Hermit

Hermit (ヘルミツ Herumitsu in Japanese) is an old bluish cheetah the lives at the top of a waterfall in the Valley of Avalar. He is run into by Spyro, Cynder and Sparx during the events of Dawn of the Dragon. Spyro, Cynder and Sparx travel to his cave in order to grab a key of his to accomplish a rescue mission for Chief Prowlus. After defeating a small horde of ghoul like creatures, the Hermit recognizes Cynder by her eyes, telling her that the creatures that she helped to kill were actually what remained of the Apes of Malefor's army. The Hermit tells them of how in their service to Malefor, the Apes' lust for power earned them there fate. The old Hermit then departs cackling insanely after warning Cynder of a fate she may very well suffer for service to Malefor.

The Hermit is a tall, ancient, bluish colored cheetah with a long staff that seems to have what appears to be a magical crystal mounted on top. He appears to be very wise, yet disturbingly deranged simultaneously. His disturbing warnings are only emphasized by his raspy cackling voice. He also seems to know a lot about Malefor, though it is possible that considering that as the Hermit is extremely old he may have known Malefor when the Dark Master was young (after all Malefor is roughly 132 years old by the time of Dawn of the Dragon).
