Hermitcraft Species Headcanons 2026!

Results will be crunched and published by @the-blaze-empress on tumblr at an arbitrary time <3 Feel free to share around! This survey is dir

Life Series Species Headcanons 2026!

Changelog under the cut

Date change - I do not intend to run this every 6 months! This was the time I wanted to run the survey in 2025, but life got in the way and i was unable to. from now on, these two surveys should run about this time every year

Hermitcraft species options - any option that got fewer than 5 votes on the last survey was nixed, and anything with 5 or more votes was added! mostly. Xisuma gets to keep all his skin animals, and doc was condensed a little for clarity. everyone keeps human and human to the left regardless of their votes

Life Series species options - those who are part of hermitcraft were just copied over verbatim, while others were compiled over time from common depictions I've seen. I may well be missing things!

Empires survey? - no. i dont go there sorry. feel free to do it yourself i guess

rattlesnake scar? rattlesnake scar... he has long fangs and his lower body is..snake.. i have no evidence to back this up you just have to trust

guy who makes it very clear when he's gonna attack

[nontypicalnonhumanhermits]

fae etho,,, he's a lil bit different and a lil bit strange and i'd bet his teeth are sharp under the mask and he's got this even-tempered-ness that holds out way longer than it would for normal people and decked out loved him so much and he's been around for Forever and just. trust me okay he's so faething

fairy food (spider eyes) /j

But yes! Guy who's just slightly off <3

I propose Warden Pearl based on her having a skulk lab in season 9, and her being the premier warden wrangler in Decked Out 2. She would constantly be joking around with the wardens like they were old friends so maybe they are!

she hear storage that bad...

[nontypicalnonhumanhermits]

I have too many Gem species HCs, so Chimera!Gem :)

she would love that i think... imagining her highlighting different features depending on her aesthetics that season

False is just some sort of creature. The specifics of her species is not really known, not even she herself knows much about what she is.

She heals abnormally fast. Aside from scars that date back to years before joining Hermitcraft (Did she mention she was probably immortal too? No? There you go!), every injury is gone within a minute. She's startled a few hermits by accident when she gets point-blank blasted by a creeper and casually stands up and reforms as if nothing happened.

Her movement is another thing. Most of the time she's walking normally. But then there are the times where she seems to clip through things, or her jump height feels abnormally higher than usual. No one can put a finger on what's wrong before its back to normal.

She's currently just classified as a void being since she can last in there and has shown an interesting ability to be able to maneuver deep in the void with no known repercussions. Although everyone's sure void beings cannot do... whatever she's doing.

everyone watches as she double jumps and hits her head /j

Listen, i understand the void being hypothesis. Always trying to get back to there

Pearl is actually a glitch. X looked at her code at some point and it was… upside down? Generally she’s fine but sometimes she crashes or her ping is unbearable. Other hermits have to help her on days where it takes five full seconds for the block she broke to drop and another five for her to pick it up. She gets lag sickness more often than anyone, which is why her picking up redstone (a known stressor for chronic lag) was a bit concerning. She responds to things people said a little too slow, meaning she gets spoken over enough in group settings that she gets frustrated even when it isn’t anyone’s fault.

She’s one of last people the server with an elytra because if you think the game doesn’t respond well to a glitch, you should see it try to deal with a glitch that’s flying at high speeds. It rubberbands her, ignores her rockets, tries to get her to crash. She swears that mountain came out of nowhere, that the game rendered it just in time for her to break her body on it.

the true cause of the boatem lag... jokes aside i do love treating game mechanics as actual physical things that happen to cubitos, so her being one is cool

dog skizz or werewolf skizz. propaganda; have you seen him. have you seen him. he's literally like an excitable large dog to me. type of guy to stare at you with the biggest puppy dog eyes to beg for something. i don't have to write propaganda because if you watch 2 seconds of any of his content you will understand

kinda guy to have one upright ear and one folded one. like so

Creaking False. She's got her own heart block but she pretty much only uses it to spook new hermits or free lighting in the dark. Also she's a bit slower in the day but it doesn't really bother her now / she's gotten used to it

And she freezes up when you look at her! Nature is beautiful

peryton welsknight ..... weird silly creature for a weird silly knight. :) theyre crosses between stags and birds!! he has antlers and wings and a silly deer tail to me

(and if we can add empires here-- rivendell!scott is ALSO a peryton!! they can be friends :))

Ohh that's a cool creature! I imagine sleeping as long as wels tends to with both antlers And wings would be uncomfortable, but i believe in him. He could pull it off

You can add empires here! I imagine scott combined with an animal as boastful as some birds can be would make him worse, especially with how cool antlers are. I support this

inspired by @apollos-boyfriend and its DSMP and QSMP species surveys, i've decided to run a hermitcraft species survey! i'm so interested to see the fandom's opinions ESPECIALLY with the series format of hermitcraft! ideally i would have run this before s11 started but i just was not able to get things together in time. i'll be keeping this open for a month (unless i get way too many responses to crunch), so go wild, share it around, and have fun!

Hermitcraft Species Headcanons!

Results will be crunched and published by @the-blaze-empress on tumblr at an arbitrary time <3 Feel free to share around! This survey is dir
