    In the Secret of monkey island Guysbrush, (while trying to find Monkey Island) comes across the old captain of his ship's journal, and describes the events of Herman Toothrot and his friend while they search for Monkey Island.
    When Guybrush lands on monkey island, with the help of a cannon, strange man introduces himself as Herman Toothrot, however with his head stuck in the sand Guybrush cannot reply, and he leaves.
    Herman is a strange old Hermit who refuses to wear pants.
    When exploring the island Guybrush comes face to face with him a few times, mostly just spouting useless information. However he does reveal how his ship "The Sea Monkey" made it back to Melee island, he had trained Monkey's to sail it back, however he refused to join them on the ship as he could not stand any amount of time on a ship with a crew of monkey's.

    His appearance in the next game is very much the same, however he appears on Dinky island, at first this is not explaines but it is revealed that there is an underground tunnel between Monkey Island and Dinky Island. In this game he is a teacher of Philosophy.
