Hermits are folks who don't live around other folks — and they like it that way. They never say I Just Want to Have Friends and they aren't afraid of Dying Alone. Hermits aren't banished or cut off from society as punishment — they willingly chose to leave it, for whatever reason.
Despite their reclusive lifestyle, fictional hermits may be either friendly or hostile. If a hermit is friendly, their reason for living alone will be that they simply enjoy the solitude. If the hermit is hostile, it's because they're misanthropic. On occasion, the hero will encounter a religious hermit.
Nice or not, almost all hermits are quirky. That's because Loners Are Freaks; they don't conform to society's rules about cleanliness, politeness, or footwear. Heck, they don't conform to society's standards at all. Hermits generally have a high tolerance to Going Mad from the Isolation, but they're not completely immune. See "quirkiness" above.
Most classic hermits tend to live in swamps, jungles, deserts, or caves; and are often shown to be Older Than Dirt. Modern hermits are more likely to live in cities or towns, but be highly, highly withdrawn, to the point of never interacting with the outside world. Hikikomori, Basement-Dweller, and the Reclusive Artist are some examples.
If a hero seeks out this person for guidance or training, chances are you're dealing with a Hermit Guru. Other times when a hero meets up with them on a journey, they may become a kind of one-person Wacky Wayside Tribe.
Self-Imposed Exile is another common reason for becoming The Hermit. Unlike other examples of The Exile, where exile is punishment, this hermit is choosing exile for themselves because they feel they must. Sometimes their continued freedom or survival depends on it. It may be a form of living Off the Grid.
Use caution when adding examples from Eastern media — "hermit" is a popular translation for the Chinese xian and Japanese sennin, but not all xian/sennin embody this trope.
Compare The Aloner, for whom social isolation is a terrible punishment, and those Sent Into Hiding. Contrast Hates Being Alone, for when a character really doesn't want to be isolated from others. See I Work Alone for when they don't rely on others. If they're also a magic user, you have a Solitary Sorceress.

Noob: The Ashentäk Oracle had to leave the city to settle in the Ashentäk Bubblegloop Swamp, due to being a Blessed with Suck Seer who would get regularly harassed. She's aware that whoever goes though the trouble of paying her a visit must really need her help, so she's as good a hostess as living in a half-sunken castle can permit her.

K: Adolf K. Weismann took off in a blimp after his experiment ended up accidentally making him immortal. He lives up in the sky alone for decades until... plot comes along. He's not ill-adjusted to being around others, though — he is actually incredibly charming, though a lot of that may be due to the fake memories.

"The Mad Hermit of Chimney Butte", an episode of Walt Disney Presents. Donald Duck is the titular hermit, who got tired of living near people and moved further and further away from civilization, eventually ending up in a remote desert butte, shooting at anyone who comes near. The episode ends with the butte being destroyed during an atomic bomb test; fortunately, Donald survived and decided that being around people wasn't so bad after all.

Stardew Valley:
Linus is an old man who made the conscious decision to live in a tent by the lake in the mountains near Robin's house, living off wild forage (and leftovers fished out of people's garbage cans). He's something of an outcast among the other villagers, but if the player befriends him he'll teach them a few cooking recipes, and how to make Wild Bait for fishing.
Patch 1.5 introduced Birdie, an old woman living alone in a hut on Ginger Island, she survives by fishing and foraging wild fruits and vegetables. She gives a Chain of Deals quest that concludes with the player giving her a locket that belonged to her late pirate husband.

Les Voyageurs Sans Souci: Sébastian and Agathe must talk to a hermit who lives in a cave on a mountainside to find Golden Eagle. Agathe's idea of a hermit is "a very old long-bearded man who wears a hood and black robes, and lives alone in a cave because he has been hurt by people or wants to meditate over his griefs without being disturbed." When they meet him, though, he is a blonde, blue-eyed -filthy- man who suffers from unrequited love and is seventeen at most.

RWBY: In the Remnant fairytale, the Story of the Seasons, The Old Wizard lived in an isolated cabin in the middle of a forest. He received no visitors and hadn't even left the house to step outside in centuries when the four heroic sisters encountered him. Through their compassion and persistence, they encouraged him to accept their presence, their help and to even step into the sunlight, transforming his life for the better. In return, he rewarded them with his magical powers so they could use them to help humanity. Volume 5 confirms he is a previous incarnation of Professor Ozpin, and Volume 6 heavily implies the Old Wizard was reeling from a terrible tragedy; Ozpin demonstrates that he still retains that trauma response when the heroes' discovery of the secret he's been keeping about Salem causes him to emotionally collapse and isolate himself in the back of Oscar's mind; he doesn't recover enough to return until the very end of Volume 7.

Discworld: Snuff introduces a hermit who lives on Sybil's countryside property, because apparently having a hermit on one's land was once fashionable among the nobility and they like to keep up traditions.

In Green Angel, Green becomes a non-religious hermit out of grief at her family's deaths. Over the books she lives largely alone except for her dog; the boy Diamond stays for a while due to heavy face burns, and they fall in love until he leaves to search for his mother. In the second book, she's less of a hermit since people come to her to tell their stories, and it takes the end of the book for Green to finally start living with Diamond and his mother.

Egypt on Anur Khufos: Elias Amsude. Working as a journalist in Giza for nearly 15 years, he's grown bored with modern Egyptian life and wishes more for what the country was like thousands of years ago, and as such he lives under one of the smaller pyramids in a makeshift underground apartment. He's actually a Thep Khufan scribe named Elastamun, who was stationed on Earth to research humans while disguised as one. By the time the story starts, he's called back to his homeworld Anur Khufos by his master, because since he was away, their species had started dying from a mysterious plague while under the rule of a ruthless pharaoh.

In The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World, the four are sent by the Circle to speak to a hermit in a cold piney woods about the whereabouts of a piece of the Nine-part Key. They're warned that he may not be too friendly, that he may be guarded, and that he may require some kind of service done for him before he will make with the information. What they're not warned about is that there is no hermit, just an empty cave and an ambush by the Circle.

Don't Keep Your Distance: Morris the Iguana left the big city he was from on his motorcycle out of grief when a friend died and drove mindlessly into the forest, eventually happening upon the village Sunny Clearing and deciding to start a new life there when the locals took him in. Quickly, however, he realized he didn't much get along with them owing to their closed-minded mentality, but he does participate in communal activities anyway, it being only fair. One of these activities, a search for food in the woods, was when he found the protagonist, Paint, as a helpless infant.

A mad hermit features as part of the Nature of the Beast questline. The player character must either seek his help to reach the centre of the Brecilian forest or retrieve an acorn from him for a poetic sylvan. He is also a powerful blood mage who once occupied a tower raised from the ground with magic.

Pathfinder:
Bronze dragons are the least sociable of the metallics and prefer to spend their time alone with their books and research, often spending years or decades at a time holed up in seclusion before being forced to return to society to acquire new reading material.
The Golarion setting has Eziah, an archmage so reclusive he built a magically shielded Mage Tower that floats within the sun.

RWBY: Fairy Tales of Remnant:
The Warrior in the Woods: The Warrior lives alone in the deep forest. Not only does she avoid the village, she doesn't even want them to know she exists. She eventually tells the hero that her home was massacred, and she's been living alone ever since.
The Story of the Seasons: The Old Wizard lives in an isolated cabin in the middle of a forest. He receives no visitors and hasn't even left the house to step outside in centuries when the four sisters encounter him. Through their compassion and persistence, they encourage him to accept their presence, their help and to even step into the sunlight, transforming his life for the better. The Old Wizard is one of Professor Ozpin's previous incarnations, something he confirms in Volume 5 of the main show.

Nursery Crime: The Quangle-Wangle is a notoriously reclusive figure, specifically the type of extremely rich person who avoids contact with society at large. An in-universe joke goes that, when recluses meet up, they remark on how nobody's seen the Quangle-Wangle of late. As it turns out, the reclusiveness is due to his having been killed some time before the books.

The Walking Dead (2010): It's no big surprise that he would enjoy being alone, but the circumstances at hand make it tragic. Daryl Dixon becomes a hermit in Season 9 Episode 5. After Rick Grimes blows up the bridge the communities were building to destroy a massive walker herd and seemingly sacrificed himself, Daryl cried over the loss of his "brother". He then silently realizes that his and Maggie's actions trying to kill Negan ended up getting Rick "killed" instead. As a result, Daryl walks off alone and lived in the woods for six long years. In the six years he spent in the woods, Daryl desperately tried to find Rick's body or evidence of survival for closure. At some point he did find a dog he simply called "Dog" who he trained and kept around for company. However, it can be presumed that Daryl spent a vast majority of the six years living in the woods completely by himself. Downplayed because he encountered Michonne looking for Rick's body on the riverbank about eight months after Rick blew up the bridge. Later on the next day, he helps her find Judith and the other missing children who were kidnapped by Michonne's old friend Jocelyn and her group. It is also subverted partially because Daryl told Carol where to find him if she wanted to see him. However, dialogue between Henry and Daryl suggest that Carol hasn't seen much of Daryl after the bridge explosion. As such, Daryl spent many years completely cut off from his allies who cared about him.

After the Revolution: Roland starts the book living as an amnesiac hermit living on a mountain in the now-mostly abandoned former state of Arizona, getting high and trying not to indulge his 'kill people, get pleasure' implants. He knows part of his memories are missing and that he probably still has former friends and lovers out there somewhere, but he has little to no motivation to try to reconnect with any of them. After going through the events of the book, recovering much of his memories and then promptly losing them again, Roland goes back to his mountain and abandons all the connections he made through the book.

In this fantasy, Eric becomes a hermit living alone purifying and re-drinking his own urine, having changed his name to Plays-With-Squirrels. He wrote an immense manifesto (claiming that every hermit has one), which includes a thousand blank pages and only one with writing on it- "Lose one friend, lose all friends, lose yourself."

Shrek: The titular character is firmly this for much of the film. He hates that people tend to judge him before they properly know him, which is why he feels he's better off being on his own. Of course, this attitude is dropped by the end of the film when he befriends Donkey and realizes he's in love with Fiona.

In Kult: Heretic Kingdoms, one of Alita's tasks is to track down a hermit who lives in the woods, as a favour to the forest's guardian. He's found, but only as a ghost. Since he's a religious hermit, and Alita's job is to enforce a ban on religion, their interaction is a bit rocky, but the hermit's new posthumous status makes their debate purely academic.

However, she is also tasked with aiding people with her wisdom, so she's not a complete recluse. Though called an Evil Hermit, Seiga Kaku is not much for isolation (what with masterminding religious takeovers and living with a zombie).

Rarity's attempt to invite him to the Summer Sun Celebration doesn't go to well, because he doesn't think that anypony—aside from Rarity—will accept him, plus he feels like Rarity is "bossing him around". He hasn't even had contact with any other dragons, either.

To that end, she has lived in a tiny cell for most of her life, with most of her time given over to copying scripture or offering spiritual guidance to the occasional visitor. Extraordinary circumstances force her to break her vow, come out of her cell, and mingle with the other nuns of Linbarrow Abbey, causing her immense discomfort.

In Sirena, the titular mermaid and her nine sisters commit an Accidental Murder of two ships full of men while trying to seduce them. Sirena is determined not to kill another man, so she travels to the Deserted Island of Lemnos, planning to live out her days alone in the nearby waters. Her time as a hermit ends when the human Philoctetes is abandoned on Lemnos by his fellow sailors.

The Legend of Spyro:
The Chronicler has been living on the White Isle in solitude for over a thousand years, until Spyro and Sparx, and eventually Ignitus, come along.
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon: While exploring Avalar, Spyro and Cynder encounter an old cheetah hermit who lives alone in the wilderness rather than among the other cheetahs in the village. His time alone is shown to have taken a toll on him, as while he's wise and well-informed he's also a touch deranged and his advice is couched in taunts and ominous implications and punctuated by bursts of cackling.

My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected: Because of his terrible social experiences before high school, Hachiman Hikigaya became the embodiment of this trope in the series, a loner who doesn't want nor care interact with other people, or at least at the beginning of the story.

Uchu Sentai Kyuranger: Stinger/Sasori Orange prefers solitude as he doesn't want to associate with anyone. Dark and Troubled Past is major cause for this. He can be roughly kind under the right circumstances.

Empires SMP Season 2: False mostly remains distant from other rulers instead of building up friendly relations with them, though she still conducts trade with other rulers on occasion. It turns out to be a Literal Metaphor when the Hermitcraft crossover reveals she was originally from that server herself, making her an ex-Hermit who fits the trope archetype of the Hermit.
