When landing on an empty space, there is a chance of encountering a Special Event NPC. An orange exclamation mark will appear above the adventurer. Sometimes it is a good thing, but it seems most often to not work out the way you hope.
In Dokapon Kingdom, certain NPCs cannot be encountered if you do not have enough money to afford their service. This includes Gutz, Mitch Digger, Risque, and Robo-Agent.
An old man in a robe. He will ask for you to give him 1/4 of your money.
If you give him the money, he may be thankful (turn into the Goddess of Generosity in Kingdom). He/She will give you a random valuable item for your good deed and go away. Sometimes, it will actually be an old man who will just disappear or do nothing.
If you don't give him the money, he may just disappear. However, if he is angry (the Goddess in Kingdom), he/she will curse you with a status effect.
If you don't have any money, he will give you a rare item such as a Guided Warp or a Deathblock.
Business President[]
Appearing only in Dokapon DX, the president requests you for a favor.
Business President as he appears in Dokapon DX.
He is hiring you to join a company with a branded weapon or shield you have. If you choose to accept it, he will be happy, so you can get a new weapon, or have your weapon appear on TV. If your weapon is a different brand, you'll be fired.
Doctor Exiles[]
Doctor Exiles (ブラック JJ - Black JJ) is a shady looking doctor with scars and a white coat. He claims to be a traveling doctor, though he overcharges for his services and can't be refused. If the adventurer is at full health with no status effects, he will charge 2,500G * the current week for a "check up". If the adventurer is not at full health or has a status effect, Doctor Exiles will heal them to full and remove status effects but instead charges 5,000G * the current week for the service. He can't cure Doom. Because of his high cost, he'll likely put an adventurer into debt unless they had a lot of money prior to encountering Doctor Exiles.
In DX, he is a surgery man, and he can increase your stats, or you can attack others to decrease stats.
Gutz the Blacksmith[]
Gutz in Dokapon DX
Gutz in Dokapon Kingdom.
A young man with a hammer. He offers to try to make you something, but you have to pay 3,000G * the current week upfront (in Kingdom). He may fail, but when he does succeed, the item will probably be better than what you have. However, there is a slight chance that he will give you equipment of lesser value than yours.
In Dokapon DX, he is no longer a weapon builder. He is now a weapon fixer where he can upgrade your weapon at the cost of money. However you lose the brand name, and if you have a business pass, you'll be fired.
Merchant[]
In Ikari no Tekken and DX, it's a man who wanders and sells rare items, and even treasure.
In 3-2-1 and Kingdom, It's Kira, who appears to be dressed in a Native American outfit.
Their inventories includes rare items such as Fashion Magazines (Kingdom), Charm Potions, Skeleton Keys, and Treasure (Ikari no Tekken and DX). You can also try to rob them; if you succeed, Kira will give you 3 rare items or field magics, While the man will give you a rare treasure.
Leane the Village Girl[]
Leane the Village Girl needs a object delivered.
Machiko in DX.
Leane (村娘 レイン Village Girl Rein) is a shy girl who was given the task of delivering a Local Item to a town. Since she happened to find you she wants to give you the task of delivering it instead. If you accept, she will give you the local item, and if you deliver it soon, you will get a large sum of cash from the mayor. The sooner you deliver the item the better. You must delivery the item within 30 days to receive a reward, otherwise the mayor will pay you nothing. You can always check where the item is supposed to go by looking at it in your inventory. You can also sell the item or send it to the king as a gift.
The formula that determines what the delivery pays out is as follows:
Total Gold Rewarded = 200G * (31 - days to deliver) * (week number Leane visited)
If the total reward would fall below 0G, the amount rewarded is 0G.
For example, accepting Leane's delivery during Week 25 and delivering it in 13 days rewards the player 200g * (31 - 13) * 25, or 90,000G.
In DX, this role is filled by Machiko. She wears a cat suit. She will be very happy if you accept it. You'll have to deliver the item to a local town on an island. Be warned: she will get angry and you lose money if that gift goes wrong, or she will get depressed if you decline it.
Luchil the Dancer[]
Luchil needs your help.
Appearing only in the world, she is along with tap. What she needs you to do is to play a quick rhythm game.
The gameplay looks simular to Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Hatsune Miku Project Diva.
The rhythm gameplay.
Make sure you hit the notes correctly. If you pass the clear line, you'll get an amazing reward.
Mitch Digger[]
A brown mole who tries to improve towns by drilling wells for them. He'll ask for a reasonable sum of money, but he often fails. When he drills, he will give a set of numbers between 2 and 6 (the more valuable the town, the fewer numbers you will receive) and run the spinner. If he does succeed, the value of the town (or occasionally, all your towns in a continent) will be doubled.
Mitch Digger will ask for 32g * the income of the towns he will build a well near.
News Reporter[]
News reporter appearing in DX.
Appearing in DX, a woman comes and walks to the right. If you poke her, she can write you an autograph or punish you.
If she punishes you, your stats get reduced. A player can kill you at anytime. (See Death)
Photographer[]
Appearing only in the World, this woman will take a picture of you, you'll have to pay a reasonable sum of money, and you'll receive a picture. You're not sure what to do with that...
Risque the Bandit[]
Risque (盗賊 リスキー Bandit Risky) is a thief wearing a blue outfit. He will offer to try to steal something from one of the other players, but you have to pay upfront. If you pay him, you choose who you want to steal from, and if you want him to take Items, Money, or Equipment.
If you choose "Items," he succeeds about half the time and will steal a random item or field magic from a player (costs 50G * the current week).
If you choose "Money," he succeeds about half the time and he will steal half of a player's money (costs 150G * the current week).
If you choose "Equipment," he has a very small chance of succeeding. He will steal a random weapon, shield, battle magic, or accessory from a player. (costs 600G * the current week)
Agent[]
Robo-Agent offering his services.
The Robo-Agent will offer to assassinate a target in exchange for 4219G times the current week. If the adventurer accepts, the Robo-Agent will hunt down the target as Robo-Sassin and that adventurer has a chance of encountering Robo-Sassin on any Empty Space for one week. If the target has twice the amount of gold that was paid to hire the Robo-Sassin, it may instead offer to double-cross their client in exchange for that amount of money and start stalking the original adventurer who hired it.
The Robo-Sassin's stats are always equal to 1.5x the highest stats among adventurers and it always selects Counter when Strike is used, making it difficult to kill without specific setups or several revives and Deathblocks. The target also cannot give up against the Robo-Sassin, though they can Escape, which will allow the target to leave the battle and end Robo-Sassin's hunt. Killing the Robo-Sassin will net the adventurer a lot of EXP, gold, and a chance to obtain the Criminal Studs accessory.
Roché[]
Roché appearing in Dokapon DX.
A boy in an animal costume who challenges you to a game of Roshambo (rock, paper, scissors).
If you lose, he will take a quarter of your money. In Ikari No Tekken he will sometimes give you a cursed item. In DX or Kingdom (isn't he a she), If you have debt and lose, he will erase your debt and you will now have zero gold. "You're in debt? That's pitiful!"
If you win he will give you all the money he has collected from players in the past, or nothing. In DX and Ikari No Tekken, you won't get any money.
School Boy[]
A boy who wears glasses and the News Reporter's brother, appearing in DX. He can give you item if you do not hit him. If you do so, you'll play a quick minigame. If you hit him in the right order, he will get angry, and you'll select a player to punish. The punished player will lose a lot of money. If you miss too much, he will take an item and run away.
Tax Collector Musashi[]
A stork who kindly offers to collect all the money in your towns for you. What he doesn't tell you is that he will take 10% to 80% of the earnings as a fee. He will not collect your local items. He can collect other towns taxes if you agree to give him 70% of the earnings on extremely rare occasions.
In Dokapon the World, he can send your cursed items to other players. Other players will have to pay an unreasonable amount of money through.
UFO[]
A flying saucer that swoops down and abducts you, removing you from the map until the start of your next turn. In Kingdom, The UFO will either subtract 1 from all of your stats, or add 1 to 2 to all of your stats, excluding HP.
Weber the Trickster[]
An evil character who wields the power of darkness. He will randomly appear to give you one of the 3 Cursed
I'm Weber. I've been waiting for you...
Weber as he appears in DX
Items. He can give you a Contract, but only if you have the Dark Mark. In DX, he is a mummy, and he can sometimes request you to become a Darkling, and if you're in last, he will give you a good item instead. Cursed Items can't be dropped or sold, but they can be forced upon another player if you defeat them in battle. When a Cursed Item is forced on a player whose inventory is full, they will have to get rid of a regular item in their inventory to make room for it.
Contract: If you are hearing the whispers of dark revenge, Weber may give you a Contract instead of a Cursed Item. Using the Contract will transport you to the Dark Space in Asiana if you're playing the kingdom version, Then you will be given the choice to become a Darkling. You can also go to the Dark Space without using this item. No effect if not hearing the whispers of the dark revenge.
Big Bug: This annoying white or real life-like item may randomly
Weber as he appears in Dokapon the World
decide to eat one of your Items or Field Magics each turn. If there is nothing for it to eat when it tries to eat something, it will fly away instead. Thus, it may behoove a character with the Big Bug to sell off or use all their Items and Field Magic to encourage the thing to leave. It is also possible for a big bug to eat another big bug if they are in the same inventory. (Note: there is a random chance it will eat another cursed item if you have one, but only if there are also non-cursed items in your inventory.)
Blackmail: A letter that activates after a random number of days (generally within a week) to summon the Grim Reaper, which instantly kills whoever is holding it. Using the item costs half your carried Cash, but forces it onto another living player except for Darklings. If you do not have at least 1G, or if your bag is sealed, you can't get rid of the Blackmail. (Note: If you die while holding the Blackmail, it will disappear.)
Nitroglycerin: this item has a chance to blow up whenever the holder is hit by Field Magic or attacked in battle, leaving the victim with only 1 HP. It is also possible to be saved from death by the Nitroglycerin if it activates from an attack that would have killed the holder. This would leave the holder at 1 HP rather than kill them.
Lottery[]
Only in Dokapon Journey, there is a large, apathetic woman who holds a lottery. Here you choose a ticket, which can either hold nothing or a large cash reward.
Mr. Green[]
In Dokapon Journey, Mr. Green, the man who controlled the casino and arena in previous games, is a random space event in this game. He has a very low chance of appearing on a space, where he will teleport everyone to the arena and they all fights, just like in Kingdom. An enemy named Sunshine will also appear there to fight. The winner of the tournament wins a large cash prize.
