fight the evil demented goddess of this hellish dimension all by themselves. In their mind? Fox, Krystal, Falco, Slippy and the others? They're dead. Deader Than Dead. But they do not know where they truly are... And yet Fox will be bothered because, after all, he could have prevented this, if only he had just taken out that staff and killed that witch back on Dinosaur Planet. But on the plus side, Prince Tricky will have been twisted into a deliberately annoying abomination and will be a mid-game boss, so I guess that balances all of the horror out.
Did you have fun writing this?

Yes. :P It's why you should be glad I don't work for Nintendo or any of the developers whose games they publish.

Bad things happen when I get bored.

It seems someone agrees with you.

General Scales, as the shopkeeper's right-hand man, threatened Dinosaur Planet in order to lure the Star Fox team to Dinosaur Planet; while the Krazoa Spirits set Fox upon a complex quest to gather scarabs for there master, disguised as a quest to save Krystal and bring Dinosaur Planet back together. In the end, the shopkeeper used some of the newly amassed scarabs to draw up enough power to create a decoy enemy to avert any suspession from herself, and crafted this decoy enemy in the shape of Andross from Fox's memories. In this way, General Scales could fake his death and return back to his master alive; and later to further make sure that she would not be opposed, she created the Aparoids to weaken the Lylat system's military forces. It is still up in the air if there is any hope of stopping her now at her full power though...
