Hermit
The Hermit is an old bluish cheetah the lives at the top of a waterfall on the other side of the Valley of Avalar.
Description
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.
Story
The Hermit is run into by Spyro, Cynder and Sparx during the events of The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, who have come to his cave to get a key to accomplish a rescue mission for Chief Prowlus. After defeating a small horde of ghoul like creatures, the Hermit emerges and 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 that the Apes only served Malefor for their own greed and thirst for power than any true loyalty to him. Malefor then repaid them by turning them into skeletons, dooming them to remain in the darkness and never being complete. The old Hermit then departs cackling insanely after warning Cynder of a fate she may very well suffer for being in service to Malefor, and that the Dark Master will find her.
Fortunately, Spyro and Cynder's mission didn't go in vain, as Sparx manages to swipe the key from the Hermit without him knowing, allowing the three to continue on their mission to help Meadow get back to the Cheetah Village.the hermit can also be seen sitting next to an armor chest in a secret place after talking with him.
Trivia
- The Hermit also seems to know a lot about Malefor, though it is possible that considering that as he 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) or maybe the Hermit could have served Malefor before as he only calls Malefor one time and the Dark Master twice, and of course not counting he didn't offer them the key to the supply cave needed to resuce Meadow.
- The Hermit is surprisingly voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, the same voice actor who voiced Terrador, Gaul, the Conductor, Sniff, and Chief Prowlus in The Legend of Spyro series.
- If Dawn of the Dragon was translated in Japan, then the Hermit would be known as ハーミット Hāmitto in Japanese.
