#hollow knight enemy

Seeing how much I liked the worm-scorpion enemy's attempted animation, I decided to refine it a bit.

Hi, Dewi!

Bug Fact: Red light is generally the least attractive to insects at night. (ie. Dewi taped some red tape on his flashlight to not scare the bugs)

Soul Sanctum! Soul Twisters are the bane of my existence, right behind Primal Aspids and those flying assholes in Crystal Peak.

Most of HK’s most annoying enemies are the flying ones, because they’re good at getting out of the way of your shit by teleporting or flying backwards, and or they have subtle telegraphs for their attacks, while those same attacks blend in fantastically with the background (I can not even begin to describe my visceral hatred for the flying crystal shits).

Every January-February we come back to Hollow Knight and write very self-indulgent RPs

Here's old doodles PK from random scenes in unrelated threads.

Name: Menderbug

Debut: Hollow Knight

It is Friday the 13th... how frightful! Like, what if you see a ladder or a cat? Would that be scary or what? Jeepers. This post, though, is about something lucky! A lovely little guy who, if the odds are in the favor, you may get to witness for yourself!

Hollow Knight has destructible decorative setpieces out the wazoo. All over the place. But one of the very first ones you encounter, the signpost right at the entrance to the Forgotten Crossroads, is different... yes, all the scenery respawns when you leave and come back, but here, you might get to see the culprit! A humble little bug who has appeared with his little bug toolbox, fixing the signpost that you broke. What in the world? Why does he do this? What the fresh hell is going on here?! Sheesh! Calm down! It's his job! And he loves it!

If he sees you, Menderbug will get scared and fly away, with his teensy little wings. Perhaps you are expecting me to discuss what actual bug he is based on, but he's really just the sort of generic default Bug that many minor characters and enemies are in this game. And that's just fine! He is very cute. But I won't let you leave without some Bug Fact's! Though he does not look like one, the idea of an bug that builds makes me think of the horribly underappreciated webspinner! This is an insect whose front feet excrete silk, which it uses to weave its entire home, all by itself! It's not really that similar to Menderbug, but I would like you to know about them. If you didn't know about them, then it looks like this is your lucky day!

But Menderbug may not always be so lucky... unfortunately, he is killable. He is just a shy little guy who loves to fix his sign, but if you really want to, you can leave and return until he respawns by chance, and take the opportunity to kill him. And there is really no reason to do it! If you kill him, you get a little description in the Hunter's Journal (which does not count toward any completion or achievements, by the way), and access to his house, where you can read his diary. Will you do it? Will you kill this guy so you can go in his house and learn about his life that you ended yourself? Monster.

There is something lucky for Menderbug, though! It is called "internet", and it lets us learn all we need to about him without killing him! We can learn that he LOVES fixing the sign, and in fact, likes for it to break, because it means he gets to fix it more and hone his craft! We can learn that there is a certain Mender Berri who he is trying to muster the courage to tell how he truly feels... ooh la la! And best of all, we can learn that he loves what he does, he loves his life, and he feels he must be the happiest bug in all the land. This is really one of the most delightful little fellows there is, and we should try our best to be like him in real life!

Do you ever think about how almost all of hollow knight is genuinely horrifying actually?

The infection, the fact that whatever Hallownest was is Long gone, the concept of the city locking it's gates forever and the slow, horrific consequences thereof. Abyss *exists??* The handful of bugs that haven't lost their mind probably go weeks or months without seeing anyone else, with the exception of the bugs in Dirtmouth. Deepnest is like, at least 60% corpses. Most places have at least a few corpses. Hell, they fall from the fucking sky in Kingdom's Edge.

I think the art style and the fact that the player character doesn't acknowledge any of it goes a long way into pushing the horror of the setting into the background, but like. You could write some absolutely nightmarish shit I think

What would Hornet think upon Ghost showing her their new sib?

Vessels: Being destroyed by Fog Canyon’s jellies

Hornet, watching without reaction: “Little shit lived.”

In this au Hornet juuust barely missed Ghost when trying to find and kill the vessel that had escaped her. Aside from the brief glimpses they saw of her as they made their initial way through Greenpath, they haven’t been acquainted, nor have they fought.

Gorb's arena in Cliffs has no ceiling, and the walls that do exist are short enough that it is possible to get out out bounds with only a vengefly pogo.
