Demolitionist

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.
 * Merchant is alive.

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. The Demolitionist will lob grenades at nearby enemies to defend himself.

Names
The demolitionist may have any of the following names:

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.
 * Several of his names are also references to dwarf characters in fiction, such as Gimli from The Lord of the Rings or Beldin from The Belgariad. Fikod and Urist are generic dwarven names from Dwarf Fortress. Durim is a corruption of Durin, a dwarven king mentioned in J.R.R. Tolkien's books.
 * Morthal is a name of a Hold Capital in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
 * The Demolitionist's weapons—Grenades—are surprisingly powerful, considering how early-on he may spawn in the game. Thus, he can be a great help during blood moons.
