Guys, does anyone have a guide to this game? Or a wiki? I just want to understand who this Houndoom is...
Houndoom is one of the two
shopkeepers (The other is Umbreon) that you may meet on your dungeon travels.
You can game-over to the two of them if you do
very specific things to force yourself in an unfavorable position when trading with them.
I think Umbreon asks for levels, and Houndoom inflicts a curse on you... or I'm messing the two up. Whichever it is...
Essentially, you can randomly meet them in the dungeon offering you a boon in exchange for burdening you by level-drain or by curse-attainment.
For Umbreon, if you drop below a certain level (20?? I don't remember) after trading with them, you get their gameover.
For Houndoom, if you have a certain amount of curses (4-5?) after trading with them, you get their gameover.
