The Iron Hills Merchant is a type of Dwarf from the Iron Hills. They are travelling traders just like the Galadhrim wanderer, and will trade with any player who does not have a negative Durin's folk alignment.

When attacked, the merchant will defend himself with a Dwarven dagger. When killed, the merchant may drop Dwarf bones, food, plates, or mugs.

Upon trading with a Iron Hills merchant, the player gains the achievement "Dwarven Treasures".

Behaviour

Iron Hills merchants are similar to the other travelling traders in that they will spawn in various biomes across Middle-Earth, with the exception of their homeland (in this case the Iron Hills), evil-infested biomes (i.e. Mordor), and desolated biomes (i.e. Dagorlad). They will only stay for one Minecraft day, however, so players should make finding them a top priority when they arrive, especially since encountering one of these merchants is even rarer than encountering the Galadhrim wanderer.

Like the other two good-aligned travelling traders, the Iron Hills merchant spawns with a group of normal dwarves around them.

Messages will appear in the chat to signal the merchant's arrival; the merchant's departure; a warning message one minute prior to when the merchant leaves, and a death message signifying that the merchant was killed and by whom.

Examples:

Róin son of Náli, the Iron Hills Merchant has arrived nearby

Róin son of Náli, the Iron Hills Merchant has left the area

<Róin son of Náli, the Iron Hills Merchant> I shall be leaving soon, but there is till time for a trade or two!

Róin son of Náli, the Iron Hills Merchant was pummelled by Bolg, the Gundabad Orc Archer

Trading

These merchants offer all sorts of food (including the uncraftable Cram), Glowstone, Dwarven ale, Dwarven armour (including trimmed variants) equipment, and even the rare Dwarfwort plant. They will buy food, ingots, and coal from the player. Below is an example of a merchant's trading panel:
