Haraxi Merchant

The Haraxi Merchant serves as your opportunity to sell loot and buy weapons, powerups, and more in "Space Friends".
The prompt for this character revolved around the idea of a 'dark trader' typically depicted in fantasy games, but in space. The species was to be mystical, unique, and slightly off-putting. Character-wise it became a cross between a hoarder and a dragon: which is to say its a beast that protects its loot, both valuables and junk. The Merchant, its layer, and its ship are SO alien, we had a readability issue promoting them as a "buy/ sell" location in the demo, and had to add more evident indications.
I came up with Haraxi lore, I hope to see implemented in the game where the Haraxi Emperor is a creature of great size that inhabits a planet of its hoarded wears. Its junk empire has grown so vast it sent envoys off across the universe to expand its possessions and territory. Each Haraxi envoy is given a quota to fill and once it has achieved a certain amount of wealth, it is given permission to return to the home-world.
