Artwork of an Adventurer.
Adventurers are minor characters in Shovel Knight:Treasure Trove. 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 Streetpass Arena in the Nintendo 3DS version along with a Villager also titled Adventurer. The latter gives Shovel Knight's overall scores at the arena. The same horse adventurer can be found at the catapult in the third quadrant of the Valley in a game version with either Kratos or the Battletoads, and hints at the location of the Mysterious Map inside the Hall of Champions.
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.
Specter of Torment
Although not appearing in the story itself, a horse Adventurer can be found at the end of the Specter of Torment challenge Beeto's Big Break, hinting at how to solve this tricky challenge.

Trivia
- The Adventurer's sprite model is named "Tunic", but his color palettes are named "Horse Person".
- An adventurer in the Armor Outpost mentions having seen another knight with a shovel who was 'scary looking'. He may be referring to Black Knight, Polar Knight, or even the strange fish-headed character who looks similar to Shovel Knight and occasionally walks through the Armor Outpost.
