Rakshasa is a resource NPC in Cult of the Lamb.
Description[]
Rakshasa is a multicolored mantis shrimp that runs a restaurant that can be found in dungeons. He wears a white chef hat and has a cross drawn on his body in red. His location is indicated by a shop icon with a food banner.
Interactions[]
- Initially, Rakshasa can only be found in dungeons. He offers the Lamb 3 different types of goods in varying amounts. He can offer any type of food but will usually favor food that can be found in the area you are currently in. For example, Pumpkins while in Anura. He can also offer seeds for the same type of food.
- After meeting him in a dungeon once, he can be found outside the entrance to Anchordeep, and will sell the Lamb seeds. The seeds depend on the biomes unlocked: Darkwood grants
Berry Bush Seed and Camellia Seed, Anura grants Pumpkin Seed, Anchordeep grants Cauliflower Seed, and Silk Cradle grants Beetroot Seed. - Upon defeating The One Who Waits and interacting with ???, Rakshasa will double the price of his seeds. The player will still be able to purchase seeds from all biomes despite all but Darkwood being re-locked.
Secrets[]
Attacking the giant snail behind him will cause him to warn and insult the Lamb. After landing four hits on the snail, he will become angry and start attacking you with what seems to be a pitchfork. He has a lot more HP than a regular enemy but attacks like a regular knife-wielding enemy. Defeating him will cause him to give you a Blueprint for a Massive Monster Shrine decoration, which you can pray at during the night to earn a follower form. Once the Lamb defeats him, he will appear afraid and will whimper uneasily for the rest of the game, and will not have a reaction to you purchasing something during a crusade.

Trivia[]
- Rakshasa might be named after the race of demigods in Hindu mythology, also named "Rakshasa."
- Judging by his iridescent skin and appearance, it is likely that Rakshasa is based on a Mantis Shrimp.
- If you leave the arena Via Omnipresence after angering but not defeating him, he will increase the price of his seeds by +50% until you return to his shop on a Mission
- He is next to the door to Anchordeep since they are from the sea. This is simliar to Helob, the spider, being next to the door for Silk Cradle.
