Who or what is your favorite Shopkeeper?

The merchant from RE4 is mine, he’s awesome.

This absolute madlad once tried to sell me his own sister.

It's gotta be re4's merchant for me, there's no one else I am actually quoting aloud in my day to day life. I still say "what're ya buyin" and it's likely been 10+ years since I last replayed 4.

Very close runner up is the original links awakening shopkeeper...

I like her design but she also kind of feel out of place in a Zelda game, looking at her hair and shirt she'd almost fit a sci-fi game more.

The shopkeepers in SoulCalibur III are playable, and Lynette is best girl.

Valeria is right there and is my favourite shopkeep, she is, if anything, proof that someone at namcos project soul team took their breast movement physics very seriously. Valeria has the exact amount of jiggle that would occur in such a dress, for a woman with that size/density that is not, I repeat, NOT!, augmented by a surgeon.

I drew the major once based on Shirows artwork, and I went out of my way to remove the unnatural look from her breasts, he clearly used a fitness model from the late 80's as his base for the design of that image specifically. That took longer than anything else to draw.

I would argue that this was projects souls rebuttal to the dead or alive team going with bowl of jelly physics for their female characters, because it was honestly way too much effort to go to, given that it's more more subtle than the jelly bowl movement.

I initially came here to comment about the Resi 4 merchant, but he's a pretty popular option, so I'm going to go with the used boat saleman from The Secret of Monkey Island:

Just look at that animation, absolute insanity.
We also have Rodin from Bayonetta who I think is a lot of fun:
