hello guys uh welcome to today's let's play of hollow knight, well uh today we will play hollow knight and umm uh eh hmmmmm yeah... yeah :) let's just yeah let's play the bug game :)

[weirdmarioenemies]

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!

Said the phrase "did you microwave my husk" and immediately had a vision streamed into my head from the glorious heavens above.

is the menderbug still alive if so are they friends with anyone in dirtmouth

Oooh yeah I think they're still alive. They would be a very minor character so I never included them in my art or anything. But I do think they're still around, maybe moved to Dirtmouth since it's a lot safer and it gives them more opportunities to fix things for the bugs there. I imagine they would get along nicely with Vyrm, they have a similar interest in fixing things - Vyrm is specialized in fixing mechanisms, tools and similar things, while Menderbug does more architecture-related fixing. I'm sure they would love to share their knowledge with one another and work together during Dirtmouth's renovations

Good morning everyone! 

I hope everyone is having a good day. We got some new art this morning for the The Menderbug, Artificer Subclass.

Guys Guys Guys- hold up for a second.

Bugs that deserved better find comfort in each other.

I really like speculative food design so I was excited to have it feature in my spread illustration

Mender buggie?

Almost forgot about this lil dude

[fangirl-nadir]

And there are certain areas in the game where objects are never repaired because they're locked behind progression mechanics so that Ghost is the only one who can get there

absolutely hilarious of Hollow Knight to answer the question "why are all the things I knock over back in perfect condition when I re-enter the room", a question that really doesn't need an answer because of how common it is in video games, with "there's a guild of bugs who are fixing things very very fast while you aren't looking"

"To be at your side is a great honor, my lord"

"O-oh...!"

"Morning, beloved...oh? You lost cognition of time again?~"

""Morning??""

When you first meet vs. When you become that old couple
