The Bank Teller
A uniformed bureaucrat turned deadly guardian of the dungeon's vaults—though only in fan imagination, as this enemy is not part of the game's canon.
The Bank Teller is a fictional enemy archetype often described in fan works as appearing within the vaulted halls of the Gungeon's financial districts and a specific 'Bank' biome. Clad in a distinctive uniform featuring a tie and a name tag, this NPC-turned-enemy represents the mundane bureaucracy turned deadly by the dungeon's chaotic nature. Unlike standard grunts who simply shoot on sight, the Bank Teller often hides behind cover or stands guard over treasure chests, acting as a gatekeeper to valuable loot. However, it is important to note that this enemy does not actually exist in the game's canon.

Lore & Background
These enemies are often described in fan entries as appearing in groups within the Bank level, a biome characterized by heavy vault doors, gold coins, and teller counters. Their presence suggests that the Gungeon has absorbed not just warriors, but the infrastructure of society itself. Whether they are mindless drones or trapped souls compelled to defend their 'assets' is unknown, but their aggression towards any Gunner attempting to rob them is absolute. However, this entire concept is purely speculative, as the Bank Teller does not appear in the official game.
In Their Own Story
The fluorescent lights flickered above the teller counter, casting long shadows over the rows of empty desks. The Teller adjusted his tie, his eyes darting nervously behind the bulletproof glass before locking onto the intruder stepping through the vault door. He didn't scream; he simply reached under the counter, his movements practiced and efficient. 'I'm afraid I can't release those funds without a signature,' he muttered, raising a pistol with trembling hands as the first shot echoed off the gold-plated walls.
Reader's Guide
The Bank Teller is a standard enemy found exclusively in the Bank biome of the Gungeon. They typically spawn near teller counters or guarding chests, forcing players to clear them before accessing loot. In combat, they utilize basic firearms like pistols or SMGs. Their most notable behavior is their tendency to take cover behind desks and counters, peeking out only to fire a few shots before retreating. This makes them slightly more dangerous than open-field enemies as they force the player to maneuver around obstacles. They do not have unique dialogue lines distinct from generic enemy chatter but are often heard making noises related to their role when hit or killed. Defeating them yields standard currency and occasionally drops ammo, fitting the theme of a bank heist gone wrong.
