Cat
Evolves into HUGE HERMIT CC at level 10.
Pros
- Strong against Aliens.
- Fast recharge time for an Uber Rare.
- Fast attack rate.
- Outstanding DPS for its cost.
- Only knocked back when killed.
Cons
- Extremely short range.
- Slow movement speed.
Strategies/Usage
- This unit can be used as a replacement for Titan Cat or Whale Cat when facing Alien enemies, due to its increased effectiveness against them. Be wary when you use it for any other enemy, as it has very low range and can be quickly overwhelmed.
- This stands alongside Lesser Demon Cat as one of the only truly melee range heavy damage dealing Uber Rares, therefore levels are very important. It can attain 13k+ DPS, and 20k+ DPS against aliens when hypermaxed!

- 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.
