Adventurers are minor characters in Shovel Knight. They usually wander the Village and Armor Outpost but can also be found in other stages.
Appearance
Adventurers appear as bipedal male horses wearing clothing, although a single human one appears in the Streetpass Arena.
Story
Shovel of Hope
In Shovel of Hope, Adventurers can be seen around the Village and Armor Outpost. One can be found at the Knuckler's Quarry, hinting on using the Dust Knuckles to clear the stage. Another can be found at the catapult in the third quadrant of the Valley in a game version with either Kratos or the Battletoads.
In the ending, two adventurers can be seen accompanying Mole Knight in his expeditions to find treasures in the Lost City.
Plague of Shadows
In Plague of Shadows, Adventurers are only seen around the Village, but Plague Knight scares them away and cannot talk to them. One can also be seen aboard the Aerial Anvil, upon leaving the Armor Outpost invaded by Plague Knight and his minions.
