HUGE HERMIT (Uber Rare Cat)

:This article is about the Cat Unit. For the enemy, see HUGE HERMIT (Enemy).
HUGE HERMIT is an Uber Rare Cat that was added in Version 4.3 and can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule during the Metal Slug Collaboration Event. True Form added in Version 13.1 increases health and gains Black targeting and Warp Immunity.
==Evolution==
Evolves into HUGE HERMIT CC at level 10.
Evolves into GOLDEN HUGE HERMIT CC at level 30 using Behemoth Stones and XP.
==Performance==
+ Strong against Alien enemies
+ Strong against Black and Alien enemies [True]
+ Immune to Warp [True]
===Pros===
*Fast attack rate and cooldown
*One knockback
===Cons===
*Mediocre health and DPS against non-target traits
*Low range
==Strategy/Usage==
HUGE HERMIT is entirely useless due to a combination of poor stats and weak abilities that completely eliminate its generalist value. Although its DPS seems high on paper, it is greatly hindered by its very low range. It rarely if ever gets to Aliens despite having only one knockback, and when it does, it's unlikely to do much damage before it gets destroyed. Aliens additionally tend to abuse various abilities, which HUGE HERMIT cannot meaningfully counter. Its long cooldown and high cost are also detrimental, as it can be difficult to replace when destroyed, and tends to be a waste of resources if you get the chance to send another. The chances of it seeing use are few and far between, and it's safe to say even other disposable attackers like Can Can Cat are able to outperform it easily.
===True Form===
GOLDEN HUGE HERMIT CC, despite its newfound abilities and immunities, isn't anymore useful. It absolutely does not have the required HP to efficiently tank massive swarms of aggressive Black threats that deal extreme damage to everything they touch when other specialists like Pizza already tear through them like paper, while its long recharge time prevents it from keeping up. The same can be said for Warp Immunity, as most Aliens with the ability either do too much damage for it to handle, or can be easily disposed of by accessible units. Combined with its surprisingly high cost, it's safe to say GOLDEN HUGE HERMIT CC just isn't worth the investment. Even when tanking enemies with Warp, units like Miter Saw Cat outclass GOLDEN HUGE HERMIT CC in every way.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: Takes the form of the infamous first boss of Metal Slug 3, the Huge Hermit. Appears in grayscale. It never uses its cannon to attack but its claws.
*Evolved Form: Now in full color.
*True Form: Now takes on the form of GOLDEN HUGE HERMIT, a special unit from Metal Slug Attack.
==Trivia==
*Unlike the original Huge Hermit, this one always has its cannon out, a trait only seen in Metal Slug Defense/Attack.
**The only other game it appears in is Metal Slug 3, and in there, the cannon is not shown and only revealed after dealing enough damage to Huge Hermit.
