==Overview==

Calip lives in a small cabin just east of [[Fort Hateno]]. He is a researcher who spends his nights patrolling back and forth in his home, analyzing ancient texts.{{Ref|''And since you asked, I'll inform you that I'm engaged in analyzing ancient texts. I haven't time for idle chitchat.'' - '''Calip'''}} He insists that [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] refer to him as Doctor Calip, instead of Mr. Calip, as he spent a good deal of his life studying to earn the degree. He often refers to himself in the third person, and thinks of himself as a bit more important than he really is.{{Ref|''HA! Let me guess... You caught wind of the great Dr. Calip's groundbreaking research and just HAD to meet him for yourself. Heh... No? Don't tell me you've never even HEARD of me! After I've dedicated my life to researching the ancient shrines?! *sigh* Well, you'd better remember my name, for it's not the last you'll hear of it! And while I'm at it, it's "DOCTOR Calip," if you please. I didn't study my rear end off to be called "Mr. Calip." Everyone forgets I'm a doctor for some reason...'' - '''Calip'''}}

Calip spends day and night working, so much so that he never gets time to see his family.{{Ref|''Soon, my long years of research will be revealed...and all the world will hail it as the discovery of the century! To prevent any undue attention, I haven't even told my family about my work. You understand, I'm sure.'' - '''Calip'''}} He is obsessed with his work that he hasn't even told his family about it. Calip will stay in his house overnight, waiting until 6am in the morning before heading out to do field research.{{Ref|''It's close... It HAS to be... Hmm, dawn is starting to break. Time for another day of field research.'' - '''Calip'''}}

On rainy days, Calip will remain in his house, as he is worried that the lightning gets attracted to his metallic glasses and it is a safety risk to be outside.{{Ref|''Today's research trip is on hold. My glasses are unfortunately metallic... In this weather, my life could be at risk!'' - '''Calip'''}}{{Ref|''I don't mind a little rain, but the lightning in Hyrule is alarmingly attracted to anything metallic. No, on days like this, it's best to shut oneself in and wait for the rain to clear. If you must go on gallivanting across the countryside, take care you don't get struck, at least.'' - '''Calip'''}}

During the daytime, Calip will travel east along the pathway and then up north to a small valley with a bunch of stone statues. He only works during the daytime as there are hordes of monsters that roam during the night.{{Ref|''I only do fieldwork at shrines and ruins during the day. Why, you ask? Hmmm, could it have something to do with the hordes of monsters roaming at night? What an ignoramus...'' - '''Calip'''}} Even so, if any enemies pop up, Calip will run away, screaming for help, even after Link has defeated the enemies in the area.{{Ref|''Help me! Heeeeelp meeeee! ...Oh, you're not a monster. You're just you. I thought you were one of these impertinent monsters for a moment... '' - '''Calip'''}} Link is able to accompany Calip during the daytime, but he tells Link to try to not get in the way.{{Ref|''You again? What not? You want to tag along on my fieldwork? Well, I suppose it might do you some good to see an expert at work. Just try to stay out of my way.'' - '''Calip'''}} Calip will occasionally go off on a tangent when talking about his work, even referencing a voodoo doll, before then backtracking, as he believes he is delving into matters too terrifying for the average person.{{Ref|''Don't go spreading this around, but I've made an interesting discovery in this ancient text. After cross-checking with a few other manuscripts, I've realized something about this cursed statue... It can only refer to a dreadful variety of doll with the ability to influence one's behavior! Ah, but my apologies. I'm delving into matters too terrifying for laymen.'' - '''Calip'''}}
