It is found upon going around the mountain of the Waterfall Cave and is home to a single old man.

Story

The Hero and his party visit the old man of Waterfall Hut several times throughout their quest, with the first visit involving the retrieval of his missing toolbag by a red tree east of Farebury. Afterwards, he takes notice of Munchie stating that he's no ordinary mouse and will give The Hero a portion of Cheese from time to time.

• The Hermit living in the hut is a Dragovian. When first met he hints to know what (and who) Munchie is. This is why he continuously offers several pieces of Cheese to the Hero. If the Hero returns to his hut after Munchie identity is revealed an extra cutscene will play where he outright confirms he knew Chen Mui's identity, and in a post cutscene dialogue he addresses himself as a Dragovian.
