I've seen eldritch Watcher Grian who got stranded on Hermitcraft and also got twisted beyond any player's nature into something morbid and need to re-learn how to be human again but
What about Pearl
What if she somehow glitched into the season 7 of Hermitcraft server, the upside-down mansion in the nether specifically. And her watcher abilities shift the terrain and made it so that when people walk inside the mansion they can actually walk upside down.
So to the person it seems fairly normal but to outsider it looks like the person is walking on the ceiling.
Bdubs being Bdubs, who was tasked to design the mansion's interior, see Pearl and her weird magic, has the impression that “Ah, must've been one of Grian's antic.” And proceed to befriend Pearl despite the language barrier between common and galactic
It is not In fact, Grian's doing.
Grian is also surprised when he see it. A bit panicked because obviously that is a watcher what is it doing here??
The longer time he spent with Pearl, the more she felt... Familiar to him. They can communicate thankfully, because Grian is also a Watcher.
Eventually Grian finds out the creature is Pearl, but before he could tell her about it the Watcher found him (through the crack Pearl made within their firewalls) and dragged him with a few other hermits to Third Life as punishment. (Turn out, sensing the magic of her tormentor help jogs the buried memory)
Safe to say when Grian come back Pearl didn't let him leave her nest.
This Is longer than I thought it would sorry

Is it alright if I put a backstory Hc in here? Well anyway Impulse is a demon and comes from a remote demonic village that got destroyed by the knights of a nearby kingdom and he was the only survivor, because this was when he was young, he got adopted out to a family of Angels. Skizz is his adopted brother and they met Tango and Zed in high school where they pushed a teacher to quit, stole some things from a convenient store, then accidentally (?) exploded something in the schools chem lab, in the span of a week.

All of the Hermits (save one) are willing to bite. Sometimes it's just what happens during PvP, sometimes they just get annoyed, some of them are Creatures for whose species this is normal behaviour.
Some Hermits have more dangerous bites than others. Ren's bites carry lycanthropy, but that's easily curable in the early stages. Doc's teeth can bite through anything, Joel's ogre fangs can leave a hole all the way through someone's arm, and Mumbo's bites might result in a bit of soul damage - but healing potions, regen, and respawn are a thing. It's not a big deal.
The one Hermit who doesn't bite? Cleo. A player who dies while infected with the zombie plague will both respawn AND hang around as a zombie. The universe does not like having two copies of the same person active on the same server at the same time. It causes all kinds of problems - problems which can be fixed, but which aren't easy to fix.
So, Cleo doesn't bite. It's tempting, but it's really not worth the hassle. (Or the angry yelling from a tired, frustrated Doc who has just had to delve into the depths of the server's code to remove the extra player copy without hurting the actual player.)

It’s no secret that many of the hermits are extremely powerful creatures. Players as old as the universe itself, sentient mobs, minor deities, beings made of the void, glitches in the code—they’re a dangerous and powerful bunch.
Despite this the hermits don’t strike most as dangerous or somebody to be feared (unless said hermit is Doc, anybody with half a mind would at least be cautious of him), they’re often underestimated because of their typically laid back and goofy attitudes and behaviour. Underestimating them and provoking them has never gone well for anybody.
Occasionally even the hermits forget that their companions are beings that could tear apart their code and permakill them in a blink of an eye. They remind each other of this fact through empty threats or allowing the magic keeping their appearance more ‘normal’ to slip. There have been competitions on the server before to determine who is the scariest, strongest, etc. The time between the competitions is spent trying to figure out how to best the previous winner, they’re competitive people! There’s no reason behind the competitions other than it’s fun and gives them an excuse to let loose and embrace what they are.

Vex have a lot of bat-like qualities, as the hermits have come to learn. Some examples include:
-cub frequently sleeps upside down
-scar gets zoomies (reaching speeds of 100 mph while flying)
-like many other communal player-hybrids, they can get VERY clingy with those they perceive as part of their colony
-they’re bitey :3

Pearl actually struggled quite a bit on season 9 with Bdubs’ sleep obsession due to needing moon energy to fuel up. On season 8 the moon was big so even in the day she was getting some residuals but with the normal moon in season nine only being out at night, she couldn’t get any when he kept skipping the night. This led to a lengthy discussion and negations of a schedule where she gets to be out all night twice a week.

Watchers all have Australian accents, hence 'the Downsideup'.
You might think this implies Pearl is a Watcher. You would be wrong, but it's a common joke she'll make.

I think Mumbo's closet isn't several identical suits, or several near identical suits.
I think he just has one, singular suit, one vest, one shirt, one tie, one pair of trousers, one pair of shoes.
When he's washing it all he stands around in his base in nothing but white, heart patterned shorts.

mumbo is some sort of eldritch creature that needs to consume souls for power. mob farms and suchlike usually provided him with enough energy to sustain his human form, to the point where he wasn't even aware that he wasn't human. turns out that he can only consume souls if he is DIRECTLY responsible for their deaths. placing fire near them doesn't count. so he lost control of his form until he nommed grian's soul.

Grian, being an avian, occasionally eats birdseed.
Just... Don't ask him where he gets it.
He definitely doesn't steal it from Scar, who has some lying around, being a zookeeper and all. No, no, he could never do that...

Grian collects siblings.
He has his two actual sisters, Gem and Pearl, and about half of the hermits are like siblings to him.
No one knows how it happens, but they all accept Grian with open arms.

Joe Hills. Joe fucking Hills. Where do I start? His staunch refusal to die? His staunch refusal to survive? His weirdly large presence? The way every change He makes a change to Himself seemingly over-writes your previous memory of how He looked? How He has access to pictures from so far away? How He sees things that have not happened, or will ever happen?
I am scared of saying His name again in case He sees me. I don’t have much time He’s a ————. It makes perfect sense. How He can do all those things He is a ————. Oh that felt great to type out.

None of the hermits have actual human blood running through their veins. Instead, they have other, more... questionable liquids pumped through their system- Pearl has moonshine, Tango has Red Gatorade, Zed has nuclear reactor pool water etc.
Impulse has coffee, Etho has maple syrup, Joe has neon green ink...

with Cub's newfound expertise with rockets, he found a way to use them (the ones that go boom) to increase his flight speed. he manages to use the boom as a boost, making him fly faster. Cub tried teaching Joe, but he still hasn't quite gotten it yet. he still gets hurt form the rockets often, but hes getting better by the day!
