Hunter's Journal #45 <Fungoon>

"Fully grown fungal balloon. Spits built up internal gas at aggressors."

"So round! I don't think I've seen a rounder creature than this. This world certainly hides some marvellous creatures. I must hunt them all down!" - The Hunter

[goodmode]

random hc ask: some ppl think of some of the enemies like pets. ex., hollow getting a pet tiktik (which i happen 2 love). got any sort of bug pet hk headcanon?

my thoughts go to god tamer first! she's like the only example of anyone canonically having a pet that i can think of so i'd springboard off there and say Alright Let's Talk Sapience First

[feel free to skip to the readmore if you already have a solid idea of what's sapient and what's not. i doubt i'm saying anything other people haven't already picked up on]

we know the dream nail picks up thoughts of things like tiktiks and they display as words even if they're not obviously an upright walking talking bug, so i'm voting anything with god tamer's beast's dream nail dialogue set:

is probably petworthy. as in, not Some Guy. animal tier intelligence i guess.

according to the wiki this exact dialogue set applies to:

Tiktiks, Vengeflies, Crawlids, Gruzzers, Goam, all Aspids, Mosscreeps, Mossflies, Moss Chargers, Squits, Obbles, Durandoo/Duranda, Aluba, Ambloom, Fungling, Fungoon, Pilflips, Belflies, certain Flukes, Crystal Crawlers/Hunters, Glimbacks, Dirtcarvers, Dirtcarver Hatchlings, Garpedes, Corpse Creepers, Deeplings, Deephunters, Lesser Mawleks, Mawlurks, Infected Balloons, Booflies, Primal Aspids, [...]

i can't continue this list it's going to take me all day. you get the gist. there are a Lot of enemies that share the "probably not a sapient person" dreamnail pool. will be leaning heavily on that for What Can Safely Be Written As A Pet Without It Getting Too Weird

we probably can't include Flukes even though they also share the dialogue pool, because they're implied to grow into Flukemon which have separate dialogue and an obviously-sapient NPC (Fluke Hermit) so disregard those. there are also likely other exceptions i haven't covered so please use your head and apply a liberal pinch of salt.

we CAN probably include Vengefly King, Gruz Mother, and Brooding Mawlek since while their DN dialogue is different to their children it still doesn't seem to imply any higher-functioning thought than basic instinct, just a Big Parent Of The Same Thing

ok so individual character/pet ideas behind the cut bc i think this is a rly funny and charming thing to look at

zote. sorry he's first he's the funniest

zote is not one of those guys who would get a Big Dog thinking it makes him look cool and intimidating. he is the guy who puts a collar on a fucking coyote and thinks it makes him look cool and intimidating until it bites him in the dick.

it doesn't happen often, but sometimes he drags something back to Dirtmouth that is foaming at the jaws and insists it's his new faithful pet/steed that obeys his every command and will tear his enemies to pieces. it starts with a vengefly that he boasts about while it is actively chewing on his arm. it escalates from there.

the one thing preventing these beasts from tearing him to pieces is hornet coming in to truss up/confiscate the damn things before they can do any damage to the town

myla.

myla is familiar with glimbacks! she's a miner by trade even if she didn't come from hallownest originally, and i think these things are used as pit ponies in a lot of places. they're big sturdy beasts of burden that can be made to drag carts and carry heavy tools and they're described as "docile and slow" - no sudden movements and take well to handling.

she's never owned one but a living post-infection myla could adopt one of the surviving glimbacks from crystal peak and just kind of keep it like one keeps a rescue horse. horsegirl novel starring myla

cornifer & iselda.

they're married and do not currently have any kids for whatever reason - totally valid, this says nothing about them. however i do think it would be cute they get a dog instead and that's their placeholder baby. they get a mossfly and iselda spoils it with treats and it keeps her company while cornifer is gone. cornifer sometimes takes it for LONG WALKS (doesn't come back for 3 days).

sometimes they have that awkward moment where they're walking it in dirtmouth and it pees on something and they just have to smile and wave like "what can you do haha" while elderbug looks in in supreme disapproval because he has never owned a pet in his life and can't they just stop it from peeing there :/

millibelle.

owner of a yappy dog type crawlid, full-on grandma style. it has a solid shell like she does isn't that cute! she babytalks it and calls it sugarplum or whatever and insists it could never do a thing wrong in its life. it will savage your hand if anyone else tries to pet it.

emilitia.

she does not give a shit about anything that she thinks she'll outlast. Which Is Everything. however, millibelle has a crawlid, and boasts about it, and emilitia can't have that. she gets a tiktik in retaliation and it is exactly like a handbag chihuahua. hornet may or may not have to confiscate this one for the tiktik's sake

hornet.

everything still alive in the kingdom is under her protection, even if it bites. she is ambivalent to their responses to her. (they like her. when she comes back from pharloom playing silk music they like her even more)

lemm.

anti-pet person. i'm so fucking sorry. you bring a single thing into his shop that could pee or chew or scratch or leave tracks and he is going to kick up such a fuss. that said: he would have liked to feed maskflies in the park like your typical old man feeds pigeons

Day 13: Hollow Knight Fungoon and Funglings

This game is incredible, difficult, rewarding, tragic, beautiful, the music is stunning. I love Hollow Knight. It feels like it was made for me.

So here's my imagining of an ancient fungoon, her mycelium starting to breach her skin, long lived and protecting new funglings with her miasma.

A list of mobs and their insectoid counterparts

And, happy fiftieth post. This is the collection that I have deliberated on in regards to what mobs will be made into what as I progress with the resource pack. One such example has already come to fruition, though it is up to you to determine which, until I have more to show for this.

As of yet, this list is incomplete, as it does not officially include the new mobs of 1.19. I will need to review the additions to 1.19 and see what other ideas evolve. Based on everything else, I may consider a lifeblood butterfly for the allay and heavy fool or somesuch for the warden. I don’t have ideas for frogs yet, and I don’t remember if there were other new mobs aside from those three. If there are other non-1.19 mobs that I am missing, please let me know.

I am open to suggestions and feedback on ALL OF THESE IDEAS! Especially the ones with question marks or multiple options. Or, if you have questions about my thought process, I would be more than happy to answer.

It means I am indecisive but am also not sure what else I could do. I’m confident about most of these, but there are also a number that I’ve simply pulled out of a hat. Otherwise, the mobs may or may not be exactly like their Hallownester counterparts, but rather inspired by their design. I can simply make more stuff up if it comes to it, but please allow me to pick your brains first before it reaches that point.

I apologize, as I did intend to add links to every mob and enemy together for quick reference, but Tumblr took issue with it. Please note the focus is on creatures that are in or were supposed to be in Hollow Knight and nothing from Silksong.

The full list is under the cut!

Another one!

Named it Fungoon. Even gave it Luxury Ball.

I really can't afford spending all my luck on shinies! I need it for Octopath CotC.

On the other narrator in the Hunter's Journal:

⚪-in white are the names of the creatures and the first narrator's comments

🔴-in red are the Hunter's comments that don't mesh well or contrast the first entries

🔵- in blue is the text added by me, my observations and comments

Adjectives with subjective connotations:

Grimmkin "playful", "relinquish", "devoted", "terrifying" !!! fear !!!

Husk hive "cowardly"

Mossy Vagabond "lazy, portly Mosskin. Easily swayed by others"

Ambloom "simple-minded"

Moss charger "timid"

Husk miner "precious crystal"

Obble "fat, slow, round", "discharges", "acidic"

Vengefly "pursues its prey relentlessly"

Brooding mawlek "ferocious but extremely social", "mingle"

Gruzzer "simple-minded", "haphazardly", "bumping into things"

Pilflip "odd"

Wandering husk "strange force"

Pale lurker "strange obsessions"

(various words suggest surprise/not understanding something)

Husk bully "aggressively"

Mantis youth "fiercely protective"

Mantis warrior "savage attacks"

Mantis lords "blinding speed"

Bluggsac "placid but putrid"

Little weaver "nimble", "domain", "waits in ambush"

Soul twister "vicious spells"

Fancy words, perhaps suggesting a scientific and/or higher education:

Volatile gruzzer "gruzzer swollen with infection and primed to burst"/"horrible goo and noxious has has started leaking from above. Is there a source of all this pestilence? If so, I haven't seen it" (the Narrator knows more than the Hunter- they have met the gruzzer personally)

Vengefly King "patriarch", "reinforcements"

Entombed husk "enraged by infection"

Maggot "looked down upon", "menial labour"

Squit "proboscis"

Mosskin "foes"

Fool eater "carnivorous"

Husk hornhead "uninfected creature"

Goam "seize prey"

Lifeseed "extracted and consumed", "healthful properties"/"drinking it" (different wording; note that every new skill the Knight gets is described by being "consumed")

Mosscreep "weakling", "amongst", "undergrowth"

Gulka "retracts protectively", "hard spikey balls"

Maskfly "harmless", "favours serene enviroments", "travels in flocks"

Durandoo "simple", "encased" "often found"

Aluba "passive", "prefers", "dwell"

Charged lumafly "generating electricity"/"a sharp, crackling flash" (different wording, also possible the Hunter doesn't know what electricity is, while the Narrator does)

Uoma "smallest Jelly form", "passive", "unaware", "electric charge"/"I have no idea what this is" (the Narrator knows more than the Hunter)

Uumuu "intelligent being that guards the inner chamber of the Teacher's Archives"/"be careful, strange and unnatural things lurk there(no description! The Narrator knows more than the Hunter- they have met Uumuu)

Massive moss charger "family of creatures" (knows concept of family?)

Fungoon "fully grown", "spits built up internal gasses at aggressors"/ "so round!" (the Narrator makes observations and conclusions, the Hunter just goes with the first thing that comes to mind)

Shrumal ogre "corrosive venom"

Aspid hatchling "instinctively"

Soul warrior "learned", "refined", "enhances", "prowess"

Flukemon "worm-like", "prefers damp, dark habitats"/"infest the pipes" (a curious researcher's approach vs an utalitarian one)

Dirtcarver "swarming predator"

Shadow Creeper "has never been observed to eat or drink anything" !!! (Not sure why I added these exclamations- I guess because that's something demanding long-term observation, when the narrator knows it instantly?)

Gorb "mysterious life-form", "distended"

Hopper "sharp proboscis", "drain vital fluids"/"blood it has stolen" (very different wording)

Lightseed "a single-celled organism"

Boofly "docile", "peacefully"

Fungling "passive", "internal gasses cause it to float"/"it drifts" (the Narrator knows more than the Hunter?)

Mistake "once a highly intelligent bug, deformed by the misuse of soul"

Corpse creeper "parasitic beast", "host"

Soul master "became intoxicated"

Flukemarm "insatiable breeder"

Flukemunga "aged", "grown fat", "rich refuse"

Crystal crawler "searing beams of light", "seemingly unaware"

Loodle "not aggressive in nature"

Nosk "mimics the shape of other creatures to lure prey to its lair"/In the deepest darkness, there are beasts who wear faces stolen from your memories and pluck at the strings in your heart. Know yourself, and stay strong. (very detached and objective compared to the Hunter)

Violent husk "maddened by massive infection", "no thought for its own preservation"

Furious vengefly "vengefly whose body has been distorted by continued infection."

Slobbering husk "completely consumed by infection"

Broken vessel "shattered corpse, reanimated by infected parasites"

Aspid hunter "bests its prey", "corrosive"

Soul twister "arcane knowledge"

Mantis youth "abdomen"

Mantis warrior "bladed forelimbs"

Words suggesting the narrator is small (and also might be fond of Grubs):

Gruz mother, Hive guardian "huge body"

Winged sentry "vast cavern"

Hwurmp "tiny and placid", "enormous size"

Garpede "giant burrower", "tirelessly"

Great husk sentry "attacks cause heavy damage"

Oblobble "larger cousin"

(all of these would not fit the Hunter's point of view; comparing these creatures to the Hunter's size makes him be on par with them, or even bigger)

Gluttonous husk "corpulent"

Tiktik "small, sharp claws"

Sharp baldur "bred for battle"

Battle obble "raised in the Colloseum. Although trained for combat, its movements and attacks are still haphazard"

Shardmite "feeds on crystal dust"

(this ties in with the "scientific education" section a bit, but these observations seem like something a smaller creature would make- the Hunter certainly wouldn't bother)

Grub mimic "assumes the shape of a harmless creature to lure prey"/ "a weak little grub"

The Collector "dark figure locked inside the Tower of Love. Preserves Hallownest's creatures in glass jars with particular attention given to Grubs"./"a shadow that sometimes flits through the caverns, making strange noises to itself. I've never seen it clearly so I have no idea what type of creature it is" (the Narrator knows more than the Hunter- they have met the Collector personally)

The narrator respects skill, and values courage and honour, while the Hunter doesn't:

Hornet "skilled"

Dung Defender "skilled combatant", "assails intruders"

Hive knight "loyal protector", "ferocious in battle"

Mantis lords "finest warriors"

Belfly "will give its own life"/"no regard for its own life" (the Narrator respects self-sacrifice?)

Husk warrior "wields a nail and shell"

Moss knight "trained in the ways of the Nail and the Shell" (note the difference: capitalization of Nail and Shell when it's a respected foe)

Mantis youth "proud tribe"

Royal retainer "most loyal and devout"/"simple, weak"

Traitor lord "deposed", "turned against his sisters"

Shielded fool "fighting for glory"

Husk dandy "limited offensive ability"

Stalking devout "worshippers of Herrah the Beast"

Zote:

Zote "a self-proclaimed Knight, of no renown. Wields a nail he carved from shellwood, named "Life Ender" (the Knight is then not self-proclaimed??? Where did their title come from?!)

Grey prince zote "figment of an obsessed mind. Lacks grace but becomes stronger with every defeat" (the Hunter obviously wouldn't know that)

Winged zoteling "grudgingly assists its master in combat by lazily flying towards foes in a nonthreatening manner"

Volatile zoteling "deals poorly with the pressure of existing and quickly explodes"

I copied almost the entire thing about Zote, because this is the most emotional, petty, and subjective the Narrator gets.

This is all to say: I believe it is the Knight writing these entries, and that this can tell us a lot about their personality.

My only issue, as usual:

Primal aspid "wilder, ancestral form of the Aspid. Once thought extinct, they have reappeared st the edges of the world." ??? How would they know that ???

Actually, there might be another, real issue: the Dream Warriors get additional lore in their descriptions which the Knight might not have knowledge about... Unless the Dreamnail grants it after defeating them? I'll go with that. That's the biggest hole in my argument though.

I decided to go back and update Fungal Wastes a little bit to try and match the style I have now developed for the project.

Changes include: -More mushrooms and other small details -Overhaul of the rocks colors and shading -Characters gained some updates to shading, color and lineart -Added blur affect -Nicer looking black border I realize only now that there... aren't really many rocks in fungal wastes. Surprise surprise its all mushrooms- I should have made it like 90% mushrooms but I'd honestly say its too late. Honestly have mixed feelings about this pic but oh well. If you want to see the old version, it's still here on tumblr Fog Canyon is being updated too but the changes are- thankfully, mostly just lineart and polish.
