Meet the Merchboy K-9: Our First Official NPC

Say hello to the newest member of the Merchboy universe – our low-poly, high-loyalty K-9 NPC, fully suited up in a custom Merchboy Apparel Co. vest. 🐕🔥

This fox-style working dog is more than just background decoration. He’s the first in a growing squad of branded NPCs designed to bring the MERCHBOY world to life inside our 3D spaces and future games.

🐕 Who Is the Merchboy K-9?

Think of him as the unofficial security, tour guide, and hype man of the Merchboy universe.

  • Low-poly style, high-vibe energy – built to match the modern, game-ready POLYGON look.
  • Custom Merchboy service vest – bold red body, black straps, and our Merchboy Apparel Co. branding on the side.
  • Always on duty – whether he’s patrolling the scene or posted up next to your avatar, he’s there to rep the brand 24/7.

This NPC isn’t just “a dog in a game” – he’s part of the Merchboy story we’re building across apparel, digital spaces, and interactive experiences.

🌐 Where You’ll See Him

You’ll start spotting the Merchboy K-9 inside our evolving digital hangouts – from street-style plazas to future Merchboy mini-games and events.

  • Guarding the drop area – keeping watch where new virtual and physical drops are showcased.
  • Patrolling the scene – walking loops around your avatar, adding life and motion to the world.
  • Cameos in content – expect screenshots, clips, and story moments featuring our K-9 all over our socials.

As we expand the Merchboy universe, this NPC will be one of the first characters you recognize instantly – vest on, tail up, always on brand.

🧢 Why We Branded an NPC Dog

Merchboy has always been about more than just hats and hoodies. We’re building a world – a universe where the brand shows up in the details:

  • On your head in real life.
  • On your avatar in digital spaces.
  • And now, on the companions that move around you.

The Merchboy K-9 connects all of that. His vest feels like something you could actually buy, toss on your real dog, and then see mirrored on your digital companion in-world. That’s the direction we’re headed – synced physical and digital drip.

🐶 BroDog & Future Pet Drops

Yes, this NPC is also a sneak peek at where our BroDog™ ideas are going.

  • Pet bandanas and accessories that match your favorite hats.
  • Potential “service-style” vests for your real-life dog inspired by this exact in-world design.
  • Future rewards and experiences built around dog-themed NPCs and mini-games.

If you’ve ever wanted your pets to be part of the Merchboy story… this is your early signal. 👀

🚀 What’s Next

The Merchboy K-9 is just the first NPC to step out of our concept art and into the world. More characters, more roles, and more brand-built details are on the way:

  • Additional dog types with unique Merchboy / BroDad / BroDog looks.
  • NPCs that help guide you to events, drops, and secret spots.
  • Interactive missions and mini-games where our K-9 might just be your sidekick.

We’re building this universe piece by piece – and our four-legged friend here is one of the first “living” proof-of-concept characters.
