Spike

Spike is one of the first characters introduced in the game Herdy Gerdy.

Appearance
Spike is a young kid, as he's stated himself that he's only 12 years old. He wears a large hat that covers his eyes and baggy clothing. His hair is orange colored and he's always grinning.

Character
From the begining, he appears to be very outgoing and setting big goals and dreams for himself in the future. He prides himself for his herding skills and even shows Gerdy the Doops he's pinned all by himself, putting emphasis on how young he is. His pride turns into gloating calling himself the "Greatest Shepherd that ever lived". He has laughed at others who cannot match up to his skill as well.

Challenge Run
After entering into the Elven Woods, a challenge level will open up back at Gerdy's Hut. If Gerdy goes back home at this point, he'll see Spike toppled over near an empty Doop pen. The Doops that he herded at the begining of the game were suddenly let loose because he didn't shut the pen door properly. Gerdy will offer Spike to herd the Doops back into the pen for him, noting that he's been taught by Yggdrasil. Spike will then challenge him to beat his time on the level (1:30). Seven of the doops will be set off in one part of the level and the other eight are near the waterfall.
