History

Densetsu no Starfy

In Densetsu no Starfy, he is first seen in Lobber's Cave wearing an ordinary gray shell. Herman asks Starfy to find a missing teapot and a rainbow horn item. After finding the teapot, Herman gives Starfy a key leading to another part of the level, where Starfy finds the other item. After finding both the teapot and the rainbow horn, Herman teaches Starfy how to use the Star Spin attack. Later, Starfy finds a colorful rainbow shell and gives it to Herman. Herman is very grateful for Starfy and leads Starfy to the next stage, Coral Reef.

The Legendary Starfy

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.

Side Quest No. 1: Herman's 5 Red Pearls

Herman appears again in the "Herman's 5 Red Pearls" 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 Pearls to buy 'high-class fishie food' for his Coddies. Finding the 5 Red Pearls grants Starfy access to Area Secret 1.

Side Quest No. 2: Race with Fork

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.

Trivia

  • 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.
    • 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.
