{{Quote|Do you accept?|'''Trade Offer''' [[Achievement]] description}}
'''Louie''' is a friendly [[List of Entities|entity]] that can only be encountered in [[The Mines]]. It was introduced in the [[Update Logs|Content Update]].

== {{Icons|Overview}} Appearance ==
''Louie'' appears to be a rat-like creature with the nose of a star-nosed mole.

== {{Icons|Behavior}} Behavior ==
''Louie'' always resides in small tunnel-like holes found within [[The Mines]]. [[Players]] can drop any [[item]] near it except for [[Batteries]], [[Bandages]], [[Moonlight Float|Moonlight Floats]], [[Candy]] or [[2023 April Fools Event#Items|Holy Hand Grenades]]. Shortly after, it will come out of said hole, look at the player, grab the item and retreat. In return, he can give the player a random item that is from the same value or higher than the item the players gave.

''Louie'' will not emerge from its hole again after dropping 2 or more items in total.

=== List of Items ===
''Louie'' can give the following items to the player:

''Louie's'' trade mechanic is a pool-based system. The entity can only provide players with items randomly selected out of three distinct pools, and the pool which items are chosen from is decided by whatever item the player gives to the entity. Trading low value items, such as [[Glowstick|Glowsticks]] and [[Lighter|Lighters]] will result in ''Louie'' giving the player an item from the lowest valued pool, which consists solely of just [[Cheese]] and [[Bread]]. Conversely, trading high value items, such as a [[Shakelight]], will result in ''Louie'' giving the player an item from the highest valued pool, which consists of numerous items such as a [[Skeleton Key]] and a [[Spotlight]].

* Sometimes, the trades can be skewed in favor of players or against them, such as how trading a [[Smoothie]], a relatively common item, to ''Louie'' will result in the player receiving an item from the highest-valued loot pool. Likely because [[Smoothie|Smoothies]] are only able to be obtained from Floor 1 and a player would need to walk through it first before reaching [[The Mines]].
* Each instance of ''Louie'' can only be traded with until it drops in total at least 2 items, after this amount is reached, the entity will stop coming out of its tunnel to inspect dropped items, so decide which items you want to trade wisely before proceeding with the transaction.
* Attempting to trade a [[Crucifix]] with ''Louie'' will result in the entity randomly dropping 4 items from '''any''' of its loot pools. Doing this will also crucify the entity, rendering that particular instance of ''Louie'' untradeable. However, if players find another one of ''Louie''<nowiki/>'s tunnels in another section of The Mines, they will be able to trade with them there instead. 
* Trading certain high value items ''Louie'' will result in him giving you numerous in return to balance out the deal, which contrasts to how they typically only give one item after receiving one item. Here are the items which function like this:
** Trading a [[Moonlight Candle]] will result in ''Louie'' giving you '''2 items'''.
** Trading a [[Starlight Bottle]] will result in ''Louie'' giving you '''2 items'''.
** Trading a [[Starlight Jug]] will result in ''Louie'' giving you '''4 items'''.
** Trading a [[Crucifix]] will result in ''Louie'' giving you '''4 items'''.
* ''Louie'' can't give you the same item you dropped. For example, when giving [[Shears]] to Louie, it will be able to drop a Skeleton Key, a Spotlight or a [[Gween Soda]] but not Shears.
* However, this can rarely happen, if dropped said item in said loot pool not near ''Louie''’s hole, then dropping different said item in said loot pool in ''Louie''’s hole, Louie could give you the same item that you dropped.{{Citation needed}}

== {{Icons|Trivia}} Trivia ==
* ''Louie''<nowiki/>'s name and appearance originates from the Roblox hat [https://roblox.fandom.com/wiki/Catalog:Louie Louie], which is also a rat, as confirmed by the co-owner [[RediblesQW|Redibles]].<ref name="cheddarballs">[https://youtu.be/rRf4GtYRWq0?t=242s]</ref>
** ''Louie''<nowiki/>'s big eyes are based off of a specific ''"funny image''", as described by Redibles. The funny image in question is a meme that displays a sad hamster staring up at the camera.<ref name="cheddarballs" />
* ''Louie'' appears to have a higher chance of spawning in [[The Nest]] (Door 150).<sup>[citation needed]</sup>
* Despite it being a common belief, ''Louie'' is not based on the '[https://urbanshade.org/wiki/Deep_Sea_Bunnies Deep Sea Bunny]' entity from Pressure, as the entity's concept was actually made a whole month prior before the Deep Sea Bunnies were even made public. Therefore, the similarities between Louie and the Deep Sea Bunnies is just a coincidence.<ref>[http://youtube.com/post/Ugkx1WrD4_f5Vl0jGZisY5zI4YwKqblU8nFB A screenshot of Louie's concept.]</ref>
* ''Louie'' can drop more than one item at the same time, and will not emerge from its hole again after dropping 2 or more items in total.
* ''Louie'' will not accept [[Batteries]], [[Bandages]], [[Moonlight Float|Moonlight Floats]], [[Candy]], [[2023 April Fools Event#Items|Holy Hand Grenades]] or any item received from a prior trade with the same instance of ''Louie. Louie'' will not react to activated [[Glowstick|Glowsticks]]''.''
* The ''Scammed'' achievement’s description is a reference to the "Scammer gets Scammed Buddy" meme.
* The [[Crucifix]] normally activates when the player is about to take damage or die, avoiding their demise from happening, except in ''Louie'''s crucifixion, as ''Louie'' can't damage players, being a very unique case. 
** ''Louie'' and [[Dupe]] are the only entities that cannot be seen while being crucified.
* ''Louie''<nowiki/>'s tunnels can be inside a variety of places, including but not limited to side-rooms, [[The Nest]], [[The Dam]], and even as early as Door 101.
* [[Seeds]] affect the door(s) ''Louie'' spawns at. For example, using the seed 2782578 will make Louie always at Door 101.
* There are a few cases in which ''Louie'' will always give in return the same items:
** Trading a [[Starlight Jug]] will always result in ''Louie'' giving in return a [[Skeleton Key]], [[Shears]], a [[Spotlight]] and a [[Gween Soda]].
** Trading [[Cheese]] will always result in ''Louie'' giving back [[Bread]] and vice versa.
* ''Louie'' has 3 UGC items: "[https://www.roblox.com/catalog/78982251129107/DOORS-Louie Louie]", "[https://www.roblox.com/catalog/127312864891006/DOORS-Louies-Head Louie's Head]" and "[https://www.roblox.com/catalog/122065996117904/DOORS-Louies-Tail Louie's Tail]".
* ''Louie'' can't spawn in [[The Adit]].
