\n<\/div> \n \nThe **Hermit God** is an [event boss](\/wiki\/quest-monsters#event) that spawns once per realm. It has a guaranteed chance to drop a portal to the [Ocean Trench](\/wiki\/ocean-trench) and a very low chance to drop the [Helm of the Juggernaut](\/wiki\/helm-of-the-juggernaut).\n\nDo note that damage to the tentacles **do not** count towards soulbound damage for Hermit God. \n\nAs of Release X20.0, is reskinned as the [Hat God](\/wiki\/hat-god) during winter.\n\nAs of Release X.32.1.0, is reskinned as the [Reanimated Hermit God](\/wiki\/reanimated-hermit-god) during Halloween.\n\n{{template-realm-eye-lore\n| response=The Hermit God was a joint creation by Thessal and Oryx. Though the two would not typically consider each other allies, the agreement benefited both.
For Thessal, it protected her ocean from the sailors and fishermen who threatened her kind. For Oryx, it defended his mass shipments of liquor from pirates.
While the Royal Cnidarian surrounds the realm’s waters with impassable barriers of electricity, the Hermit God ensures no unapproved vessels can cross the seas.\n}}\n\n\n
