If an area author created a mob that looks like a shoppie, but then didn't designate them a shoppie, I'm not going to second-guess their decision and change the mob to a shoppie. Especially not in Hamsah, because Scar had some pretty specific ideas for how he wanted that area to come together, and I doubt something like that would have been an oversight that I would feel comfortable correcting.

However, if you're talking about Pagiel, he'll get a boost to his cash so he can buy items that cost more than 50 cp.
