The Beggar is a randomly occurring NPC in the game. He appears as a Slot Machine icon on the mini-map.

Bumping into The Beggar gives him a penny, and he has a chance of dropping a random Pickup, a Trinket, an Item, or nothing at all. This can be repeated until he drops an item, after which he will vanish. The Beggar will remain in the room until he drops an item or is blown up by a bomb.

If blown up, he will drop a couple of random consumable items. He always gives a pickup or an item if he doesn't drop anything after giving him 4 cents.

• The Beggar's final reward can be a HP Up or any item you could get from a Shop or even a Treasure Room.

• Items from The Beggar are in effect usually cheaper than the items from the Shop.
• It also seems that giving a beggar your last cent (ie. dropping you to 0 cents) has a higher chance of an Item dropping.
• Blowing up a Beggar increases the chances of finding the Devil Room.
• Giving the Beggar coins increases the chance of finding the Angel Room.

The XX Judgement Tarot Card can be used to spawn a Beggar in any room. This causes the beggar to drop items from that room's Item Pool, allowing a player to get free Devil Room items or multiple Cubes Of Meat, for example.

Devil BeggarEdit

Devil Beggars are a new type of Beggar added with the Wrath of the Lamb DLC. They can be found anywhere a normal beggar can be found. They can also be spawned with the XX Judgement Tarot Card.

Beggars will exchange red hearts (Similar to a Blood Donation Machine, taking a 1/2 heart in levels up to the The Womb and a full heart in The Womb and onwards) per use for Trinkets or Items.

Unlike normal beggars, devil beggars also have a chance of spawning a Devil Room item. If blown up, they drop two Spiders.

Devil Beggars will take Eternal Hearts first, then Normal Hearts. Like Blood Donation Machines, Devil Beggars take normal hearts over soul hearts first. If you have half a heart left, but still have some Soul Hearts, it will take those instead.

Heart donation counts as damage, so they should be avoided when attempting to achieve a "No Damage" achievement unless encountered with the use of invincibility-granting items such as the Book of Shadows or My Little Unicorn.

Using Devil Beggars with an invincibility-granting item will not take hearts, but can still spawn items and the like.

For the purpose of opening a Devil Room/Angel Room, Devil Beggars count as normal beggars.

Unlike normal Beggars, Devil Beggars aren't guaranteed to give out a drop when played 4 times.

Devil Beggars will occasionally fluctuate on health-taking, taking one heart, no hearts, etc. with no seeming pattern.

Devil Beggars actually count as Blood Donation Machines, so you can unlock Mom's Bottle of Pills by giving hearts to them. They also make the same Blood Donation Machine heart-taking sound when impacted by the player.

Possible Item DropsEdit

Normal beggars usually drop HP up items (like Breakfast and Rotten Meat) or shop items (like the Ladder and the Book of Revelations). Devil beggars usually drop devil and angel room items, but can potentially drop other items
