Derek

Derek is a major character and the tritagonist in the first chapter of Planet Life. He is a Derekulian, a race of minotaur-like creatures that live on Derekulus X and value strength. Derek's primary use is to enter and complete the Dungeons throughout the game.

History
Derek is found in a freezer located by purchasing the first Starmap. While he is annoyed at the sudden appearance, he agrees to join The Planet's quest.

Derek spends the rest of the chapter as The Planet's go-to for exploring the Dungeons.

In the Burgulon chapter, it is revealed that Jack had hypnotized Derek with a pair of glasses, using him as a last defense before taking on Burgulon himself. As an enemy, Derek is the strongest of any mandatory enemy, at 2,500 health, even surpassing that of the initial appearance of DEREK OF DOOM.

After being defeated, Derek's glasses are knocked off and he comes to his senses. Burgulon reluctantly places him in the Jerk Club. There, he informs Burgulon of a secret formula created by The Planet for Coco-infused Stardust.

Personality
Derek's dialogue shows that he is confident in his strength and gets aggressive quickly. He also gets somewhat emotional while talking about his home planet, where it is custom for young Derekulians to be sent away to conquer incredibly fierce dungeons.

If Derek succumbs to a dungeon, you can revive him for a small amount of stardust. With him being central to the game, you are required to make this payment, despite what the game may tell you.

Derek can also wear equipment of your choosing to gain benefits, including extra health, armor, and more loot from certain doors.
