I'm very sorry, but I am unable to like as the the number of likes has reached 'funny number'. Henceforth I will be waiting if any 1 person decides to break the funny number, then I will like. Perchance.
Common Characteristics of a member of the hermit species: - short stature - sticky fingers - natural aptitude for flight with their various wing types - antennae for communicating with other hermits - a fascination with diamonds - other abilities related to their type (such as undead, slime or pesky bird) These are just some fun ideas I have! I have really enjoyed seeing the story lead up to this and am excited to see where it goes!
I think hermits lore-wise are somewhat like the dwarves in LOTR. They are definitely smaller, and tend to walk around with backpacks full of blocks, food, and riches. They love to hoard wealth over time, and take great pride in having a lot stored up, even if they ultimately never use their wealth for anything productive. They are generally solitary creatures, preferring to build up massive structures around themselves rather than live in a communal space. These structures are very much a reflection and extension of their own personality, and one can easily identify what hermit built what structure with a simple glance. However, their solitary nature is often assumed to mean that they are unwilling to collaborate or spend time with others - as such, when they group up towards a common goal, they can achieve great things.
My species ideas. Hermits are driven by Diamonds, they are like a comfort to them, a feeling of safety. And although different seasons are separate from each other hermits remember snippets from previous series. Hermits are also incredibly long lived, some of their number being hundreds of years old. I also like the idea of hermits being like a big family structure with a lot of close sibling dynamics, especially when compared to the squabbling of the empires. Hermits are petty but they care enough to never leave someone in the dust.
The difference between the Hermits and Empires is like the difference between the high school Robotics Club and the high school Drama Club. Everyone is now stuck in the auditorium together, and the robotics kids’ tools have gone from motherboards to paint brushes. 😂 Now they just have to wait for Principal Mumbo to come and unlock the doors so they can go home.
Ima - imagine Mumbo making an episode on hermitcraft right now. What if he was just minecrafting around and then the episode slowly devolves more and more into "where... where are all the people????" He could find the diamonds that went missing and just be like "hmm. I mean. It's not like anyone is using them!"
I can see a scenario play out where Mumbo tries to unravel the mystery of where everyone went. Eventually he stumbles upon this portal, reactivates it, and brings everyone home.
I think for the hermits as a race, fae would fit so well. Fae are known to be almost otherworldy creatures from another plain that humans and others can't possibly understand. They follow different kinds of rules of their own, known to find loopholes and be tricky with their words. Are big tricksters and love receiving gifts, usually foods or shiny teasure-like objects. They are also often thought of to have wings, and we know hermits have a strong affinity to their elytra. The elytra could be styled after bug types of wings to associate all the hermits into the "species".
@@eoghansailer5048 The dwarves could basically make ultra powerful and rare artefacts for the gods. Stuff like a magic/duplicating gold ring, a literal battle ship that could be folded and placed in your pocket, and Thor’s hammer So In that sense, the hermits are really good builders who just make the most over the top, unexpected stuff you could think of on the server
I actually have a theory for the lore because of this: what if Mumbo because he's alone and can't find anybody, decides to inspect the rift and finds out that everyone got inside of the rift, and he realizes that they can't get home. So he finds a way to open up the portal again but doesn't exactly go to the same server? and he goes in multiple time until he finds them but when they go back in together, the portal doesn't lead back to the Hermit craft season 9 server? and then that's gonna be the start of season 10?
@@Wazabi290 NOW THAT IS BIG BRAIN........wait if there gonna be in season 10 and they have a universe traveller thingy wouldnt they just do it over and over again until they'll be back in season 9 again?!?
Lore-wise I kinda picture the hermits as little people with enormous backpacks almost twice their size. They're known to be Travellers who explore every world they find and leave enormous monuments as their mark on the world. They earned the nickname "hermits" because of their oversized backpacks and whenever they start building they sort of just dump the contents on the ground and it comes out as a mega build. In short- They're short people who blow away people's expectations by doing big, enormous, incredible things.
The theories behind them throwing everything on the ground and creating monuments is from the large amount of supplies scattered around these monument, which are thought to have been extra resources scavenged by creatures known as "chest monsters" although little is know about them.

I think mumbo should try to get to empires and end up in the version of HC where mumbo won the election and realizes how bad Grumbot is which leads to the next arc of season 9 after the crossover
I can just imagine mumbo going insane alone in the server and when they finally come back there would be a bunch of fake people (scarecrows, armor stands, statues etc.)
I cant wait for mumbo to get on the Hermitcraft server, be alone, and be like "Did I miss something?" Then he probably going to end up finding the grumbot ask it some quetions, find out where everyone went, end up saving them by finding a way to open the rift (using redstone of course) for them to get home. Something like that. At least, thats how i imagine it.
"Hermits are a specie of Player that specialize in testing the world around them to its very limit. The most notable characteristics of a Hermit are their shared penchant for mischief, their ability to grind for days on end without rest, and their love for the sky. Hermits are endlessly creative, and it is very rare to see a Hermit not working on a project (or several), no matter its size or importance."
02:25 Scar following Grian into death is the funniest thing I've seen all day, and that perfectly cut wheeze at the end easily brings it to my top 5 favourite Desert Duo moments ever
I think it would be cool if the Hermits became something like merchants. They could incorporate some of the shops from hermitcraft into their builds and have almost a trading village. This would also allow each hermit room for their own build style and lore if they wanted. This could also be thurthered by having a big guild house instead of a castle.
I think that hermits should always be obsessed with diamonds. Making pillars out of them, trading them and most importantly, wearing them. Hermits LOVE wearing diamonds, and this above everything else helps you to tell them apart.
yes, hermits are the evolved species of villagers, building magnificent structures, all in the name of making more diamonds, and grown to be disgusted by emeralds
Building on that, it would be king of cool for the Hermits to make a bank or a greedy organisation that will do anything for diamonds. Quests, trade, contracts or even assassinations and war!
I imagine that the hermits have been "touched by the rift" in some way. They could then add a bit of purple in their design so they are visually different. Other than that I love the idea that they are just chaotic nomads :D
why this idea is good: 1. it plays on the LORE(tm) 2. it won't demand much work on your skins 3. it's definetly something that will unite hermits and last but not least IT'S GONNA LOOK SUPER COOL
Hermits strike me as a changeling-type species. Clever, quick-witted, and industrialist, but prone to wandering off on individual adventures, following thoughts on a whim, with slightly inhuman glints to their eyes and a penchant for chaos, and possible minor shapeshifting or 'glamor' abilities. Plus, changelings (at least Pathfinder changelings) are all incredibly variable due to the different types of 'hag' they can be descended from, and the multitude of heritages their other parent can be from; this accounts for the Hermits all being very different, despite sharing traits like love of chaos and dramatic flair.
I feel like some sort of cross between Dwarves and Fae would fit very well, as Hermits are known for their love of flight, mischief, resource gathering, and massive projects!
I feel that Hermits have the ability to shape shift, changing their form when ever they like and have a love for diamonds. They are very mischievous, loving to pull pranks and create fun games for everyone.
I think mumbo will comeback to the hermitcraft server, realizing he is alone, finds the rift, realizing the others are trapped in the empires server, and will be the perfect lore to have a person who has been gone in the hermitcraft server be the one who brings the members back.
My theory is that Mumbo will return to hermicraft. he will get started up again, familiar with all that has changed and realise that no one is joining the server. He will eventually encounter grumbot who will tell him what happened, and that he need to open the rift. Mumbo will somehow open the rift on Hermitcraft's side, and send a red stone flying machine, along with a note on how to use it, to activate the portal from their side
Oh this is such a cute way to give mumbo time to catch up with the rest of the server while not stopping content for the viewers! The hermits are so sweet to each other I can't 😭
Lore wise, I think the hermit species should be shapeshifters, in the way that they can shift to fit the story they’re telling. They have base forms, like Doc is a creeper, and Cleo a zombie, but with story shifting, they can become Medusas, or elves, or turtles or butterflies!
Hermits are like ants -Small, apparently -Work in large groups and biuld larger and more more connected structures and infastructure -This comparrison doesn't hold up very well but it's fun so I'm sticking to it -Constantly going to war for some reason
I think Scar, in general, is peak Hermit. Always starting off with something different every season but eventually doing whatever makes money, insane timelapses, and overall goodtimes. Also I like how Grumbot orchestrated this crossover so when Mumbo finally gets back he is the only one on the server and, therefore, de facto Mayor.
It's actually quite cool that pixlriffs was able to just start a recap channel about something he enjoyed, and now he's literally meeting the people he's been a huge fan of for a long time. Quite amazing, what a crossover!
The Hermit species is very sociable and dedicated. They can spend days of pure suffering just for a prank (applies especially to the ones with waffels on their head).
For hermits as a species, I think they should have nautilus shell hats with a portal purple tint, like hermit crab shells. Hermits love to fly so I can see them having insectoid wings with the coverings styled after the hermit hats.
I love how Pix said on stream that he only recaps what's in the episodes, and Grian IMMEDIATELY releases an episode with their whole interaction in it. He could not WAIT to make that joke
I'm just imagining Mumbo logs into the hermitcraft server and is just questioning where everyone is at. Also, he is officially the richest hermit in Hermitcraft because everyone else is in Empires.
I think it's all been planned. Mumbo will be back and have to rescue the hermits, and him and grumbot will be mayor afterwards as I believe grumbot stole all the diamonds
Hermits are a sub-race within many known documented species. A few examples of these rare species are hermit dwarfs, hermit undead, and hermit slimes. This rare sub-species is known to be smaller from the rest of their kind, but in turn are great innovators in whatever field the desire, mostly documented to be master architects. Hermits are also theorized to come from another realm with its main habitants being hermits. Folklore states the realm the hermits come from it known as Hermitcraft.
Other sub-species include: hermit axlotl (hermitus-xolotlus) hermit creeper-goat-crazyscientist-robot (hermitus-GOATus) and, last but not least, hermit mustache-man (hermitus-mumbolius-jumbolius)
Hermits remind me of a mix of hobbits and moths. Whenever I see hermits flying around on their elytras, they remind me of moths around lamps. Especially when minigames and diamonds are involved. So I would base your hermit species off of that!! Sky: Children of the Light and of course the hobbit could be inspiration for your skins and designs!! Maybe instead of light, diamonds attract them; going off of the moth idea Another idea I saw that I loved would be basing them off of hermitcrabs Maybe you could have different types, one being more associated with light like moths, one more associated with trees and the ground like hobbits and gnomes, and one more associated with the coast like hermitcrabs These have been mentioned before, but I'd love to see where you all run with this!!
Pixies! They’re smaller! And mischievous! And they come summoned into the human world through mushroom circles (reminiscent of hermits coming thru a portal into another server, no?) they are sometimes rumored infestactasous too I believe, fitting for hermits who have come into a new world and immediately cause trouble lol. Or otherwise you guys should just live up to the name and be hermit crabs! Each elytra would be a different shell too!
The hermits are able to hang out and make a city when they’re on hermitcraft. I bet the hermits will take advantage while they can and mostly do content with non-hermits. Tango already moved in with fwhip
I like the idea of the Hermits being just that…Hermits. Any of the hermits can choose a skin and backstory for their own character that best fits them but what connects them all is their choice of lifestyle and unusual origin…wanderers through a strange rift, unaligned to an empire or land on this server. I could see some fun gags happening from just some differences in customs between the Traveling Hermits and the people of Empires. Some common traits between hermits: They often go off on their own and establish grand homes for themselves away from the many empires. They’re more for doing their own thing than following the edicts of any one kingdom. The only common space that unites them is the Shopping District. See, many Hermits are often struck with an entrepreneurial spirit and will seek wealth in diamonds by producing goods and services needed by the other wandering Hermits. Many will amass great riches through invention and tinkering with redstone, while others would delight in the architectural arts.
Hermits aren’t necessarily short, however they tend to be viewed to at least hold a skillful wisdom that no one would know otherwise. Hermits are also seen as crazy in most circumstances. Hermits are also sometimes considered the first step to sage hood in fantasy and mythos.
I like to think hermits are a ridiculously variable species, even to the point one can change on their own (like how Scar (presumably) went from an elf to a human over the course of Season 9)
i want lore explanations on eveyone who can remember each other, Scott Sausage and Pearl cant but Joel Jimmy and Grian do, Pixl is on another level as he builds this world
If you need defining physical traits for the hermits, I suggest looking to the fanartists! A lot of artists are already drawing you all with various mob traits (yourself with parrot wings, scar and cub as vexes, etc). I know that doesn't really give you all the SAME traits, but personally I think the uniqueness among the designs is part of what makes Hermitcraft so fun. Plus, with all the unique textures Empires uses, you have the opportunity to make your favorite fan interpretations real!
Hermits are intuitive creatures. Their small size makes them perfect for cramming many useful farms into tight spaces. Given enough room, they can grow these farms to produce an abundance of materials. Hermits then take these materials and trade them for gems. A few hermits have attempted to pass off gems of lesser value, but this species really only seems interested in diamonds, using them as a currency, either individually easier to acquire, or smaller quantities of items, or even as whole blocks for bulk purchases or hard to obtain items. Organized, they gather all their surplus goods in a single shopping district away from their homes, so that all hermits can find what they need quickly and efficiently. They are also a very sociable society, often times building near each other and/or connecting their homes through tunnels and roadways. This does not mean they are not without mischief, however, so tread carefully, least you encounter a Hermit a bit to excitable with loud noise-makers of any variety, or even a bit of TNT.
My take on the Hermit species: - They are a nomadic people, never staying in the same place for long - Once they are satisfied with there Settlements they seek new lands to start anew leaving their lands fo those that find them afterwards - They are very industrious, always trying to build more and faster than before. Their motivation is to surpass their previous heigth (- probably compensating for their slightly less than average height)
Hermits are a species of player that are shorter than the average player (and Bdubs is shorter than that) that love to travel via flight with the help of elytras. Each hermit has their own little talents but the two most common talents a hermit can have are building and redstone. Hermits love to be with one another and can be found in groups of 2 or more. Hermits are very creative beings and often take on hefty projects like mega bases as soon as they can. In some cases, you can find a hermit taking on more than one project at a time so it is uncommon to see a hermit not working on some form of a project. Hermits are also well known for their mischief. They are capable of pulling pranks big and small whether it’d be rearranging items in chests to building massive eye catching builds on other player’s bases. Hermits are also known for leaving chest monsters around the world so if you ever find a chest monster in the wild, know that it is a sign a hermit is either nearby or was nearby and has now left.
I like to think that hermits as a species look strange in an uncanny valley way. maybe hermits blink slower. maybe they can bend their joints a little too far out for comfort. theres a tiny bit of lag when they speak and when their mouth moves. they sit idle in poses that look uncomfortable.
The Hermits feel like they'd definitely be a shorter species, obviously, and I feel like they could have some in game mob Lore, like bdubs is a Glare, Cleo is a Zombie, Cub and Scar are Vex, youre a Parrot, etc. And they kinda have their own mini society, where wars are games and diamonds are the currency. I kinda imagine them like Hobbits or elves, just there for a good time and to cause some chaos, just for the goofs and gaffs
I think that hermits are hard working people that can do a lot of things in a tiny amount of time. They are also good at prancing others and make others laugh

I can just imagine mumbo going insane alone in the server and when they finally come back there would be a bunch of fake people (scarecrows, armor stands, statues etc.)
Made me laugh 😂😂
Grian's first instict when he arrives at a foreign land is to immediately prank it's inhabitants. Love that for him
How else are you to act
If he didn’t do that as one of the first things this is either lore that effects Grian’s mentality or something is just generally seriously wrong.
I cant wait for mumbo to get on the Hermitcraft server, be alone, and be like "Did I miss something?" Then he probably going to end up finding the grumbot ask it some quetions, find out where everyone went, end up saving them by finding a way to open the rift (using redstone of course) for them to get home. Something like that. At least, thats how i imagine it.
Wait that could actually happen maybe
Oh, and also he'd have the chance to become the de-facto mayor of the otherwise empty hermitcraft server, just as Grumbot planned.
He'd be the richest hermit on the server for sure
@@neopalm2050 THE PLOT THICKENS!!!!
I love this idea
"Hermits are a specie of Player that specialize in testing the world around them to its very limit. The most notable characteristics of a Hermit are their shared penchant for mischief, their ability to grind for days on end without rest, and their love for the sky. Hermits are endlessly creative, and it is very rare to see a Hermit not working on a project (or several), no matter its size or importance."
Cool idea!
This one
I think this fits SciCraft more
@@gergthegoblin Nah, for SciCraft you replace days by weeks and several by dozens.
This, I love this
Hermits = gremlins that commit war crimes every few episodes
I love how Grian's presence just absolutely scares Timmy.
I know right? He had an actual heart attack as Grian just stood there.
I mean, he is Grain.
"You're not even safe in your OWN SMP."
It’s absolutely hilarious
It’s VERY true also I got a bit of a fright bc I was playing minecraft XD
you can just hear Grian smiling when he said "Hello Tim"
And a truly diabolical smile it sounds like. The kind of evil smile that strikes terror into the hearts of all who behold it.
The hermits all working on one project is genuinely terrifying bc like what chaos will you start and the productivity of your farms, Im so excited
the irony of 15 +/- people collectively building the hermit empire...
There’s also Doc there
02:25 Scar following Grian into death is the funniest thing I've seen all day, and that perfectly cut wheeze at the end easily brings it to my top 5 favourite Desert Duo moments ever
for real
I think it would be cool if the Hermits became something like merchants. They could incorporate some of the shops from hermitcraft into their builds and have almost a trading village. This would also allow each hermit room for their own build style and lore if they wanted. This could also be thurthered by having a big guild house instead of a castle.
HTG hermit trade guild.
yes
@@runedoom lets spam this so that grian sees it and might connsidder doing it
Amazing idea
I think that hermits should always be obsessed with diamonds. Making pillars out of them, trading them and most importantly, wearing them. Hermits LOVE wearing diamonds, and this above everything else helps you to tell them apart.
yes, hermits are the evolved species of villagers, building magnificent structures, all in the name of making more diamonds, and grown to be disgusted by emeralds
I love this idea!
INVEST
YES
Building on that, it would be king of cool for the Hermits to make a bank or a greedy organisation that will do anything for diamonds. Quests, trade, contracts or even assassinations and war!
I've always wondered what would happen if Pixelriffs actually interacted with the hermits on camera. That alone makes this cross over worth it for me.
Empires Recap then
@@ramsescampollo2506 Hempires lol
i really like the idea of all the hermits actually working together on something , like a whole faction or guild in this fantasy server
every one of these hermits create huge and wonderful things all on their own, imagine what they can do when theyre all working together
I imagine that the hermits have been "touched by the rift" in some way. They could then add a bit of purple in their design so they are visually different. Other than that I love the idea that they are just chaotic nomads :D
THIS
why this idea is good:
1. it plays on the LORE(tm)
2. it won't demand much work on your skins
3. it's definetly something that will unite hermits
and last but not least
IT'S GONNA LOOK SUPER COOL
THIS.
Maybe almost changed or infected by the rift
you could make their skin a little corrupted too
Scar dying right after Grain is the epitome of bromance.
Who is this Grain character you speak of?
Grain? If you were talking about Grian, I'd call it a desert duo moment, but-
Who is Grain?
Do you think I’m bread?!
If only Scar went first so that we'd get another "SCAR NOOOO" moment
Hermits strike me as a changeling-type species. Clever, quick-witted, and industrialist, but prone to wandering off on individual adventures, following thoughts on a whim, with slightly inhuman glints to their eyes and a penchant for chaos, and possible minor shapeshifting or 'glamor' abilities. Plus, changelings (at least Pathfinder changelings) are all incredibly variable due to the different types of 'hag' they can be descended from, and the multitude of heritages their other parent can be from; this accounts for the Hermits all being very different, despite sharing traits like love of chaos and dramatic flair.
Aight time to make some D&D homebrew off of this. This is a great idea
This describes the hermits perfectly actually
this sounds so cool!!
yess make it happen it sounds perfect
I feel like some sort of cross between Dwarves and Fae would fit very well, as Hermits are known for their love of flight, mischief, resource gathering, and massive projects!
i can imagine mumbo just joining the hermitcraft server and being like "where is everyone? Well, ima go take over the world with vaults!"
SCAMMER ALERT! DO NOT TRUST THEM! if you were a winner, your comment would of been pinned.
Mumbo for Mayor of Vaults. I think Grian needs to make another GrumBot for Mumbo. Grumvaultbot.
@@FrothyTrout5436 I got the same thing in a comment I sent. Thanks for the warning
Definitely lol
Guys don’t worry I know how to spot a scam like grians channel name does not contain a phone number
I feel that Hermits have the ability to shape shift, changing their form when ever they like and have a love for diamonds. They are very mischievous, loving to pull pranks and create fun games for everyone.
oohhh i like this :D
I think that is a great idea. Especially since I think the hermits should be more than just some hobbits
Also the hermits are already constantly changing there skins and roles depending on the situation
Thanks for liking my idea!
So, a bit like the fae or tanuki
I think mumbo will comeback to the hermitcraft server, realizing he is alone, finds the rift, realizing the others are trapped in the empires server, and will be the perfect lore to have a person who has been gone in the hermitcraft server be the one who brings the members back.
Bro its all adding up
And also be the richest person on the server 😂
Welsknight is also another Hermit who hasn't been on the server for a while
omg this will be great
True
The way Pixlriffs goes "oh good" while the song takes a pause was perfect
My theory is that Mumbo will return to hermicraft. he will get started up again, familiar with all that has changed and realise that no one is joining the server. He will eventually encounter grumbot who will tell him what happened, and that he need to open the rift. Mumbo will somehow open the rift on Hermitcraft's side, and send a red stone flying machine, along with a note on how to use it, to activate the portal from their side
That is an amazing idea!!
GENIUS!
Oh this is such a cute way to give mumbo time to catch up with the rest of the server while not stopping content for the viewers! The hermits are so sweet to each other I can't 😭
screenshot this for when that actually happens... He might just decide not to open it. XD
perfection
I’m absolutely dying at Pixlriffs desperately running away from impulse blaring the recap music 🤣

@@ninjaxsubzero7438 It may be obvious for you and me, but for those people that are desperate and naive, it may be a bit harder to see.
Lore wise, I think the hermit species should be shapeshifters, in the way that they can shift to fit the story they’re telling. They have base forms, like Doc is a creeper, and Cleo a zombie, but with story shifting, they can become Medusas, or elves, or turtles or butterflies!
I love the idea that the empire smp is all medieval and then the hermits come and make a giant industrial district. Absolutely love it.
Hermits are like ants
-Small, apparently
-Work in large groups and biuld larger and more more connected structures and infastructure
-This comparrison doesn't hold up very well but it's fun so I'm sticking to it
-Constantly going to war for some reason
Imagine Mumbo joins back on the server with no one but Grumbot to keep him company
and he has to figure out how to get everyone back
OHH NOW THIS IS GOOD LORE
Ok thats a very sad thourt
There is a few people still in hermitcraft. Like Geminitay,Beef and Ren, +more.
A hobbit sound so cool bc you all are so brave that you went into the rift ❤
I think Scar, in general, is peak Hermit. Always starting off with something different every season but eventually doing whatever makes money, insane timelapses, and overall goodtimes.
Also I like how Grumbot orchestrated this crossover so when Mumbo finally gets back he is the only one on the server and, therefore, de facto Mayor.
Omgomgomgrumbotloreee
And richest and only left hermit! 😂
So true!
meanwhile gem who was half an hour late and threw a spanner in grumbots plans by still being on the server
It's actually quite cool that pixlriffs was able to just start a recap channel about something he enjoyed, and now he's literally meeting the people he's been a huge fan of for a long time. Quite amazing, what a crossover!
The Hermit species is very sociable and dedicated. They can spend days of pure suffering just for a prank (applies especially to the ones with waffels on their head).
For hermits as a species, I think they should have nautilus shell hats with a portal purple tint, like hermit crab shells. Hermits love to fly so I can see them having insectoid wings with the coverings styled after the hermit hats.
Love it. You thinking like shulker shell hats?
or maybe crab style wings that fit their color scheme if u know what i mean
I absolutely love this idea for the hermits
I love how Pix said on stream that he only recaps what's in the episodes, and Grian IMMEDIATELY releases an episode with their whole interaction in it. He could not WAIT to make that joke
The webcam honestly makes this so much funnier!
1:30
haha yeah
TIMMY?!?!?!
I'm just imagining Mumbo logs into the hermitcraft server and is just questioning where everyone is at. Also, he is officially the richest hermit in Hermitcraft because everyone else is in Empires.
Technically Gem(hermit) and Beef are there.
@@antonizzz5188 And Iskall too, isn't he?
And Etho
And Ren I think
No, he's the richest on Hermitcraft AND Empires!
I'm just imagining mumbo back on hermitcraft flying around trying to find anyone and being overly worried.
like that one apongwnob episode
I think it's all been planned. Mumbo will be back and have to rescue the hermits, and him and grumbot will be mayor afterwards as I believe grumbot stole all the diamonds
The richest player on hermitcraft.
@@gamerhurley I love apongwnob it’s my favorite show!

Hermits are a sub-race within many known documented species. A few examples of these rare species are hermit dwarfs, hermit undead, and hermit slimes. This rare sub-species is known to be smaller from the rest of their kind, but in turn are great innovators in whatever field the desire, mostly documented to be master architects. Hermits are also theorized to come from another realm with its main habitants being hermits. Folklore states the realm the hermits come from it known as Hermitcraft.
I love this bro. Its a nice idea. Keep up the good work my man
Yes
Other sub-species include:
hermit axlotl (hermitus-xolotlus)
hermit creeper-goat-crazyscientist-robot (hermitus-GOATus)
and, last but not least,
hermit mustache-man (hermitus-mumbolius-jumbolius)
the also like to infight there very compitive the only work together to go against others
Due to diamonds always being seen as currency, hermits could be kind of be obsessed with diamonds.
Ive seen this idea a couple times and I love it
Hey but what if Hermits ate diamonds
Crystalfolk or Earth Elementals?
Saying that, "Gnomes" are considered earth elementals in some lore and appear as short people, like Grian was saying.
it'd be pretty cool if they were very industrial. making factories and stuff.
Hermits remind me of a mix of hobbits and moths. Whenever I see hermits flying around on their elytras, they remind me of moths around lamps. Especially when minigames and diamonds are involved. So I would base your hermit species off of that!! Sky: Children of the Light and of course the hobbit could be inspiration for your skins and designs!!
Maybe instead of light, diamonds attract them; going off of the moth idea
Another idea I saw that I loved would be basing them off of hermitcrabs
Maybe you could have different types, one being more associated with light like moths, one more associated with trees and the ground like hobbits and gnomes, and one more associated with the coast like hermitcrabs
These have been mentioned before, but I'd love to see where you all run with this!!
THEY'RE ALL LIKE GOOFY SKYKIDS AHH I LOVE IT
pls i need grian to see this this is such a good idea
OMG YES PLEASE, SKYCHILDREN HERMITS AND HOBBIT HERMITS IS THE BEST IDEA >
i think the attracted to diamonds thing works well, because the hermits trade with diamonds while empires members trade with other items
big lamp base
Pixies! They’re smaller! And mischievous! And they come summoned into the human world through mushroom circles (reminiscent of hermits coming thru a portal into another server, no?) they are sometimes rumored infestactasous too I believe, fitting for hermits who have come into a new world and immediately cause trouble lol. Or otherwise you guys should just live up to the name and be hermit crabs! Each elytra would be a different shell too!
It's like Grain took the Hermits for a little field trip for some inspiration and new ideas. I love it.

I love how Grian almost called it an “invasion” at the end.
i feel like a “community” defines these hermits, build a city that involves all of you
The hermits are able to hang out and make a city when they’re on hermitcraft. I bet the hermits will take advantage while they can and mostly do content with non-hermits. Tango already moved in with fwhip
i would say in tearms of looks hermits should like all have hoods and cloaks.
Grown got isekaied lmao
I think the infrastructure is a big thing as well, kinda like "Mad Science Hermit" kinda thing
You should all have minirature versions of your basses, but with a very large underground that all connects your bases. Sort of like a ant farm.
This would be a really great idea. It would also have the benefit of keeping them from needing to rebuild their bases from scratch again.
OMG YESSSSSS
good idea!!
I like the idea of the Hermits being just that…Hermits. Any of the hermits can choose a skin and backstory for their own character that best fits them but what connects them all is their choice of lifestyle and unusual origin…wanderers through a strange rift, unaligned to an empire or land on this server.
I could see some fun gags happening from just some differences in customs between the Traveling Hermits and the people of Empires.
Some common traits between hermits:
They often go off on their own and establish grand homes for themselves away from the many empires. They’re more for doing their own thing than following the edicts of any one kingdom. The only common space that unites them is the Shopping District. See, many Hermits are often struck with an entrepreneurial spirit and will seek wealth in diamonds by producing goods and services needed by the other wandering Hermits. Many will amass great riches through invention and tinkering with redstone, while others would delight in the architectural arts.
so similar to the mandalorian's since it's not a race but a creed ????
Hermits also will take ANY opportunity to prank
THIS, THIS, I LOVE THIS
Their just so diverse you cant generalise them!!
Bro just wrote an essay in the comments section
Hermits aren’t necessarily short, however they tend to be viewed to at least hold a skillful wisdom that no one would know otherwise. Hermits are also seen as crazy in most circumstances. Hermits are also sometimes considered the first step to sage hood in fantasy and mythos.
Im just imagining Mumbo comes back and just aimlessly walks around in the empty server asker where everyone went like in the spongebob episode.
Imagine 🤣🤣
This better happen.
This is how *_Mumbo became mayor_*
@@TheyCallMeDio oh 😂
He might go in to the Rift because everyone else probably already told him.
Every interaction between Grian and Timmy is always hilarious. Of course Grian instantly started threatening Timmy just after joining.
I like to think hermits are a ridiculously variable species, even to the point one can change on their own (like how Scar (presumably) went from an elf to a human over the course of Season 9)
I like to believe he’s still an elf, just with a construction cap
like the eevees of minecraft
They're basically morphs/ shape shifters, which depending on the seasons they look different.
or how Mumbo became a variety of things in Season 8(?) based on what he was eating.
Changelings?
This series has become an isekai and im here for it
Hermits HAVE to have wings! You guys are always flying around and watching you all fly as a flock when you’re together is always awesome!!
Yes please wings!
They do need wings
Yeah very true
YESS
*insert David Attenborough voice* and here we see the wild flock of Hermits flying south for the winter
One of Grian's intrusive thoughts in the Audible ad was "Mumbo is so much cooler".
To be fair, no one is cooler than Mumbo
an other one was "am i a furry ?"

@@NerdPodcastRadio no lol the fans like that they do what they want to, because what they want to do is interesting and fun
If you need defining physical traits for the hermits, I suggest looking to the fanartists! A lot of artists are already drawing you all with various mob traits (yourself with parrot wings, scar and cub as vexes, etc). I know that doesn't really give you all the SAME traits, but personally I think the uniqueness among the designs is part of what makes Hermitcraft so fun. Plus, with all the unique textures Empires uses, you have the opportunity to make your favorite fan interpretations real!
agreed!!
It reminds me of a chimera type thing where each one is unique but the same species nonetheless
@@someone_that_is_weird Agreed
They should be hermit crabs
Also agreed
Hermits are intuitive creatures. Their small size makes them perfect for cramming many useful farms into tight spaces. Given enough room, they can grow these farms to produce an abundance of materials. Hermits then take these materials and trade them for gems. A few hermits have attempted to pass off gems of lesser value, but this species really only seems interested in diamonds, using them as a currency, either individually easier to acquire, or smaller quantities of items, or even as whole blocks for bulk purchases or hard to obtain items. Organized, they gather all their surplus goods in a single shopping district away from their homes, so that all hermits can find what they need quickly and efficiently. They are also a very sociable society, often times building near each other and/or connecting their homes through tunnels and roadways. This does not mean they are not without mischief, however, so tread carefully, least you encounter a Hermit a bit to excitable with loud noise-makers of any variety, or even a bit of TNT.
My take on the Hermit species:
- They are a nomadic people, never staying in the same place for long
- Once they are satisfied with there Settlements they seek new lands to start anew leaving their lands fo those that find them afterwards
- They are very industrious, always trying to build more and faster than before. Their motivation is to surpass their previous heigth
(- probably compensating for their slightly less than average height)
hey don't judge it has a good personality fyi
-They have a tendency for wars and even self destruction, dunno why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nice
Hermits are a species of player that are shorter than the average player (and Bdubs is shorter than that) that love to travel via flight with the help of elytras. Each hermit has their own little talents but the two most common talents a hermit can have are building and redstone. Hermits love to be with one another and can be found in groups of 2 or more. Hermits are very creative beings and often take on hefty projects like mega bases as soon as they can. In some cases, you can find a hermit taking on more than one project at a time so it is uncommon to see a hermit not working on some form of a project. Hermits are also well known for their mischief. They are capable of pulling pranks big and small whether it’d be rearranging items in chests to building massive eye catching builds on other player’s bases. Hermits are also known for leaving chest monsters around the world so if you ever find a chest monster in the wild, know that it is a sign a hermit is either nearby or was nearby and has now left.
I love this
this is perfect
It Very perfect
I like how Grian handles the lore. He follows and respects it but also breaks the 4th wall and talks about it.

Grain is really trying hard to avoid building the back of Dwayne.
Oh so that's what this is all about. Sending the entire server to empires just for that? Lol
I like to think that hermits as a species look strange in an uncanny valley way. maybe hermits blink slower. maybe they can bend their joints a little too far out for comfort. theres a tiny bit of lag when they speak and when their mouth moves. they sit idle in poses that look uncomfortable.
Yep
that last one just sounds like me lol
yes
Ok wait this is really neat
I'm uncomfortable just thinking about this...
The Hermits feel like they'd definitely be a shorter species, obviously, and I feel like they could have some in game mob Lore, like bdubs is a Glare, Cleo is a Zombie, Cub and Scar are Vex, youre a Parrot, etc. And they kinda have their own mini society, where wars are games and diamonds are the currency. I kinda imagine them like Hobbits or elves, just there for a good time and to cause some chaos, just for the goofs and gaffs
