Yerbal

Yerbal

Race	Kikwi
Gender	Male
Games	Skyward Sword
Location	Faron Woods

		His name is Yerbal. He is a hermit of the herbivorous Kikwi race. He climbed a tree and never came down, thus becoming a hermit.

Yerbal is Kikwi hermit who sleeps atop the Great Tree in Skyward Sword. Link meets him while he searches for Farore's Flame. To wake Yerbal from his sleep, Link must hit him with any projectile weapon he has in his possession. Once awake and able to speak, Yerbal will direct Link towards Faron, the Water Dragon who resides at the bottom of Lake Hylia.

Humorously, when Link meets Faron, she announces that she will eat Yerbal for divulging her location. However, Yerbal remains very much alive for the rest of the game.

I watch over this forest here...when I'm not nappin'. I don't know how you wandered all the way up here, but let me ask you something... Can you really see me?

   Sure can. :Nope." — Yerbal, Skyward Sword.

That's the last straw. Next time I see him, he's dinner! Oh, but I digress. You've come here seeking a sacred flame, have you?

   Of course! :I forget..." — Faron, Skyward Sword.
