**Description:** The Oxyfiend Broker is a cunning fiend that thrives in the shadows of commerce and deceit. Clad in a tattered cloak that shifts colors like smoke, it offers corrupted deals to desperate adventurers, tempting them with power at a cost. Originating from a realm where souls are traded like currency, it employs manipulation and charm to ensnare its foes. In combat, it uses its abilities to sow confusion and despair, preferring to weaken its opponents before striking with ruthless precision. The Oxyfiend Broker embodies the seductive nature of corruption and the peril that lies in making deals with dark forces.
