'''ThornTail Hollow''' is the first area explored on [[Sauria|Dinosaur Planet]] in ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''. It is the home of the [[ThornTail Tribe]] and the [[WarpStone]]. It is the area that Fox most often visits during the game, and it acts somewhat like a hub location.


'''ThornTail Hollow''' is a location on planet [[Sauria]] in ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''. In fact, it is the first area where [[Fox McCloud]] landed in his [[Arwing]].
== Description ==
ThornTail Hollow is a thriving, peaceful area filled with plants and has a water stream flowing through. It is also the natural habitat of the large Dumbledang Trees, which sprout [[Dumbledang Pod]]s. Other plants include the [[Bomb Spore Plant]] and some [[Magic Plant]]s. About four or five ThornTails appear around the location, and can be interacted with. They sometimes even provide advice to Fox. The WarpStone is located at the top-left region where he is surrounded by a circle of water.


ThornTail Hollow is home to the [[ThornTail]] Tribe, the [[Warp Stone]] and refuge to the [[Queen EarthWalker]].
A few areas are located from within ThornTail Hollow: the [[ThornTail Store]], which is run by the [[ShopKeeper]], a [[Staff Cavern]] with the [[Fire Blaster]] upgrade, and the [[#Ancient Well|Ancient Well]].


It is a valley with steep sides surrounded by thick evergreen trees. A small stream sweeps through it.
The main enemies of ThornTail Hollow are [[Bloop]]s and [[MushGus]]es. In parts of Fox's adventure, [[Snipluk]]s and yellow [[SharpClaw]]s are also featured.


Also, it is here where Fox finds the [[Krystal's Staff]], which is the main weapon in the game. Also its first upgrade is found here.
== History ==
[[File:ThornTail Hollow SharpClaws.png|thumb|left|200px|Fox fights some SharpClaws with his newly-acquired Staff.]]
ThornTail Hollow is one of the most frequently visited locations during Fox's adventure, and is somewhat of a hub world. The first thing that Fox must do is obtain his main weapon, [[Krystal's Staff]], which is located in between a circle of flowers, north of the [[Arwing]]'s landing spot. Fox must head just outside a stone structure, where he is confronted by four yellow SharpClaws. He must battle them with his newly-obtained Staff.


==Places of interest==
After Fox defeats the SharpClaws, a stone wheel moves aside and reveals a small rock, which leads down into a Staff Cavern. This is where Fox obtains the Fire Blaster upgrade. After exiting the cave, he must head back to the stone building and shoot a large Fire Panel.


*The [[ThornTail Store]] - Here Fox can buy items with [[Scarab]]s, the official currency of Sauria. It can be accessed by crossing the river from where the [[Bomb Spore Plant]] in the center of the Hollow is located.
After doing this, Fox meets the Queen EarthWalker, who tries telling him to head to [[Ice Mountain]]. Because Fox cannot understand her language, [[Slippy Toad]] helps translate her speech to Fox. After some discussion, the Queen EarthWalker lets out a call, and a ThornTail blocking the wall to the WarpStone moves out of the way. To blast open the wall, Fox must grow a Bomb Spore Plant and explode it.  


*The [[Warp Stone]] - He is a giant human statue without legs. He allows fox to travel to three different locations: [[Game Well Maze]], [[Ice Mountain]] and [[Krazoa Palace]]. To reach the area, Fox had to blow up a wall near the sleeping ThornTail with a [[Bomb Spore]].
Fox must then meet the WarpStone, who complains he is not provided gifts anymore. If Fox has ten [[Scarab]]s, he can purchase [[Rock Candy]] from the ThornTail Store and feed it to the WarpStone. After some discussion, the WarpStone allows Fox to warp to [[Ice Mountain]], where Fox must rescue [[Tricky]].


*The Queen´s Refuge - This is where the Queen EarthWalker is located, but it only opens after Fox clears the area of [[SharpClaw]]s, and then shooting a target with the [[Fire Blaster]].
After completing Ice Mountain, Fox and Tricky must head back to ThornTail Hollow and meet with the Queen EarthWalker. She is feeling sick and must be fed six [[White GrubTub Fungus|White GrubTub Fungi]] to feel better. By using the "Find Secret" [[Sidekick Command]], Fox tells Tricky to dig through a wall to the Ancient Well, where these fungi are located at.


*The Ancient Well - This place can be reached by walking to the left of the Queen´s Refuge, when looking it from the front.
== Locations ==
[[File:Ancient Well upper floor.png|thumb|200px|Fox on the upper floor of the Ancient Well.]]
=== Ancient Well ===
The Ancient Well is a dark pit located in ThornTail Hollow. It is inhabited by a lone [[ThornTail]] (otherwise known as "Crazy ThornTail"). He claims to have lived in the Well for 50 years. Fox must have a [[FireFly Lantern]] for the Crazy ThornTail to allow him in the deepest parts, where he can find the White GrubTub Fungi.


*Fox´s [[Arwing]] - This is the Arwing Fox used to transport himself through Sauria. It is located in the middle of the area.
A [[Staff Cavern]] is located on the upper floor of the well, and is where Fox can obtain the [[Rocket Boost]] [[Staff Upgrade]].


*The cave behind the Warp Stone - This is where the [[ThornTail|Mother ThornTail]] is located.
