The Demolitionist is an NPC vendor that will spawn once the following criteria have been met:

• There is an empty house.
• You have an explosive in your inventory.

If the Demolitionist is killed, he will only respawn if the above conditions are met again. This means you must place an explosive in your inventory. Having them stored in Chests will not fulfill this requirement.

Items sold

Once the Demolitionist has moved into a house, he will sell the following:

Inventory
Item	Cost	Availability
Grenade	4	Always available.
Bomb	5	Always available.
Dynamite	50	Always available.
Hellfire Arrow	1	If Wall of Flesh is defeated.

Note: As with all NPCs, right-clicking an item will allow multiple purchases rather than purchasing it one by one.

Trivia

• The Demolitionist's appearance seems to be based on dwarves from many games, films and works of literature. He is significantly shorter than other NPCs and has a beard. Furthermore, his mining helmet, lantern, and the fact that he sells Explosives fits the trope of dwarves preferring underground environments. He and the Arms Dealer also seem to have a rivalry.
  • The rivalry, especially when combined with the trivia below, may be a reference to the dislike between dwarves and elves (elves being especially deadly with bows and other ranged weaponry, like the Arms Dealer) in many fantasy games, books, and movies.
• One of the possible random names he can be generated with is Gimli, a reference to the dwarf character in the Lord of the Rings series. Another possible name is Urist, a reference to the popular, yet extremely difficult, indie game Dwarf Fortress.
