List of Hollow Knight Bosses with Skin Counterparts
Aka a reference for a haha funnee thing you can do. Mostly for my own purposes, but I know at least one other person in the main tag has done this before and it’s also seriously just funny. I’m gonna run through the Pantheon of Hallownest and note which bosses have a potential skin counterpart.
Each bracket is defined by being bordered by the start/end of the pantheon or a bench spot. Bolded names mean a skin currently exists, italicized names mean a skin is confirmed and in progress/not currently available to use as far as I’m aware, crossed out means I do not know of a skin that is relevant. All skins are below the brackets. I am referencing Colette MSLP’s skin list for this if you’d like to have a look yourself as well, but some are just what I have heard about.
(Current as of February 3rd, 2023)
Brackets:
First bracket: Vengefly Kings | Gruz Mother | False Knight | Massive Moss Charger | Hornet Protector | Gorb | Dung Defender | Soul Warrior | Brooding Mawlek | Oro and Mato

Sixth bracket: Enraged Guardian | Lost Kin | No Eyes | Traitor Lord(?) | White Defender
Seventh bracket: Soul Tyrant | Markoth | Grey Prince Zote | Failed Champion | Nightmare King Grimm
Eighth bracket: Pure Vessel | Absolute Radiance
Skins:
Massive Moss Charger: Moss Knight (artist: Chaktis, unknown platform)
Hornet — Several: Daughter of Hallownest (no artist attribution but likely Leggo my Eggo); Daughter of the Stars (artist: Leggo my Eggo, unknown platform); Little Hornet {Classic, Godmaster, and White} (artist: InkScarlet, unknown platform); debatably, HorNight (artist: LichOne#5951 on Discord)
Oro, Mato, Sheo, and technically Sly — Little Nailmaster (currently in progress, artist: Rondoel on Tumblr)
Xero — flame-shadow is making a Xero skin over on their blog.
Sisters of Battle/Mantis Lords and Traitor Lord — Baby Mantis (artist: Nerdflowo on Tumblr)
Marmu — Marmu Knight (artist: 路过哒雪 on Bilibili)
Flukemarm — Nerdflowo joked about making a fluke skin, and is now doing it seriously. There is no official name for the skin yet, but there are some showcases on her blog.
Broken Vessel/Lost Kin — Several: Sapphire (artist: LOATR, unknown platform); Uninfected Vessel (artist: 羽灵翼, unknown platform); Cousin (? appears to be based on them; artist: 眼泪桦桦桦的流 on Bilibili)
Hive Knight — Hive Knight (artist: 埃里Ellie on Bilibili)
Collector — Grub (artist: 银黎 on Bilibili, incomplete as of the last update on this post). It... works as a counterpart. The cdash animation is Collector trying to grab the grub.
Grimm/NKG — Several: Little Grimm (artist: _yukawa_ on Bilibili); Grimm Knight (artist: Mola, unknown platform); GrimmKnight (artist: 复印纸, unknown platform). Note that the latter two are two different skins with a very similar name.
Uumuu — Jellyfish Knight (artist: 碳烤番茄鸡肉卷 on Bilibili)
Zote — Zote (artist: DFTz, unknown platform)
Pure Vessel — Several: The Sealed Vessel (no artist attribution), Pure Vessel (artist: emray on Twitch and emrayquaza on Twitter); The Hollow Knight (artist: emray on Twitch and emrayquaza on Twitter)
Radiance — Several: Radiance Knight (artist: ixiska on Bilibili); Little Radiance (artist: hawaiianbabidoll on Tumblr; currently only available here in the showcase as Colette has not updated the skin list yet.)
Additionally, there is a Tiny Godseeker skin by Jtad (unknown platform) if you wish to spite Godseeker. Many bosses also have a doodle enemy skin counterpart, made by various artists. Anyone who has ‘unknown platform’ had a YouTube showcase in Colette’s skin list, so they may have YouTube channels, as do some of the artists that do have other known platforms.
If you know of anything else beyond what I’ve listed here, feel free to let me know and I’ll update it. Artists, if you’re referenced here, feel free to promote your work!

do you think that somewhere, deep deep down inside heather, shes kinda into p!noah? (apologies, i’ve just seen the alejandro connection with p!noah and i was trying to stuff alenoaheather in with it)
anyway, ur b pfp messed me up when i was looking for u through who i follow and i was kinda just chanting ophe until i found it TT-TT
I think, deep deep down inside, Heather has a lot of introspective re-evaluation to do before she can even consider admitting to herself that she likes someone. And she's iconic for that. That doesn't stop her from forming crushes on people, mind you.
As for liking p!Noah? Well, (as a Noaheather Enjoyer myself) a lot of Heather's potential romance partners, in my mind at least, stem from the connections she can/does make with them. She's slow to open herself up to people, and really prickly, so for her to have positive feelings for someone else is a novelty. (*cough*gray-aro Heather real*cough*)
If Heather was able to foster some sort of rapport between herself and p!Noah, let's say by offering him something akin to an alliance (since it's only strategic to have a wildcard like Noah's turned out to be on her side- keep your enemies close and all), and see behind the many layers of crazy and deceit? She'd probably have a sense of begrudging respect for him, at least. It takes smarts and dedication to keep up a ruse like his for so long- Heather herself couldn't keep up the "nice girl" act for more than a few episodes- and she knows that Noah's deceptively smart.
Maybe that begrudging respect could blossom into more? Who's to say.
Maybe p!Noah also respects Heather's ruthlessness and cunning, since she was able to scheme and sabotage her way into the final three on Island. She's interesting, and Noah appreciates people who are interesting.
The main drawback of liking someone as eccentric as p!Noah is, as we saw with Izzy and Owen in canon, Heather would need to be able to keep up with him.
Obviously, Noah's not nearly as hyper and fickle as Izzy is, but he's just as impulsive and detached from reality. Heather can appreciate his cleverness and craftiness all she wants- if she can't deal with his callous madness, she'd have very little luck in trying to romance him.
The B pfp was an impulsive choice on my part but I'm not sorry for it because B deserves more recognition for literally carrying his whole team for the first few episodes. I do apologise for any confusion though!

wip wednesday
Loosely based on @sausagepastry 's lighthouse keeper/merman au
Once the boat was beached on the rocks, Niki scrambled out and pulled it closer so that it wouldn’t get washed away. Kohaku should have been keeping an eye on him and would be down to help in a moment, but Niki was still baffled by the uh, tail, and now that he wasn’t distracted by the rocking of the boat, the fact that there were gills and fins on the merman in front of him.
“Hey! Wake up!” He tried shouting and shaking the merman. It had grabbed onto the boat out in the water and looked like it was breathing as much as Niki could tell. How something that may or may not have both gills and air breathing lungs would be able to show he was breathing, Niki wasn’t entirely sure, nor was he sure he wanted to know that answer.
“Niki-han, did you find anythi--oh what is…” Kohaku came to a stop next to Niki, looking at the merman. “Please tell me I’m seein’ things.”
“I don’t think so, Kohaku-chan. He won’t wake up but I don’t want to leave him in the storm either.” Niki shook the merman’s shoulder again, gently slapping its face to no avail. He pressed a finger to its neck to search for a pulse but he didn’t even know if that would yield any results. There was a faint throbbing though, something like a heartbeat. Could they stay out of water? If only the damn thing were awake and could answer their questions.
Another lightning strike jolted them back to reality. “Kohaku-chan, start running the bath and get the stove heated. I’ll try and get him in the house.” Kohaku nodded and ran back inside, while Niki contemplated the best way to get the merman back. There was a wheelbarrow somewhere that would probably work well enough to get him up to the door but trying to wheel it up the steps even when it was empty was a challenge. His stomach growled and Niki decided to just grab it and maybe he would just dump it through the door and he and Kohaku could carry it to the bathroom. Yeah, that would work well enough.
