'''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 [[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.

ThornTail Hollow is the first area explored on 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.

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 Pods. Other plants include the Bomb Spore Plant and some Magic Plants. 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.

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.

The main enemies of ThornTail Hollow are Bloops and MushGuses. In parts of Fox's adventure, Snipluks and yellow SharpClaws are also featured.

History

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.

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.

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.

Fox must then meet the WarpStone, who complains he is not provided gifts anymore. If Fox has ten Scarabs, 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.
