From what I translated, Herman was in despair that he lost his "home." He didn't ask him to find the teapot and tusk shell, as he threw them away, found in the next stage.</p>

'''Herman''' (''Yadokarita'') is a hermit crab who lends advice to [[Starfy]] and also puts him through special mini-games. He wears a colorful rainbow shell and he is the big brother to [[Herbert]]. He has pets named [[Coddies]] which he loves and cares for. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===''Densetsu no Starfy''===<br />
In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'', he is first seen in [[Lobber's Cave]] wearing an ordinary gray shell. Herman asks Starfy to find his missing home [his conch shell]. After finding a teapot, Herman, believing it may have been washed further, gives Starfy a key leading to another part of the level, where Starfy finds a tusk shell. After finding the tusk shell, Herman - who finds the shell too small - thinks that it is behind the rocks. He then teaches Starfy how to use the [[Star Spin]] attack. Later, Starfy finds the colorful conch shell and returns it to Herman. Herman is very grateful for Starfy and leads Starfy to the next stage, [[Coral Reef]].<br />
<br />
===''The Legendary Starfy''===<br />
In ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', Herman first appears in [[Gluglug Lagoon]] (Stage 1-2: 'Star Spin') where he asks for Starfy's help in saving his 10 of his [[Coddies]] who have been swallowed alive by a [[Goblup]]. Herman tagged the Goblup with a tracker, so that Starfy can easily find it. By using his Star Spin attack, Starfy manages to free all of the Coddies and return them to a grateful Herman safely. Herman then tells Starfy the whereabouts of [[Big Squiddy]] and [[Bunston]].<br />
====Side Quest No. 1: Herman's 5 Red Pearls====<br />
Herman appears again in the "Herman's 5 Red Pearls" [[Side Quests|Side Quest]] found in Stage 1-2. This is the first Side Quest found in the game. In this Side Quest, Herman has lost 5 precious Red Pearls and Starfy must help Herman to find the [[Pearl]]s to buy 'high-class fishie food' for his [[Coddies]]. Finding the 5 Red Pearls grants Starfy access to [[??? (levels)|Area Secret 1]].<br />
====Side Quest No. 2: Race with Fork====<br />
Herman also appears in the "Race with Fork" Side Quest found in Stage 1-3: 'Mysterious Powers'. In Race with Fork, Herman asks Starfy to challenge [[Fork]] and beat him in a race. Winning the race has Fork grant the player access to Area Secret 2. <br />

==Trivia==<br />
*The journal entries for Side Quests No. 17 "Juggle This" and No. 18 "Gliding By" in ''The Legendary Starfy'' refer to Herman and have descriptions "Looks like Herman can't get enough juggling! Can you beat his record?" and "Use your Glide ability to beat Herman's jumping record" respectively, even though [[Herbert]] was the one who set these Side Quests and not Herman.<br />
**The game never implies in the actual Side Quests themselves that the player has to beat Herman's records or set these records from the requests of Herman rather than Herbert, so this might be an oversight from the game developers.<br />
