The members of the Hermitcraft Server.

Note: There is a distinction between the characters presented on the episodes of Hermitcraft, and the people who play them in real life. While they generally overlap in terms of personality and thus tropes, in role-playing cases it is just that: role-play. The tropes listed will, in most cases, be referring to the characters.

^{Click here to see his old skin}

IGN: BdoubleO100
Preferred name: Bdubs
First Joined: Season 1
Active Seasons: 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Character Catchphrase: "Uh-oh, gotta shreep." whenever it becomes dark on the server.
Companion Cube: In Season 8, he's almost always seem carrying a clock, in which both Keralis and Pearl try to swindle from him once per episode. It's rather obvious on what this clock references.
Cyberpunk: His Season 9 base was a once-ancient temple that has been redesigned into a futuristic temple.
Failed a Spot Check: Due to his habit of always sleeping as soon as it starts turning dark, he completely missed the massive moon in the sky during season 8 until after Scar stole his bed.
A God Am I: During the Empires crossover, Bdubs, notorious for being Really Fond of Sleeping, hijacks Gem's sun-worshipping religion and places himself as its deity.
Height Angst: Bdubs is constantly made fun of for being allegedly shorter than the other Hermits. During the Empires crossover in Season 9, when the Hermit 'transfiguration' machine shrinks his height down to actually being the shortest among them in-game, he is not amused.
I Fell for Hours: According to Bdubs' description in his first episode of Season 6, he fell for 2 years before he was saved by Keralis' swimming pool. Before he released the video, he made Funny Background Events in some of the Hermits' videos from September 1st to September 4th, which caught the Hermits' attention.^note
Large Ham: Downplayed, as he doesn't yell that much, but Bdubs's voice is very animated and bombastic, and it only takes some very mild provocation to get him to start yelling.
Malaproper: Due to his hammy personality, he tends to slur his words much to their comedic effect.
- Saying "sleep" as "shreep".
- "Spore blossom" as "spohblossum".
- "Suspicious" as "spishisus."
Number Two:
- In Season 7, he becomes Mayor Scar's right-hand-man. He helps him with maintaining the shopping district and with realization of his plans.
- In Season 9, he's the advisor/jester/mascot/hype-man for King Ren.
Really Fond of Sleeping: Has gained significant fame across the server for how quickly he goes to sleep at night—as long as he's online, the moment the sun goes down, it's back up again. He even made a shop to challenge the other hermits to get to sleep faster than him. In the Empires crossover in Season 9, he hijacks Gem's sun-worshipping religion as a result of this and places himself as its deity.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: With Doc during early season 7, as both owned one half of Grian's mansion from season 6, and constantly squabbled over every little detail until Bdubs moved out. Scar took over this role for the second half of the season, specifically during the land games in Aque Town.

cubfan135

^{Click here to see his old skin}

IGN: cubfan135
Preferred name: Cub
First Joined: Season 4
Active Seasons: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Affably Evil: A member of the ConVex with Scar, a group centered around pranks and mischief. Come Season 6, this turns into ConCorp, a megacorporation that ends up owning half the shops on the server, giving Cub enough diamonds to start making floors and signs out of them. Basically, he and Scar were the rich, profit-hungry businessmen of the server, not hesitant at all to profit off events such as the Civil War by selling weapons to both sides. Cub took the lead on that, actively playing the weapon dealer role and telling G-Team and Team Star the other side was insulting them. However, the two are still nice and collaborate with the other Hermits at the end of the day, and ConCorp was basically the foundation of the Season 6 economy, with many Hermits relying on their supplies and the two hoarding diamonds to prevent mass inflation.
- The ConVex pranks (from Season 5) were also mostly harmless, one example being the Rencat prank.^note
Brainwashed and Crazy: During the Empires crossover. After entering the Evermoore to investigate it, Cubfan is consumed by its cursed Fog and starts spreading sculk corruption and soul light sources everywhere. After being decorrupted, he has no recollection of this ever happening.
Build Like an Egyptian: Throughout Season 7, Cub built multiple pyramids for several purposes in the desert biome. But the biggest one for his main base that season was a humongous pyramid, which is supposed to be a replica of The Great Pyramid of Giza. On top of this, he goes to a step further by wearing a pharaoh skin to go along with this motif. He does this again in Season 9 as part of the TCG game at the Shopping District, where he challenges those to beat him for his special card.
Eye Colour Change: After being consumed by the cursed Evermoore Fog on the Empires server, Cub's eyes turn from dark green to the turquoise of Echo Shards, and his sclerae turn to the black and dark teal of Sculk corruption. They revert back to normal once he is freed from the Sculk corruption.
Labcoat of Science and Medicine: His standard skin is always that of him wearing a lab coat. It helps that he's also a prominent redstone player as well.
Mummy: His Halloween skin in Season 7. Also fits with his Egyptian theme.
Significant Wardrobe Shift: During Season 8 Cub switches from his old scientist skin to skin more closely resembling himself.
War for Fun and Profit: Along with Scar, the both of them were arms dealers for the Hermitcraft Civil War in Season 6. When both sides confronted them about this at the end of the war, they gleefully flew away on a flying machine with their profits.

Docm77

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doc_9.png

IGN: Docm77
Preferred name: Doc
First Joined: Season 3
Active Seasons: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Animal Motifs: Starting with Season 7, he plays his acronym of G.O.A.T to the hilt, using a large goat statue he calls the Goatmother to represent his doctrine.
Artificial Limbs: Has a mechanical eye and right arm. He got the arm after Dinnerbone nerfed him back in his Mindcrack days.
Berserk Button: Doc has about two of these. In fact, he has no problem putting his foot on the ground if he feels disrespected.
- Do NOT touch Doc's bush. You could literally hear his blood pressure rise when Grian vandalised it with copies of his head in Season 6.
- After Grian pranks him by writing "Live, Laugh, Love" on the perimeter's wall in Season 9, Doc reveals he detests meaningless motivational quotes like these. Much of his episode first showing that he got pranked features him seething over the words, and whenever it comes onscreen — even if it's not fully readable — Doc can't help but get distracted by how much he hates it.
Bilingual Bonus: Doc is German, and thus speaks the German language fluently. During one episode, he played the persona of a German tourist, with English subtitles provided of course. It has been pointed out the subtitles were not direct translations, instead sometimes modified to be more coherent in English.
Call-Back: After he draws Grian's name for Secret Fools in Season 9, he calls him a "Pesky Bird", which is a phrase Grian said before killing a parrot for parrot masks back in Season 7.
Cowboy: As Doc Holiday, an alter ego he made for the Game of Life.
Cyborg: His skin is a cyborg creeper.
Evil Laugh: He gives one after drawing Grian's name for Secret Fools in Season 9, and again once his prank is ready for Grian to trigger.
Germanic Efficiency: Is German, and also considered to be one of Minecraft's best redstoners. His Season 7 plan, G.O.A.T., even revolves around this, standing for grind, optimize, automate, and thrive.
Gadgeteer Genius: Of the Mad Scientist variety.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Ren.
Mad Scientist: Is one of the most prominent redstone players in the server. Doc dedicates his time to creating game-breaking contraptions along with the help from his friends in the SciCraft server. He also plays up the mad scientist part very well, with his torn lab coat and intimidating cyborg parts along with his current season's ARG story arc.
- In Season 6, he created the Infinity Portal, a Nether portal that had a diamond frame that could take people through different servers and even time period.
- In Season 7, he rigged up his base from head to toe with traps and even adding an escape tunnel for himself.
- In Season 8, most of the redstone contraptions he made were done using game-breaking methods, from an octagon-shaped Nether portal to infinite item updates.
- In Season 9, as revenge for Grian and Scar leaving some small creeper holes in his otherwise pristine perimeter floor, Doc builds a contraption to rain down charged creepers on Grian's base, then develops a contraption to fire an arrow at someone from over 3000 blocks away with such momentum that it not only bypasses even netherite armour, but completely destroys every piece of armour the player is wearing in one hit.
The Mafia: Early in season 7, Doc had called himself the Goatfather, setting up his own mafia in order to combat BDubs's shenanigans.
Malicious Compliance: During Season 9, Doc needed a ton of sandstone for his builds in the Perimeter, and so to save time he built a sand duper to quickly mass-produce the sandstone. This ended up turning into an ethics discussion behind-the-scenes which ended with Doc being voted down and forced to dismantle the sand duper so as not to devalue the time other Hermits put into hand-collecting sand. Doc has remained salty about this ever since. Fast-forward to Season 10, where Doc arranged to own or be the supplier for three out of the five permits for selling wood, some of the highest-valued permits. Instead of diamonds, however, Doc has decided to sell the wood for sand. And what does Doc plan to do with the sand? Put it all into a giant hourglass build, to symbolize all the hours everyone else will spend hand-collecting it. After all, if it's easy enough to not warrant the use of a duper, surely they won't mind doing it on someone else's behalf?
Shout-Out: The bionic half of his face is inspired by The Terminator, as many fans likened his deep voice and German accent to Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: With Grian during Seasons 6, and BdoubleO100 during the first episodes of season 7. Later in that same season, he got in hot water with Llama Dad (VintageBeef) after Doc named himself the Goatfather, and the two proceeded to act like rivaling mafia bosses.

Etho

IGN: Etho
Preferred name: Etho
First Joined: Season 3
Active Seasons: 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10

Badass Bookworm: Etho's is pretty good at PvP and can use his vast knowledge of game mechanics to his advantage. That said, the combat mechanics since 1.14 are not his strong suit, and the Running Gag of Etho being "washed up" from the Limited Life SMP occasionally bleeds over to Hermitcraft by the other Hermits, which he takes in good stride.
Character Catchphrase: "Oh, snappers!"
Ignorance Is Bliss: Proactively avoids mentioning or doing anything related to Season 8's Moon Big phenomenon and its physical effect on the world around him. His reason is that surely other Hermits would have come up with ways to deal with the situation.
Limited Wardrobe: Notoriously bad with changing his skin, even for server events. For the Button Game where it was required that the players change their skins to match with the color they received, Etho just put on a dyed leather shirt and called it a day.
No Face Under the Mask: Due to how Minecraft avatars work, characters are hollow and certain glitches let you see 'inside' of someone's head. This occasionally happens to Etho, so under his mask all you can see is... his mask, but mirror-flipped.
Retail Therapy: Most prominent in Season 8 where Iskall actively provided Etho the funds for him to shop as much as he wanted. It was to the point that Bdubs pointed out it would be wise to keep Etho as the Big Eye Crew's main customer.
She Is the King: Gender-flipped with Princess Etho during Season 4 and later with Ice Queen Etho during Season 7.
Shout-Out: His default skin is modeled after Kakashi Hatake.
Winter Royal Lady: During Season 7 as Ice Queen Etho.

FalseSymmetry

IGN: FalseSymmetry
Preferred name: False
First Joined: Season 2
Active Seasons: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Action Girl: Is among the best at PvP on the server, usually seen as the best.
- She was also the first person to win the Minecraft Championship two times in a row. Her first win was in MCC 9 together with her fellow Hermit Rendog alongside HBomb and speedrunner Fruitberries. Their win is considered to be the biggest underdog victory in the event. In MCC 10, she won with another Hermit, Cubfan, alongside Joel (who wasn't a Hermit yet at that point) and PeteZahHutt. False carried the team Dodgebolt earning her the nickname "False Supremacy". She once again won in MCC 17, getting her third win. This time, she was once again teamed with Pete and was joined by Grian and SB737.
Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The blonde to StressMonster and PearlescentMoon's brunette and GeminiTay and ZombieCleo's redhead.
Cyberpunk: Her Season 7 base was based on Cyberpunk2077.
Properly Paranoid: During Season 10's game of Demise, whenever she's approached by red-named Hermits, False makes a "pillar of safety" to stand on and avoid any attempts at her life. Before she logs off, she makes such a pillar as well, but actually logs off elsewhere, figuring the pillar will be a prime spot for Hermits to trap. Sure enough, when she logs back on, she finds that Gem has destroyed the pillar and dug a giant pit under it. She also later takes to logging off in random places and sleeping in other Hermits' bases instead of her own, just to avoid any potential traps. This all pays off when she ends up being the last living Hermit and therefore the winner of Demise.
The Sheriff: During Season 4.
Stalker without a Crush: During the Empires crossover in Season 9, False is insistent on keeping an eye on her Empires counterpart because Empires-False was allegedly dangerous before Hermit-False gave her amnesia, going as far as to construct a tower in Cogsmeade, Empires-False's empire, to document activity on her.

GeminiTay

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gems8.png

IGN: GeminiTay
Preferred name: Gem
First Joined: Season 8
Active Seasons: 8, 9, 10

Beware the Nice Ones:
- Despite being generally sweet and wholesome, Gem spent a good portion of Season 9 dueling other hermits with wooden swords, getting a large collection of heads (many of which were Etho's alone), the nickname GeminiSlay, and the highest player kill count of the season at 207.
- In Season 10, she threatens to murder Skizzleman just for snooping around her chest of items, and even prepares an enchanted bow to shoot at him upon realizing he hasn't got any protective armor on. And she actually kills him in the end.
Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The redhead (alongside Cleo) to StressMonster and PearlescentMoon's brunette and FalseSymmetry's blonde.
Dimensional Traveler: The Empires SMP crossover in Season 9 revealed her to be one between Hermitcraft, Empires, and all her other series, subverting the paradox otherwise present for members of both servers.
A Dog Named "Cat": She's got a few interesting pet names for her animals.
- Her horse was named "Moose", her cat was named "Goose", and her pet Ravager was named "Cow".
Green Thumb: Her Season 8 base and merchandise revolve around growing and selling plants, especially those added in 1.17.
Opportunistic Bastard: When Grian AFK'ed at her base for a prank, she immediately put him in a jar and sold him to Impulse.
Le Parkour: She converted a subterranean ravine under her Season 8 base into a dripleaf parkour course with dripleaf as a reward at the end.
Pungeon Master: Upon claiming Tegg, she made her base into a Pungeon, with crying obsidian decoys and red herring hiding spots accompanied with puns saying to search elsewhere.
Running Gag:
- Her "<name> is <adjective>!" signs, most notably the gigantic one she planted atop Keralis' house.
- In Season 9, her "Gem will..." signs and accompanying "Gem will watch Impulse..." signs.
Shout-Out: Her Season 10 starter base is inspired by DREDGE.

GoodTimesWithScar

^{Click here to see Tycoon Scar}

IGN: GoodTimeWithScar
Preferred name: Scar
First Joined: Season 4
Active Seasons: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Affably Evil: A member of the ConVex with Cub, a group centered around pranks and mischief. Come Season 6, this turns into ConCorp, a megacorporation that ends up owning half the shops on the server, turning Scar into the richest Hermit. Basically, he and Cub were the rich, profit-hungry businessmen of the server, not hesitant at all to profit off events such as the Civil War by selling weapons to both sides (though Scar was unfortunately in the hospital for most of the event). However, the two are still nice and collaborate with the other Hermits at the end of the day, and ConCorp was basically the foundation of the Season 6 economy, with many Hermits relying on their supplies and the two hoarding diamonds to prevent mass inflation.
- The ConVex pranks (from Season 5) were also mostly harmless, one example being the Rencat prank.^note
- "This is Scar's shop" -Grian, about Sahara at the end of the season, in reference to how nearly all of the redstone (massive amounts) of redstone Sahara used came from Scar's Cherry Computers shops.
- Also counts as this through his Captain Angry Eyes persona during the Area 77 Arc.
Animal Nemesis: Meanie Bears (aka Pandas) after being killed by one during Day 1 of Season 7.
Butt-Monkey: Scar is notorious for dying a lot. No episode displays this better than this one from Season 5, where zombies invade his starter base and kill him... 16 times. The Hermits have the joke "no place is Scar-safe" to refer to how he manages to die even in places designed to be safe and mob-proof.
Character Catchphrase:
- "Ooh, hello there, my fellow miners and crafters, GoodTimesWithScar here, and welcome back to the wonderful world of Hermits and crafting!"
- "It's gonna be amayzin'!"
Cloudcuckoolander: Probably the biggest one on the server.
Grian: (whispering through a wall) Scar!
Scar: What? Hello?
Grian: Sc- (laughing) Boatem Hole, 5 minutes!
Scar: Have you become a villager?
Comedic Sociopathy: Despite his good nature, Scar is always one for a good in-game murder. One particularly memorable quote from Season 8:
Did my trading with said trader, and, as one would do, decapitated him and sent him to his grave.
A Dog Named "Cat": In Season 10, Scar adopts a horse, where he nametagged it "cOW".
Driven to Suicide: In Season 8 during the game of Tegg, after he realized he forgotten about the dragon egg inside of Treesa's mouth which has since been taken by Grian, Scar decided to drop himself into Boatem Hole and into a void. Considering there's a respawn system in Minecraft, this doesn't last long.
Goofy Print Underwear: As a result of lacking pants, his Season 7 wizard skin exposes his boxers.
Hats Off to the Dead: In the wake of TinfoilChef's passing, Scar built the tree memorial for TFC before he took his hard hat off to pay respects and talked about what matters in life.
Honest John's Dealership: When he was starting out in Season 8, he would specifically target certain Hermits who were in need of resources to sell his wares to them. Most notably, he didn't have a need for diamonds, but for a slice of that Hermit's real estate.
I'm a Humanitarian: Discussed in his 65th episode of Season 5. Scar stated in a conversation with Cub that he has eaten people, one of which is Indiana Jones, which is where his skin comes from.
Lethal Klutz: Once accidentally launched fireworks into a crowded room, killing a couple of his fellow Hermits.
"L" Is for "Dyslexia": Due to suffering Dyslexia, Scar tends to have some trouble pronouncing the words he was trying to say despite being able to read and write, which causes some of the mishaps to happen in the server.
Master Archer: In Season 9, he starts making jumpscares by shooting people with bow and arrow whilst exclaiming "Hawkeye!", then later "HotGuy!", starting with Grian when they did an End Raid together, sometimes into falling off the edge to their deaths. While initially this is merely a Running Gag, eventually, Scar genuinely became scarily good with bows as shown in the Finale of Diamond Pillar War.
People Fall Off Chairs: When he was pranking a (seemingly) AFK Grian, Grian suddenly asked what he was doing. Scar was so surprised by this that he partially fell out of his IRL wheelchair. He does it again after his bed detonated as it was rigged by Grian.
Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure:
- In the Season 8 finale, Scar's rocket reminds him of something from "that British show".
  Scar: You know, the- the Police- the Police Box? You know, what's it called? What's it called? It's, uh... ah... the Tortoise! The Tortoise! That's right!
- Narrowly averted when he discovers that his Secret Fools' prankster has built a statue of Cookie Monster with elf ears on his base.
  Scar: Oh, no way, that is an- oh, it's an elf... Emo. No, not Emo. Elmo? No. Um, what's the- the- Grouchy! No, not Grouchy, um... um, the- the guy, he's blue and he loves cookies and he goes 'Yum yum yum I love cookies', he's uh... Cookie Monster! There we go! (laughs) I tried every... every name until it clicked in my brain.
Robe and Wizard Hat: He sports one at the beginning of Season 7, which caused the Hermits to mistakenly assume he is wearing pajamas.
Running Gag: He seems to get his pants stolen quite frequently, usually by the mobs which kill him.
Shout-Out: His default skin is inspired by the titular character of Indiana Jones.
- His mayor outfit in Season 7 resembles The Mayor of Townsville of The Powerpuff Girls.
Snake Oil Salesman: When he was a wizard in Season 7, he insisted on selling "magic crystals" to other Hermits, claiming that they were truly magical. Some worked out, some didn't.
Ultimate Authority Mayor: In Season 7 as the mayor of the shopping district, he can basically do anything with it, since there are no higher authorities than him.
Walking Shirtless Scene: After he was killed by the pufferfish trap set up by Ren and Stress in Season 6, because his jacket and shirt got torn off by the pufferfish, Scar spent his entire time being deceased in Demise shirtless.
War for Fun and Profit: Along with Cub, the both of them were arms dealers for the Hermitcraft Civil War in Season 6. When both sides confronted them about this at the end of the war, they gleefully flew away on a flying machine with their profits."
Wizard Beard: Sported one at the beginning of Season 7. When he was elected mayor of the shopping district, he had to shave it off.
Yet Another Stupid Death: Scar is notorious for getting into improbably stupid and improbably deadly situations.
- His first death in Season 7 was from a panda (a neutral mob), when he tried to kill it for food (spoiler alert, they don't drop food unless you're another panda). Later during the 3rd livestream weekend, Scar admits to having died twice to pandas.
- During one of Cub's streams, he dies trying to sleep in the Nether.
- After getting Grian to use TNT to begin his second big dig project, Scar then flies into the hole. In the span of a few seconds he manages to anger an Enderman that lowers him to half health, and then fly directly into two nearby creepers that explode him to death.
- At the start of Season 8, he gets killed by a Llama.
- While attempting to launch himself into flight, he crashed into several walls of his own build, resulting in death.
- He somehow trapped himself in bedrock at the bottom of the Boatem Hole, without a way to free himself. After some bargaining, Grian gave him a pearl to get out, but somehow the both of them fell into the hole and died.
- In his first episode of Season 9, after showing off how to mine for nether debris with beds, he decides to make sure to set his spawn. With a bed. In the Nether. Cue the same explosion he just showed off for mining purposes, killing him.

Grian

IGN: Grian
Preferred name: Grian
First Joined: Season 6
Active Seasons: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Black Bead Eyes: Compared to most other Hermits' character designs, his simple, beady eyes stand out.
Chain of Deals: During an episode of Season 8, he shows how through villager trades he can start with two pumpkins and end up with enough emeralds to build a full beacon pyramid.
Complexity Addiction: While playing Multi(verse) Tag during the Empires crossover in Season 9, Grian is tasked with killing an Empires player by letting them fall into the Void. He initially attempts to recreate some aspects of the Boatem Hole from Season 8 for this... which eventually devolves into him being just a bit extra by setting up an entire "Tea Party" in the Void with some of LDShadowLady's Frog Men villagers. In spite of questioning his life choices in committing to the bit, after everything is said and done, he deems it all Worth It.
Grian: (while building a minecart track to transport a frog villager into the Void-hole) This plan has turned into something... just insane now. I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. This is a game of tag! Why am I... committing to the flair of a tea party?
Escalating War: Has a trend of starting or escalating pranks until they become full-blown wars. Downplayed in Season 8 where most of the conflicts he participated in ended quicker than before.
Fourth-Wall Observer: He is fully aware of people in the comments' habit to spoil things of upmost secrecy to other Hermits, such as the Mycelium Resistance HQ and his Secret Bases, that he repeatedly tells people not to spoil anything to other Hermits, to the point of also tricking his own audiences with certain secrets because he can't trust them not to spoil so much.
Henpecked Husband: One of his Audible ads portrays him as one, prompting him to put in his earbuds and listen to an audiobook to drown out his wife's voice.
Innocently Insensitive: He spent an entire episode referring to his quest for a mending book as his "Manifest Destiny". Being British, he obviously wouldn't be expected to have familiarity with 19th century American expansionism.
Obstructive Bureaucrat: Plays this role a little too well in Season 10 as owner of the Hermit Permits office, forcing people to jump through hoop after hoop to get anything done and listen to the same elevator song if they ask questions.
Paper-Thin Disguise:
- As Poultry Man in Season 6. Despite everyone knowing it was him, he insisted "It wasn't me, it was the man in the chicken costume!" until the very last episode, where he finally "revealed" himself.
- As the Door Thief/Jungler in Season 7, denying he's stealing any doors.
- Also a G-Man, his Season 7 hero persona (Grian really like these disguises).
- He's also just known for his numerous skin swaps, admitting he has dozens of skins that he's never used, but has in the "closet" just waiting for the right time to bust out. And given the variety he's already shown, everyone's inclined to believe him.
Playing a Tree: After being given a custom carved pumpkin that looks like a tree by Tango, Grian takes the opportunity to prank Cub and Scar in Season 8.
The Prankster: The entire reason why there's an Escalating War in each season he's in so far is because of Grian's reputation as a prankster, where he would provoke a fellow Hermit into pranking him back. Sometimes he would also get some Hermits to help him do some of the pranks in regards to some situations such as leading and breeding thousands of chickens inside of Doc's Perimeter with a device he and Scar made in Season 9 and tricking Scar into getting killed over and over again with a death loop in Season 7. He's also the one to make events that would involve pranking a Hermit if one were to sign up such as Secret Fools Day and Multi(verse) Tag in Season 9. He's also more than happy to participate in any pranks if a Hermit needs help.
Running Gag: His inability to finish the back of his bases from Season 7 onward.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: With Doc ever since Season 6 and Scar during mid-Season 7.
Sticky Fingers: While all Hermits occasionally swipe resources, Grian (especially in older seasons) loves to ransack others' storage the most, particularly Mumbo's. At the beginning of Season 7, Mumbo built an access card reader to protect his storage specifically from Grian, naming it the K.G.O.O.M.R. (Keep Grian Out Of My Resources).
Tempting Fate: He confidently states, "I fear no Warden," while offering to help Tango corral them back into Decked Out 2. The veritable shulker's worth of totems that he burns through afterwards paints a very different picture.
What Does This Button Do?: Grian is infamous for randomly pushing any and all buttons and levers he sees. As the result, this leads to hilarious or disastrous consequences. This is especially notible towards Mumbo where he made a secured vault to stop Grian from pressing buttons, and towards Doc where the tunnel bore incident caused an Escalating War of pranks and the redstone robot fight between Grian, Scar, and Mumbo against Doc and Ren in Season 9.
White Void Room: Has a knack for making these, to the point that Impulse is immediately able to figure out that he's responsible for an April Fool's Day prank in season 9 when he uses them.

Hypnotizd

IGN: Hypnotizd
Preferred name: Hypno
First Joined: Season 1

Mushroom House: Hypno's base in Season 8 is an area filled with mushroom houses of various sizes.
Take a Third Option: During the Mycelium War plotline in Season 7, he got recruited to join Beef's third faction called the Podzol Party.
Those Two Guys: With xBCrafted. They're definitely the more chill Hermits of the group and in Season 8 they decided to make their own marketplace, the Horse Head Farms together.

iJevin

IGN: iJevin
Preferred name: Jevin
First Joined: Season 2
Active Seasons: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Butt-Monkey: Jevin's history surrounding Demise. First, he died not by traps set up by the Greyskins, but by crashing into the side of Mumbo's abandoned Evil Island building mid-flight, the only death up to that point that was completely by accident. Things don't improve as a Greyskin either, as his traps completely fail to kill anyone, ending the game with zero kills or assists ^note- hell, Mumbo contributed to more kills than him while still alive (to rub salt in the wound, one of those kills was Jevin himself)... and if that weren't bad enough, he then decides to head into the End to kill some Withers- falling right into Cub's portal trap and inadvertently preventing more Demises (Grian was headed to the End, and Doc was about to lure someone there, meaning either would have died to the trap instead).^note He leaves Season 6 partway through Demise, but adding one last insult to injury is Joe picking up his Demise bet jackpot and delivering it to Jevin's home so he can have it easily if he rejoins for a special event, only to die to a lava trap outside the house, and drop his 54 diamond blocks into lava.
Character Catchphrase: "Oh my god."
Deadpan Snarker: He has a rather snarky sense of humor.
Friendly Rivalry: With Cleo during Season 9.
Significant Wardrobe Shift: Between Seasons 7 and 8, Jevin's colour switches from light blue to traditional slime green after getting pushed into a green liquid by Evil X.

Charlie and the Chocolate Parody: His Season 8 project is a massive chocolate factory for producing the iDimpy Bar, complete with a room containing a candy landscape. He even has note blocks play "Candy Man" on the premises and gets the occasional pointer from "Charlie".
Extreme Omnivore: He spent a good portion of Season 8 feasting on amethyst shards.
Gadgeteer Genius: Is well known for being good with redstone contraptions, and has made several high-tech farms on the various seasons of Hermitcraft.
Literal-Minded: While playing Decked Out 2, Impulse got puzzled on using the level 1 artifact he was holding, so Tango gives him a little bit of the hint by saying "there's a little bit of verticality", but Impulse took it literally by attempting to throw the level 1 artifact into the hole upwards much to Tango's chagrin, who clearly stated there's multiple floors.

Iskall85

IGN: Iskall85
Preferred name: Iskall
First Joined: Season 4
Active Seasons: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Apologetic Attacker: During Season 10's Demise, after punching Wels into a secret stalagmite pit, Iskall apologizes to him as Wels falls down the pit and dies. Subverted, since what Iskall is actually apologizing for here is lying about his intentions with luring Wels to his base not being Demise-related^note.
Artificial Limbs: Has a mechanical eye and right arm. The right arm is, however, hidden under synthetic skin.◊
Bilingual Bonus: His name Iskall is Swedish for "ice cold".
Character Catchphrase:
- "Hallo."
- "Great success!"
Cyborg: His skin is a cyborg.
Doomy Dooms of Doom: At least Once an Episode. This is taken up to eleven when Iskall decided on the new hot potato punishment to add 'of Doom' when naming things and tries to potato Grian. However, he was immediately caught, and had to complete his own punishment as a result.
Enmity with an Object: Really hates diorite. This has been taken up to memetic levels.
Mustache Vandalism: Whenever he sees any block or building that bear resemblance to Bumbo Cactoni, he can't help but build a mustache on top to complete his vision.
Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Iskall is from Sweden, and occasionally fails to get US or UK based pop culture references. In season 6, he had no clue who Dorothy was, and in Season 7, when VintageBeef builds a giant Woody Woodpecker statue at his base, Iskall names it 'Alan' due to not knowing its English name.
Running Gag: The channel not only with the most of these, but also the longest running ones.
- First is his hatred for diorite and compulsive need to burn all of it. This is been a thing since before he joined Hermitcraft, ever since it first came out.
- Having his creations' names end with "of Doom", like "Siege of Doom".
- His loud, high pitched, infectious laugh.
- Bumbo Cactoni, a cactus he builds in Season 5 after a fan yelled "Bumboooooooo" in the Livestream chat. It turned into various variations in that season, with Iskall and even some other Hermits building cactus-like structures based off the original. Some examples include "Bumbo Oldoni", "Bumbo Enderoni", and "Bumbo Cactoni's Girlfriend". In Season 6, this turned into putting Bumbo Cactoni's signature moustache on various buildings, such as Welsknight's community enchanting house and a giant one on Mumbo' base (which stayed and became a defining feature of the build). In Season 7, Grian even got in on the action by putting a moustache on Scar's starter house, Larry the Snail.
- Pursuing Grian during Tag and Tag 2: Electric Boogaloo and dying to a Pit Trap as a result.
Those Two Guys: With Stressmonster.

JoeHills

IGN: joehillssays
Preferred name: Joe
First Joined: Season 1
Active Seasons: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Cloudcuckoolander: While many of the Hermits are a bit weird, Joe Hills in particular is an oddball. He built a bunker specifically to fend off musical threats, thought that the 84 diamonds he paid for a storage locker that ended up containing nothing but paintings were completely worth it, writes poems which he reads in his videos, often speaks in rhyme, and has some quotes that start off fine but then go completely off the rails.
Joe: When life gives you lemons, then that... really shouldn't go in your lungs. Lemons are not a breathable thing, don't aerosolize lemons for inhalation purposes, people!
Confusion Fu: During the final battle of Tag 2: Electric Boogaloo, he attacks the (heavily-armoured) Xisuma and Keralis whilst wearing no armour and armed only with a stick. And an army of dogs. It fails, though the dogs give Xisuma a brief scare.
Enmity with an Object: Diamonds during Season 7.
Exact Words: After Season 6's Demise event, he suffers from this when using Mumbo's resaturator. While, as promised, it accurately restores the saturation (closeness to greyscale) of his skin, it gets the brightness (where along the greyscale it would be if desaturated) and hue (actual colour) completely inverted.
Gone Horribly Wrong: In Season 10, he attempts to gather wither roses using the Wither by trapping it in a hole filled with chickens. The Wither then escapes the hole and causes chaos around the area he attempted his farm in, requiring others to help defeat it.
My Friends... and Zoidberg: When discussing how he can steal starter base ideas from other Hermits:
Joe: There's a lot of smart Hermits and a lot of creative Hermits, and also Ren and Doc and whatever they're up to.
Odd Friendship: With Cleo. They're as opposite as can be, with Joe being rather pacifistic and Cleo constantly boasting about her bloodlust and taste in the macabre. However they always stick together as a duo and are best of friends.
Self-Imposed Challenge: Invoked. During Season 7, Joe decided early on that diamonds were the source of all greed and evil, and therefore should be covered with lava. This resulted in him burning all his diamonds and diamond gear, and going on a quest to obtain and burn as many diamonds as he could. This obviously presented some difficulties, as diamonds are the shopping district currency.

Keralis

IGN: Keralis1
Preferred name: Keralis
First Joined: Season 1
Active Seasons: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Actually Pretty Funny: Once he finds xB's treasure in the mouth prank and reads the signs xB left, he finds it hilariously funny in Season 9.
Keralis: (Laughing) You gotta be kidding me! Like is just such a perfect fit!
The Bus Came Back: Disappeared through a Nether portal in Season 3 and came back through Doc's Infinity Portal in Season 6.
Character Catchphrase:
- "Bam ba dum bum, bam ba dum bum bum– blip!"
- "Shpank you, very, very, very much!"
- "Look into my eyes, nothing but my eyes!"
Competition Freak: Has a competitive streak when it comes to playing minigames with xBCrafted.
Embarrassing Ringtone: "Friday" by Rebecca Black.
Enmity with an Object: Hates prismarine but not to "Iskall and diorite" levels.
Evil Laugh: Has a very distinct, gremlin-like laugh whenever he's up to no good.
The Gambling Addict: Does a lot of gambling. Other Hermits have been seen exploiting this for their own profits.
Malaproper: Keralis has become famous for these: "achacha" for acacia, "prismareeny" for prismarine, and "Shashwammy" for Xisuma, among others.
The Nicknamer: Keralis gives most of the Hermits their own nicknames. His more popular ones include Shashwammy (Xisuma), Bumbo (Mumbo), and Bubbles (Bdubs).
Oh, Crap!: His reaction when his TNT launcher doesn't propel him high enough to reach his space station, leaving him stranded on the ground when the moon crashlands.
Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Keralis lives in Sweden (but was born in Poland), and occasionally fails to get US or UK based pop culture references. For instance, during Season 8 he had to google to find out who Oscar the Grouch was.
Sore Loser: Constantly jeers at xB and even tries to cheat to get the upperhand during their minigame bouts.
That Came Out Wrong:
- "Want to see my baby-making room?"^*Villager breeder
- He also calls other Hermits and his audience "sweetfaces".

MumboJumbo

^{Click here to see Bumbo Baggins}

IGN: MumboJumbo (formerly), Mumbo (currently)
Preferred name: Mumbo
First Joined: Season 2
Active Seasons: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Achievements in Ignorance: He builds a slime farm in a swamp early in Season 9 because he didn't want to have to go through the trouble of hunting down a slime chunk, only for Doc to reveal later in the season that changes in the ways that mobs spawn actually made this far more practical than it used to be (though his design was missing the final steps).
Actual Pacifist: He claims he's this in Season 8, but as early as Episode 2, he's finding enough loopholes to make him a Technical Pacifist instead. Grian tricks him into killing something at the end of the season by dropping into the Boatem Hole with everyone else while on half a heart, and asking Mumbo for a high five.
Anthropomorphic Food: Early on in Season 8, he updated his skin to become a human potato, and later a superhero human potato, and even later, a cowboy human potato. And at the end of episode 27, he has become a human carrot after switching to golden carrots.
Butt-Monkey: He seems to have become a bit of one in Season 8, due to being surprised with being asked to introduce the season, the other Hermits' reactions to his skin-tone shorts and his "Peace, Love, and Plants" campaign, the initial commercial failure of his Tater Vendors, the Tree War in which Grian continually found more outrageous ways to vandalize his base with trees and ended with Mumbo's beloved bus permanently in the grip of a tree monster, and his frequent deaths in the Nether due to not being able to fight the mobs attacking him.
Ditzy Genius: Mumbo creates some of the most impressive industrial redstone mechanisms on the server, but he's also prone to some "spoony" moments, like renaming a Sahara NOW pass as a special gift to Docm and forgetting that doing so prevents it from working.
Enmity with an Object: Mumbo briefly hated ice during Season 6, but later begrudgingly admitted that it's actually pretty useful. Especially since it's a necessity for item streams. Has definitely changed his tune on this, having said multiple times on-camera that ice is a more useful way to transport and place water than buckets.
Gadgeteer Genius: Out of all the Hermits, Mumbo may well be the best at redstone.
The Gunslinger: Well, eggslinger at any rate. In Season 8, he challenges other Hermits to standoffs where they have to throw eggs at End Crystals to blow each other up (because unlike bows and arrows, they wont increase his kill count). He makes it to the end of the season undefeated.
Lives in a Van: His Season 8 starter base's original form was a replica of his Real Life van with a tiny house trailer.
Loophole Abuse: With his goal to not kill any mobs in Season 8, this is how he gets all his animal products, from pushing glow squids out of water to suffocate, setting fires directly in front of walking mobs and even at one point getting Grian to help him gather ink sacs. He even makes hostile mob farms which kill the mobs without needing him to attack, including taking advantage of Nether portal physics to auto-farm ghasts, impaling Endermen on pointed dripstone, and using tamed wolves to kill Blazes for him. These farms turn out to be part of yet another loophole: ghast tears, Ender pearls and Blaze rods are ingredients for making End crystals, which can instantly kill mobs and players without adding to Mumbo's scoreboard.
Mock Millionaire: Many Hermits suspect Mumbo to be this during Season 9 as he claims to be the richest Hermit on the server while refusing to show the contents of his vault to anyone, even his viewers. It possibly didn't help that the Recap team noticed him getting the recipes for diamonds from diamond blocks when Grian paid up for failing to break into his vault, meaning that was the first time he had held a diamond block.
The Mole: Mumbo during the Hermitcraft civil war. Or at least, that was the plan.
Motive Decay: As of his seventeenth episode of Season 8, he's no longer pretending that mobs dying to his End crystals are accidental, and openly says that he kills mobs, while presenting his unaffected scoreboard.
Never My Fault: In Season 8, before he got used to using End crystals and started caring only about his scoreboard rather than actually not killing mobs, he would describe the squids he beached and the animals that walked into the fires he set directly in front of them as simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Pimped-Out Car: His "horse" in Season 8 has been retextured with a hotrod design and had its sounds replaced with engine revs. And after becoming CEO of Boatem Inc., he's created more for his associates.
Playing a Tree: After being given a custom carved pumpkin that looks like a tree by Tango, Mumbo takes the opportunity to prank Grian, Cub and Scar in Season 8.
Significant Wardrobe Shift: In Season 8, after many seasons of pretty much only wearing his iconic human suit skin, Mumbo became a potato wearing various different outfits^notesuch as Superman, cowboy and Batman but still having his iconic moustache.

PearlescentMoon

IGN: PearlescentMoon
Preferred name: Pearl
First Joined: Season 8
Active Seasons: 8, 9, 10

Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The brunette (alongside StressMonster) to GeminiTay and ZombieCleo's redhead and FalseSymmetry's blonde.
Courier: Season 10 sees her become the Postmaster, setting up a postal service to better connect the Hermits.
Everyone Has Standards: While she is just as much of a Troll as the rest of the Hermitcraft server, Pearl finds it downright absurd that SmallishBeans and Grian would use 74 TNT minecarts to kill xBCrafted during Season 10's Demise event.
Land Down Under: Is the only Australian in the server. She likes to use this fact to play pranks on other people.
Neat Freak: Season 9 sees her become the Cleaning Lady and make huge efforts to eliminate chest/shulker monsters on the server by offering storage organization services and setting up dumpsters at various Hermits' bases for them to deposit their unneeded items in.
No-Sell: In Season 8, she becomes immune to the gravity effects caused by the moon at times. She suspects it's because she has "Moon" in her name.
The Perfectionist: She tore down and rebuilt her entire (rather large) starter base just because she didn't like what direction it was facing.
Running Gag: Her obsession with llamas and flipping animals and other mobs upside down to play into her being Australian. It's carried over into Season 9's diamond pillar competition, with her pillar starting at the build limit height and growing downward.
Sleep Deprivation: Due to living in Australia, it's often quite early for her when group recording sessions, particularly involving both European and American Hermits, occur, and so she can often be heard mentioning how tired she is. The "5 AM Pearl" Running Gag from Life SMP even carried over to Hermitcraft, with "5 AM" being one of her card's abilities in the Season 9 TCG.
Team Mom: Discussed. When Doc tries to get Grian and Scar in trouble for their bases being covered in duplicated dragon eggs, he is unaware both that PearlescentMoon is already aware of the ones in Scar's base and has been hired to clean them up, and that the original dragon egg was hers to begin with, meaning anyone who has any duplicates is in big trouble with her. As seen here, all it takes is Pearl asking Doc a few simple questions about where the eggs come from to get him to confess before making the comparison himself:
Docm77: Why do I feel like I'm talking to my mother?

Rendog

^{Click here to see his old skin}

IGN: Renthedog
Preferred name: Ren
First Joined: Season 4
Active Seasons: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Agony of the Feet: Ren has claimed that one of his toes was bitten off by a venomous silverfish while collecting his first piece of cobblestone on the Empires server during the crossover event in Season 9.
Butt-Monkey: Ren is alongside Scar and Mumbo one of the server's biggest Butt-Monkeys. In Season 7, his starter base was called "Loser island" and was later accidentally blown up during a failed Boomers^noteTango, Impulse and Bdubds Job. Ren also lost almost all of his items in the explosion pretty much pushing him back to square one.
Character Catchphrase:
- "Greetings cyberdogs, and citizens of the interbubs! This is Ren-Diggity-Dog, coming atcha in another Minecraft episode fuh-rooooooooom... The Hermitcraft server!"
- "Ladies, get in line!"
- "Now we're cooking with gas!"
- During Season 8, "The Octagon is a well-oiled machine!"
Cyborg: Becomes one during his last episode of Season 7. Together with his dog ears he is literally a cyberdog.
Department of Redundancy Department: As king in Season 9, his full title and name is "King RentheKing".
Didn't Think This Through: He hired Grian to build a room in his impenetrable vault, specifying that he would have to insure "no success" when the rest of the server is tasked with trying to break in. So Grian predictably builds an incredibly easy quiz room to make sure that there'd be "no success" for Ren.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Doc.
Large Ham: One of his most defining characteristics is his love for roleplay. Most evidently is his entire Season 7 character arc, where he wrote, filmed, and played both protagonists and antagonists for his Star Wars-inspired storyline.
Quest Giver: As king of the server during Season 9, he sets Royal Quests that the Hermits can complete for diamonds (and later Royal Emeralds), ranging from maintanence tasks to resource collecting to shenanigans.
Split Personality: Ren is well known for creating these, and he had a whole lineup as a result. Renbob, Grimdog, Tomato Yoshi are all from Season 6, and Ren the Kid from Season 7.
The Stoic: He speaks with a monotonous tone of voice and barely raises it. This does not allow other server members to take him seriously, though.

Skizzleman

Didn't Think This Through: While he had a concept for his S10 base, he didn't really plan on the scale of the build, and only realises the severity after constructing the first out of the intended five layers. For context, Grian, who was brought in to consult, envisioned the initial design would have dwarfed the mountain next to it by four times.
Early-Bird Cameo: First makes a guest appearance in Season 9 during the Decked Out Open Day event.

SmallishBeans

IGN: Smallishbeans
Preferred Name: Joel
First Joined: Season 10
Active Seasons: 9 (guest), 10

Butt-Monkey: Grian being an Obstructive Bureaucrat led to him only being able to have honey and glow ink sac shops for the shopping district of Season 10... only for him to not sell anything, because no one on the server wants either of those items.
Deadpan Snarker: His form of comedy is that he always speaks in a deadpan tone even when saying the most absurd things.
Early-Bird Cameo: Makes his first appearance on Hermitcraft in Season 9 as a guest for the crossover event with Empires SMP Season 2, followed by a second appearance later in the season for the Decked Out Open Day event, before being officially whitelisted for Season 10.
Running Gag: He names his tools and weapons by using sentences and act as Freeze-Frame Bonus for viewers to find.
Shout-Out: His outfit is modelled after the titular character from the Shrek franchise. His old skin from several years before he joined Hermitcraft was even Shrek.

First Joined: Season 5

Beware the Nice Ones: Stress is sweet, kind, and softhearted. Despite her noncombative nature, she isn't afraid to set lethal traps and lure her enemies to their doom whenever given the opportunity.
- During the Season 6's Civil War plot line, when Docm77 and his allies infiltrated the G Team's base, they chased after Stress, assuming that she was running away from fear. She was actually luring them towards a deadly zombie piglin trap, laughing gleefully along the way.
  Ren: (chasing after her with Doc) Oh, she's panicking so hard right now.
  Stress: (barely contained glee) Come and chase me, boys! I'm going to murder you!
- In Season 7, Doc tried to go after Stress when she was holding the Tag for Grian's Tag Game, only to be lured into a bubble elevator trap with multiple splash potion of harming dispensers triggering when he got stuck.
Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The brunette (alongside PearlescentMoon) to GeminiTay and ZombieCleo's redhead and FalseSymmetry's blonde.
Butt-Monkey: Less so than the others, of course, but the other members don't particularly have much respect for her and her builds (leading to occasional Heroic Self-Deprecation), and she's usually dragged along by the more nonsensical server members.
Funetik Aksent: Her pronunciation of "th" as "f" is reflected in her writing: for instance, she'll write as well as pronounce "think" as "fink".
I Am Very British: She's from the UK, and has quite a thick accent to show this, including the occasional British slang.
Nervous Wreck: Stress is incredibly agitated at times and isn't that self-confident, this being most prominent in her somewhat unpredictable behavior and tendency to speak anxiously. This, of course, explains her alias.
Paper-Thin Disguise: As Duck Woman, a rival to Poultry Man.
Pink Means Feminine: She adores the colors pink and magenta and always tries to incorporate them into her builds. She also loves flowers, especially the in-game alliums and most of her skins have her wearing a flower crown on her head.
Those Two Guys: With Iskall.
Winter Royal Lady: During Season 6 when she was the Ice Queen.

IGN: TangoTek
Preferred name: Tango
First Joined: Season 2
Active Seasons: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Big "NO!": Tango does one at the end of his Season 8 finale, when a moon rabbit sets off his lunar mega bomb while he's literally in the middle of building it, launching him into space and causing his whole plan to fail.
Character Catchphrase: "Behold! The [WHATITDOES]IFICATOR!"
Gadgeteer Genius: One of the best redstone players on the server, goes hand in hand with his Mad Scientist tendencies.
Mad Scientist: A more toned down version of the trope, in Season 7, Tango delighted in playing the role of a cartoon scientist by making his base themed entirely around cartoons aesthetics. The shenanigans ranged from making redstone contraptions to fling anvils around his builds to recreating Doofenshmirtz's Evil Inc. as part of his base, with the jingle.
- In a more meta sense of the game, Tango is one of the best redstone players in Minecraft. His iron farms are well known across the community and he always expand upon his designs every new season with increasingly creative ways to kill Iron Golems for infinite iron.
- He singlehandedly designed and created Decked Out, a Deck Building, Dungeon Crawling, Treasure Hunting, Collect-em-all, Trading Game in Vanilla Minecraft.
- Despite the game being only played once officially, by the end of Season 7 Tango also recreated Among Us in Vanilla Minecraft.
Playing a Tree: Tango takes advandage of using a custom carved pumpkin head by using mods to become a tree thanks to the invisability potion in Season 8, proceeding to prank Impulse, Mumbo, Grian, Cub, and Scar.
Unlucky Extra: At the beginning of Season 7. Tango didn't sign up for Head Hunt, nor Tag 2: Electric Boogaloo, both games involving killing each other, saying he wasn't much of a PvP guy. However, despite being one of the few Hermits not in either PvP event, he still ended up getting involved in a ridiculous amount of deathmatches.
- Iskall forgot he wasn't signed up and killed both him and Impulse (who was part of the Head Hunt PvP roster) while the two were in the Nether hunting Wither skulls.
- When Tango came to Keralis' base after the latter asked for some help on making an iron farm, Etho conveniently showed up to kill Keralis. This was on the Goatfather's orders, after Keralis and BDubs blew up Mount Goatmore. But needless to say, Keralis got a bit distracted from the iron farm making. Tango's reaction in the chat was "what the... what". The fight took a long time, by the way. Etho eventually retreated because he ran out of food; he had 17 golden carrots and 19 chorus fruits at the beginning of the match.
- Joe, being chased down by Jevin after killing him while AFK, fled to the Nether. His subsequent attempt to build a portal that led to the shopping district instead spawned him at Tango's base. Running into Tango's villager breeder thinking it might contain a nether portal, he ended up trapped inside Tango's villagers. Jevin's attempts to kill him resulted in the death of most of said villagers, along with the destruction of the breeder itself. Tango's iron farm also took a hit when Joe tried to mine on the side of the tunnel the golems were pushed down through into lava. On the plus side, Joe left an apology note and some resources, while Jevin attempted to fix the farms.
- While Etho and Tango were building a place in the shopping district for their stat poker game, Iskall came by looking for some heads to obtain and decided Etho was a suitable target. Tango was the one who had to count down to the fight.
Those Two Guys: With Impulse.

Big Fancy House: The theme of his starter base in Season 7 was "Opulance". He spared no expense decorating his mansion with gold blocks and gold-themed designs.
Cyberpunk: Just like False, his Season 7 base, the Three Fox Hole, was designed based on Cyberpunk2077.
The Don: In Season 7 as Llama Dad to rival Doc's Goatfather. Llama Dad had his own kind of ruthlessness, moreso towards his employees, Etho and Bdubs.
Don't Look At Me: During Season 8 he gradually mutates into an alien being after accidentally spraying himself with a black substance left by Evil X. When his face is completely transformed he decides it's too ugly to be seen by the other Hermits and begins donning a Grian mask to emulate his original human features.
Take a Third Option: During the Mycelium War plotline in Season 7, Beef decided to start a third faction called the Podzol Party, as he believed it was the perfect compromise between Grass and Mycelium.

Welsknight

IGN: Welsknight
Preferred name: Wels
First Joined: Season 4
Active Seasons: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Armor Is Useless: His character is that of an armored knight, but it's only for looks. He still needs to wear in-game armor on top of his aesthetic one.
Battle Rapping: Has one with Helsknight in Hels debut episode.
Convenient Coma: The canon in-universe reason he took so long to arrive in Season 7 is simply because he was in a coma when the seasons crossed over. Due to his lesser story focus and this simply being an excuse, however, this was never mentioned again.
Medieval European Fantasy: His main building style. Averted in Season 8 when he chose to do a more futuristic and industrial base.
Really Fond of Sleeping: Since joining, he's come to rival Bdubs in how good he is at sleeping.
Soundtrack Dissonance: For a guy who dresses up like a knight and excels at Medieval style buildings, the soundtrack he chooses for his timelapses is Rock.

Affectionate Nickname: Gets called "Princess" by Keralis. He doesn't complain about it.
After the End: Usually the theme of his builds, especially in Season 7.
Angrish: xB often mutters incoherently when he misplaces blocks or when mobs he utilizes are being uncooperative.
Bizarre Alien Biology: When fans criticized his choice to use exposed bones in a build of a giant dead worm, he simply presented this trope as his argument.
Character Catchphrase: "Awwww, yeah!"
Crazy Survivalist: His first reaction to seeing Moon Big was to come up with a conspiracy about the Big Eye Crew doing laser eye surgery on the moon, and then immediately making a bunker underground to hide away in.
Gratuitous Spanish: Starting from Season 8, he starts his videos intros by saying the current season's number in Spanish.
Those Two Guys: With Hypnotizd. They're definitely the more chill Hermits of the group and in Season 8 they decided to make their own marketplace, the Horse Head Farms together.
- With Keralis, They're a recurring duo who usually spend their time together playing games and taking on challenges for the spirit of competition.

The Alleged Boss: Type 2 and 4. Xisuma has been the server admin and de facto leader of the Hermits following the departure of series founder Generikb. However, he never plays any differently than the other Hermits and doesn't appear to exercise much authority over them aside from the occasional vetoing of potential bad ideas, such as a TNT shop Mumbo designed for Season 4 that would have featured a glass orb filled with TNT, liable to nuking the shopping district if struck by a single stray fire arrow or creeper explosion.
Animorphism: Downplayed, he often takes on the anthropomorphic form of new animals added in the latest updates. He's been a turtle for 1.13, a bee for 1.15, and an axolotl for 1.17/18. After reverting to human form in the final episode of Season 8, Xisuma revealed that at least his axolotl form was caused by Evil X's magic.
Deal with the Devil: In episode 1007, Xisuma, convinced that Evil X has redeemed himself, allowed Evil X to make all of X's shops for the season while he creates and supplies the farms.
Ditzy Genius: Is quite well known for this. Notable examples include him building a flying machine to flood a mycelium island and build a mooshroom farm, only to realize he's accidentally built it backwards.
Extreme Omnivore: His Bone Mage phase in Season 9 sees him nomming on bone meal.
Malaproper: Xisuma is rather infamous for "choochorial" (tutorial).
Only Known by Their Nickname: Almost every Hermit has a unique nickname for him. Nicknames include but not limited to Shishwammy (Keralis), X (ZombieCleo), See-soo-ma (Doc) and Ex-eye-zuma (Grian).
Pronouncing My Name for You: Xisuma prefers to pronounce his name "Is-su-ma", but very few other Hermits pronounce it this way. Alternate pronounciations include "Ex-u-ma", "Ex-i-su-ma" "See-soo-ma" and "Igs-u-ma". Some Hermits — like Keralis and Cleo — just use nicknames (see Only Known by Their Nickname). On the opposite end of that, after Xisuma poked fun at him for his pronounciation, Grian would make sure to stretch his name out over as many syllables as possible, resulting in abominations like "Egs-eye-suu-mah-vo-ee-ad".
Shout-Out: His default skin is modeled after Doomguy.

Ascetic Aesthetic: Zedaph's lab in Season 8.
Didn't Think This Through: During Season 9, Zedaph challenges Beef, Tango, and Xisuma to each bring him three items they think he doesn't yet have in his collection of everything, and for every correct guess they get a diamond from him, but must give a diamond for incorrect guesses. When Tango and Xisuma present mob heads from a datapack, Zedaph forfeits the diamonds since he failed to specify that he wasn't collecting those and he technically doesn't have them in his collection.
Ditzy Genius: Zedaph is good with redstone contraptions, but most aren't terribly... practical. For example, in Season 7, he constructed a furnace array powered by jumping on it.
Labcoat of Science and Medicine: Started his Season 8 with a skin change into him wearing a lab coat and safety goggles.
Mad Scientist: Zedaph is a more whimsical example in Season 8: inventing machines that complete tasks like shearing sheep and brewing potions in fun and creative ways, studying the AI of mobs and the minds of his fellow Hermits, and of course automating his villagers.
- Even before Season 8, Zedaph was the one who always aim to make the wackiest and least practical machines possible. In Season 6 he devoted a good chunk of his time figuring out sleeping mechanics in Minecraft. In Season 7 he boasted a Cave of Contraptions, filled with inventions such as a jump-powered furnace, or a bed that decided which side you would wake up on.
Paper-Thin Disguise: As Worm Man, a superhero from Season 5.
Self-Imposed Challenge: In Season 9, where he sets up "Zedvancements", such as collecting all music discs from a single Skeleton arrow or using leads to hang up every mob that can be hung from leads. In Season 10, he starts with his hotbar locked, so he can't use tools or place any blocks. invoked
Weaponized Teleportation: His Season 9 funnel gunnel, which exploits portals to condense a large wall of arrows into a smaller 3x3 space.

Deadpan Snarker: She wastes no breath making snarky comments to everyone on the server.
Friendly Rivalry: With Jevin during Season 9.
Insistent Terminology: Her Hive-Dr8 products are energy drinks, not candles, but even she forgets to call them such.
Marionette Master: While this can't exactly be used for PvP, ZombieCleo is famous for her Armor Stands skills.
Odd Friendship: With Joe. They're as opposite as can be, with Joe being rather pacifistic and Cleo constantly boasting about her bloodlust and taste in the macabre. However they always stick together as a duo and are best of friends.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: With ZloyXP from the Recap; it was at its peak during season 5.

TinfoilChef

IGN: TinfoilChef
Preferred name: TFC
First Joined: Season 2
Active Seasons: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

One of Hermitcraft's oldest members, and the closest thing the server had to an actual hermit. TFC was mostly known for his slower paced but deceptively good playstyle, preferring to dig massive tunnel systems instead of building megabases or doing collaborative things with the other Hermits.

TFC passed away on the 13th of August 2022 at age 63, making Season 9 the last season he'd participate in.

Achievements in Ignorance: Towards the end of Season 6, TFC was perhaps the only user to properly use the skin colorizer built by Mumbo post-Demise and not have it backfire in some capacity.
- During Demise, he managed to defuse a trap without realizing it was part of Demise.
Badass Normal: In addition to his fairly frugal, basic playstyle (see Boring, but Practical), for a period of time, TFC actually couldn't use Eltrya at all (most notably during Season 6), due to external factors. This did not stop him from being particularly dominant all the same, mostly since his playstyle would work just fine without one.
Boring, but Practical: TFC's playstyle didn't involve mega-bases, overly elaborate farms, major Redstone gadgets, diamond trading, or any of that; instead, he got by with sheer strip mining, using reliable tactics, and simply being good at the game once he had the materials for it. This, hilariously, usually lead to TFC being among the richest members of the server by a season's end, because he'd always have some steady income of diamonds by strip mining for everything else, and very little reason for him to actually spend it on anything when his bases and equipment hardly needed anything more than what strip mining could provide.
- TFC's demise performance in Season 6 was effectively based on this. Why bother laying traps for other hermits or build a dedicated Demise bunker when you already have a perfectly-operational Fallout-inspired bunker for a base, after all? The result of a whole season's worth of memorization of his base that's already fairly defensively designed is that every single trap was either spotted before it could be an issue, or flew over his head as something that was meant to be a trap. The only reason he lost was because he thought activating an obvious trap would lead to something funny.
Cool Old Guy: He was generally regarded as fairly cool and extremely respectable, and he was over 60, do the math.
Die Laughing: In Season 6's Demise, he lost after deliberately invoking a trap to see what was behind it. If the trope is any indiciation, he found it amusing.
Enmity with an Object: Deepslate. For someone whose playstyle hinged on strip mining, deepslate was a recurring issue for the simple fact it took longer to mine, making strip mining much more difficult than it would otherwise be. This did not stop him.
The Hermit: The straightest example seen to date, because for a group that calls themselves "Hermits", very few of them seem to actually follow that philosophy and are keen to frequently collaborate with one-another. TFC had the least amount of direct collabs by far, and in general seemed to prefer staying far from the mayhem and drama the other Hermits stir up.
Made of Iron: The real-life man had an improperly healed broken arm and had one of his legs amputated, and still lived for a remarkably long time, and was able to play Minecraft remarkably well to boot.
Tunnel King: In most seasons, besides building his base he would spend most of his time digging tunnels underneath the world to mine for resources. The best example for this was in Season 6, where by the season's end, he had fully dug from the shopping district all the way to Iskall and Stressmonster's Frozen Ocean bases.

Other Recurring Characters

Throughout the seasons the Hermits have invented several other "characters" that appear multiple times, whether for the purposes of serious roleplay and storytelling, or simply as Running Gag.

Carol the Zombie

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minecraftzombie_7399.png

First Appeared: Season 2
Featured Seasons: 2, 4, 5, 6

Hidden Heart of Gold: According to Cleo she has a heart occasionally when she eats them.
New Job as the Plot Demands: Has a new job every season. For example, she was the high priestess of Cleo's Temple during Season 5.

Evil X

First Appeared: Season 3
Featured Seasons: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8

Boss Battle: In Xisuma's Hermitcraft Episode 666.
Charm Person: Besides his power, Evil X's charisma allowed him to not only convince Xisuma to follow along with his plans under the guise of doing good for the server, but also other Hermits to become part of his Evil Emporium.
Corrupt Corporate Executive: His goal for Season 8 was to take over the Hermitcraft economy through the introduction of DerpCoin and other underhanded business practices.
A Day in the Limelight: Takes over Xisuma's Episode 736 of Hermitcraft.
Defeat Means Friendship: Becomes friends with Xisuma after Xisuma beats him.
Evil Counterpart: Was one to Xisuma before his Heel–Face Turn.
Greed: In Episode 1016, he says no matter how many diamonds he has, he'll never have enough.
Heel–Face Turn: Does one in Xisuma's Hermitcraft episode 666. Later subverted, as he pushes iJevin in a pool that kinda just makes him green instead of blue, with iJevin stating that he feels 'different' as a result, and returns on the Season 8 world on Episode 1006, with the intent to exploit instead of destroy. Which is to start a corporation with Xisuma which has its own currency, DerpCoin.
Hypno Ray: His signature power of Season 8 in the form of red electric currents. He used it to convince and control Xisuma to do his biddings.
Palette Swap: Is basically a red version of Xisuma. Averted in Season 8 where Xisuma is an anthropomorphic axolotl.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: He is Xisuma's evil version and has glowing red eyes.
Villain: Exit, Stage Left: When the growing moon Depowers him, and after a chat with Evil Beesuma in Hels Kitchen, he takes off with all the diamonds he and Xisuma made together, leaving all the DerpCoin to revert to their true, worthless forms.
Villainous Friendship: He's friends with Helsknight.

Grumbot

First Appeared: Season 7
Featured Seasons: 7, 9

Grumbot is a robot created by Grian and Mumbo Jumbo. Originally, his purpose was to make decisions and help Mumbo win the Season 7 mayoral race. When the day of voting came and Grian and Mumbo came to him for help, he had an existential crisis and broke down. After Mumbo lost the mayoral race, Grian and Mumbo built a fake reality around him in which Mumbo became mayor. Mumbo fixed Grumbot and he awoke to a world where his purpose in life was fulfilled. Grumbot remained happy for the rest of Season 7 up until Season 9.

Grian's mysterious rift brought another Grumbot into Hermitcraft, but this Grumbot is much different. "Grumbot Prime" claims that he's from an Alternate Timeline where Mumbo actually won the mayoral race. Like the Season 7 Grumbot, Grumbot Prime claims that his purpose is to make Mumbo Jumbo mayor of the server.

Artificial Intelligence: Grumbot is an artificial intelligence created through "redstone technology", designed by Mumbo.
The Cameo: He briefly appeared during Tango's space adventure in Season 8 as Grumbomb.
Caps Lock: He responds in capital letters.
Hive Mind: Grian mentions a "Grumbot hivemind" that transcends dimensions. It's implied that different Grumbots are able to share knowledge. For example, Grumbot couldn't provide Grian with any information about the world across the mysterious growing rift (which turns out to be the Empires SMP server) because that universe "didn't have a Grumbot". Once Grian and other hermits got trapped in Empires server, Grian made another Grumbot. Once activated, the Grumbot in Empires was able to create a link to the Grumbot in Hermitcraft Season 9 and allowed the Rift to open again.
Matrix Raining Code: Shown on the back of Grumbot's face.
Personality Chip: Being a sentient AI, Mumbo installed emotions into Grumbot; neutral, annoyance/anger (eyes sloped downward), sadness (eyes sloped upward), and happiness (lower eyelids curved up).
Port Manteau: Of Grian, Mumbo, and robot.
Single-Task Robot: Both Grumbots have the purpose of spewing out papers with "answers" in response to input. In Season 7, his papers give advice for what Mumbo should do to become mayor. In Season 9, his papers give prompts for 'content'.
TV Head Robot: His screen displays his eyes and mustache.

Grumbot

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2022_11_13_95540_pm.png

Grumbot (Season 7)

The Grumbot used in Season 7 to give Mumbo and Grian mayoral advice.

All for Nothing: At the end, Grumbot's efforts are negated. Mumbo gets zero votes. Grumbot's dads don't even vote for Mumbo.
Broken Record: When Grumbot is rewired by Iskall in support of Stress's mayoral campaign, he can only respond "GET GORGEOUS" (Stress's campaign slogan). He is eventually fixed.
Grew Beyond Their Programming: His intended purpose is to tell Mumbo and Grian what to do. He grows to form opinions (i.e. saying he is proud of Mumbo and Grian) and a worldview (i.e. seeing Mumbo and Grian as his fathers).
- When his wiring tampered by Iskall, he is reprogrammed to only spew support for Stress's campaign. Despite this, his expressions when saying "GET GORGEOUS" clearly show he does not want to say it.
Identity Breakdown: On the final day of the mayoral race, Mumbo and Grian tell Grumbot "it is vote day, HELP". This causes him an existential crisis. Papers overflow from his system where he asks philosophical and nonsensical questions like "What is my purpose?", "Am I loved, or used?", "What if it was all a dream?", "What is at the end of the tunnel?", and "What is this feeling in my chest?". Eventually, smoke comes out of his head and he repeats the same phrase "Goodbye dads" until he is broken.
Patchwork Kids: Grumbot shares Grian's hair fringe and Mumbo's mustache. In contrast, Grian's fringe is absent from Grumbot Prime.
Platonic Cave: Grian and Mumbo's artificial reality where Mumbo won the mayoral race. Grian and Mumbo lie to Grumbot about Mumbo winning. Mumbo also appears to him in a suit with a mayoral sash. Grumbot is given a fake backdrop of the shopping district for the rest of the season.

Grumbot Prime

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2022_11_13_95649_pm.png

Grumbot Prime (Season 9)

The Grumbot that traveled through Grian's rift into Season 9 of Hermitcraft.

Alternate Timeline: Grumbot Prime claims to be from an alternate timeline of Hermitcraft Season 7 where Mumbo became mayor. When Scar asks if he was a good mayor in Grumbot Prime's universe, Grumbot Prime states that Scar was the best for "five minutes". The specifics of what occurred in Grumbot Prime's timeline is unclear.
Art Evolution: Grumbot Prime is designed with Minecraft blocks that were not available in Hermitcraft Season 7, primarily aged copper, sculk blocks, and froglights.
Berserk Button: Do not put words in Grumbot's mouth. He does not like being spoken for, as shown when he gets angry at Grian for rigging his content generation to say "king, remove, claim".
Dimensional Traveler: He traveled from an alternate timeline of Season 7 into Season 9.
Figure It Out Yourself: Pretty much everything surrounding what happened in Grumbot Prime's Season 7 timeline. Grumbot Prime does not give a straight answer. He provides cryptic responses like "My Grian was sorry too" and "[Scar was] the best for five minutes" without further context.

Helsknight

First Appeared: Season 7
Featured Seasons: 7, 8

Helsknight is an evil clone of Welsknight, who was given form in the world through a cloning machine. He first appeared expressing interest in ruining Wels's life and burning down the Hermitcraft Server.

Battle Rapping: Has one with Welsknight in his debut episode.
Evil Counterpart: For Welsknight.
Palette Swap: A dark version of Welsknight.
Put on a Bus: He appears in the first episode of Season 8, declaring to have big plans of mayhem for the season, and is promptly never seen again.
Villainous Friendship: Is friends with Evil X.

HotGuy

First Appeared: Season 9
Featured Seasons: 9

Scar's Secret Identity, which is in his words, a washed-up 1980s superhero archer that retired into playing volleyball. This is often stylized as "hOt gUY", according to his bow.

Character Catchphrase: "Hawkeye!", then later "HotGuy!", usually shouted whenever he snipes someone with his bow.
Improbable Aiming Skills: According to Scar, the bow is said to hold magical powers that allows any user to have a near-perfect accuracy while shouting "Hawkeye!" or "HotGuy!" before sniping someone with it. The urge is stronger if an opposing player is on the edge of a high surface. In some cases, when flying in high velocity, the damage is greater as well.^Meaning
Loophole Abuse: In order to get back at Doc by placing thousands of chickens in the perimeter, Scar brings up the idenity of HotGuy in order to bypass the "no entry" sign that have banned Grian and Scar from in the first place, claiming HotGuy doesn't read signs.
Punny Name: "Hot Guy" sounds like 'Hawkeye', which is fitting for a shirtless superhero archer.
Shout-Out: Scar's outfit is a clear reference to the comic book super-archer Hawkeye. To keep it up with the joke, Scar used to shout "Hawkeye!" whatever he snipes someone with a bow, referencing Hawkeye as well.
Walking Shirtless Scene: The first appearance of HotGuy has him shirtless with a beige glove on his right hand. He eventually lets out his bust at one point when his Scarland suit was burnt for his initial HotGuy outfit before showcasing progress he did for his HQ.

Jeff the Minion

First Appeared: Season 1
Featured Seasons: 1, 8

The first-ever character in Hermitcraft. He was created by Pungence during season 1.

The Cameo: Has a few small cameos during Season 8 in the animated Evil X segments.

Poultry Man

First Appeared: Season 6
Featured Seasons: 6, 9
"Poultry Man Strikes again!"

Poultry Man is a mysterious superhero of the Hermitcraft server as well as Grian's Secret Identity.

Animal-Themed Superbeing: Poultry Man is themed after a chicken. His pranks usually consists of throwing eggs at members of the server.
I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Zig-zagged, but mostly played straight. Sally, a chicken Poultry Man had "liberated", was taken ransom by Team Star early in the Prank War in retaliation for the actions of Grian. Iskall and Stress went to save her, but the trap was intended to kill Sally and she died. Thus, Iskall and Stress replaced Sally and lied to Poultry Man, claiming the two saved her. And yet at the same meeting, the random generator for Sally said that she would die. And so they killed the fake Sally. At the end of it all, Poultry Man regrets not being able to save Sally himself, not knowing she was killed by Team Star.
Loophole Abuse: In order to get back at Doc by placing thousands of chickens in the perimeter, Grian brings back the idenity of Poultry Man in order to bypass the "no entry" sign that have banned Grian and Scar from in the first place.
Paper-Thin Disguise: This disguise consists of the brown hat and long jacket, with a chicken head being worn on the head. In Season 9, Grian only wore a chicken head for his Poultry Man disguise to bypass the "no entry" sign. There's the reason Grian would often say "It wasn't me, it was the man in the chicken costume!" in order to throw off suspicion.
Sent Into Hiding: After failing to prevent the Prank War, he goes into hiding.

Ren the Kid

First Appeared: Season 7
Featured Seasons: 7

The Empires Rulers

First Appeared: Season 9
Featured Seasons: 9

The members of the Empires SMP are real-life friends of many of the Hermits. The Empires Season 2 rulers were transported to Hermitcraft Season 9 through the Rift during a crossover event, after following the Hermits as they return to their home dimension.

The list of rulers involved in this part of the crossover include fWhip, MythicalSausage, TheOrionSound (Oli), Pixlriffs^note, Scott Smajor, Shubble (Shelby), SmallishBeans (Joel, who officially joins Hermitcraft in Season 10), and SolidarityGaming (Jimmy).

For more information about the rulers in their home world, please refer to this page.

Bookends: Invoked. When Pixlriffs joins Hermitcraft via the Rift, Grian calls for Impulse to play the intro of the "Hermitcraft Recap" which Pix usually narrates; when he leaves to return to Empires, he says the outro while walking up to the shrinking Rift before leaving.
Brought Down to Normal: The rulers of the Empires world carry all sorts of fantastic properties with them, from items with custom textures, to having superhuman abilities, to being of outright fantastic races. Considering that fWhip, a goblin on Empires, appears as human in the Hermitcraft world, this trope is presumed to be the case for all of the rulers.
Burn the Witch!: Alluded to when Oli, at one point, sets the ground around Shelby the Witch on fire. He is reprimanded on the spot for doing so.
Culture Clash: A fair number of the Empires rulers have difficulties adjusting to the scale at which Hermitcraft operates, from the wealth in resources of the Hermits and their corresponding Conspicuous Consumption (such as using Nether stars to decorate the Nether Hub like actual stars in the night sky), to the sheer size of many of the buildings alone.
Foreshadowing: When the Rift first starts opening in the Empires world, a couple of the rulers send some of their residents through the portal to Hermitcraft. Among them is an anthropomorphic fox villager from the Kingdom of Animalia, but while Grian is still investigating the Rift, there appears to be a normal Minecraft fox in the background. This foreshadows the Empires rulers being Brought Down to Normal when they themselves pass through the Rift.
Instant Costume Change: Much like the Hermits when they visited Empires, several of the Empires rulers experience appearance changes in the time frame of going through the Rift, from one server to another. For instance, Pix reverts to his default skin, fWhip inexplicably turns human, Sausage's entire outfit changes to that of his Empires Season 1 counterpart (and is granted kingship by Ren upon arrival), and several rulers' custom headgear disappear.
Leitmotif: Invoked; Grian's first reaction to Pixlriffs crossing over through the Rift is to call for Impulse to play the opening tune of the Hermitcraft Recap.
Pixlriffs: This week on Hermitcraft... me.
(Everyone else laughs)
Pixlriffs: That's right, folks! I made it!
Theme Naming: Pixlriffs' weapons and toolset are collectively named after quotes from the Hermitcraft Recap intro and puns relating to them: his sword is "This Week On Hermitcraft", his Fortune III and Silk Touch pickaxes are "This Pick On Hermitcraft" and "My Name Is Pickslriffs" respectively, his axe is "Our Writer is ZloyAxeP", and his bow is "Captions On This Bow Were Provided By Ly-Arrow".
Trapped in Another World: Explicitly defied. The Empires rulers and Hermits quickly take notice when the Rift on the Hermits' end starts shrinking, and rush for the rulers to leave before the Rift becomes completely inaccessible.
