a sketch i did for the things of deepnest :) i find it a rather pretty area, ignoring the well-known creepiness and the fact that i'm being chased by many-legged creatures through small tunnels most of the time i'm there

it seems that once again tumblr has mercilessly slaughtered the quality, so apologies for that; as compensation take my five minute hot spring quirrel™, arguably the best part about deepnest:

I love how much ppl hate Deepnest because I find it so calming somehow. Like wow...nice ambiance. Pretty glowy mushrooms. And look at all these darling little creatures. This one's wearing a red cloak like Hornet! Garpedes are so cool...wonder where they're going. I'm gonna pet a Stalking Devout

Next logical step! Draw Minos and Sisyphus as Hollow Knight charater right after I drew V1 and Gabriel's versions (witch you can find right here)

I honestly had alot of fun designing these 2 (especially Minos, I really love his original design so i had a blast)

And again: imma go ahead and explain my design choices down below:

Starting with Daddy™ Minos Prime :

-It was abit challenging to turn his massive form into an insect from hollow knight (even though he kinda looks like Pale King), but I finally figured it out and it's all thanks to his attacks patterns (and his backstory too but, we'll talk about it later on)

-Idk if y'all noticed, but Minos's attack patterns kkinda resembles the Mantises attack pattern (especially the Traitor Lord's): Get to high places to pound you to the ground (joke intended, he's the king of Lust after all), he has range attacks and can take on your health bar pretty quickly with his strong attacks (also he fast as f boi)...So yeah go for a more or less Mantis base

-I also wanted his to have a pretty and dynamic shape, so I modified the bodyshape abit, making it ressemble the headcanon looks of Pale King that somme of y'all has (including me). He is a King after all ^^

-Replaced the big snakes with white Garpedes (the weird centipede this that either blocks your path or helps you do parcour in HK) cuz of course I did

-Modified his facehole abit cuz..idk, it's more fitting I guess

-Also, back to the bit about his backstory that made me pick his bug desig: he was the king of a region who wanted to control it and protect it in his own ways but had trouble with "upper" authoryties...doesn't that remind you of the Mantis tribe? the only difference is that the Mantises and PK eventually figured it out but Minos...Well, this didn't end well

Now let's move on to Sisyphus

.....I mean, do I even need to explain myself for this one?

Look:

-Big shiny fella : go for big moth (Regal moth specifically) cuz light and Radiance and yaddy yaddy yadda

-Tried to raise his army to take over/ have freedom (Radiance exept Radiance was a forcefull b )

-Locked away in order to be forgotten by the Insurectionists (...Radiance with her people) + notion of memory in his monologue

-THE HARDEST BOSS IN THE GAME (...yet, and act III has yet to come out as I speak) : For me, absolute radiance is the hardest boss in HK

Yeah that's it! I don't need to elaborate any further and it's 4AM

Y'all enjoy the food ,even tho i'm pretty sure most of you won't even read this sections

I'll admit it was more for my undiagnosed adhd (or autism, i still don't know) brain than an actual audience, but I hope you had fun reading through this ^^

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

#gmask #thethrillof #hollow knight #uhhh if anyone wants to hear more about this feel free i guess lmao

[bluegekk0]

What about aquatic animals or those that prey on them? Catfish in Greenpath's acid lake that might even rival Unn in size? Salmon swimming between Kingdom's Edge waters beyond the borders on the migration route? Aquatic Garpede species? A (moss)Jaguar like species hunting said Garpede?

I definitely want to create some aquatic critters for the Blue Lake region. Since there are no underwater areas in the game I think that's the closest to a marine region I'm gonna get when it comes to Hallownest.

The acid lakes wouldn't have a lot of animals adapted to living in them, I imagine. The conditions are too harsh, I don't think many beings that aren't Unn could survive in them. But we'll see, maybe I'll change my mind if I get some good ideas for the creatures.

Thank you for the suggestions! ❤️

Foods in Hallownest:

I don't know why I'm putting much thought into it but after writing a fic and writing a scene where two bugs are eating, and I kept writing what I think would be the Hallownest equivalent of some foods and what would even be eaten.

Crops:

I think that pretty much any fruit or vegetable that could be grown in most climates could be grown in Hallownest. For example: apples, pears, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, corn, ect. Pretty much anything that could be grown in the Midwest. Most of the crops are grown in Greenpath though some places can grow other stuff as well. Howling Cliffs could absolutely grow potatoes as potatoes like to grow everywhere. Dirtmouth could also grow potatoes along with wheat as soil in Dirtmouth is a bit better and it's less windy there. Ismas Grove and Queens Gardens grow special herbs used for medicines.

Meats:

Now figuring out what meats are eaten is a bit weird as bugs would be eating bugs but they aren't eating sentient bugs, but it's also not really canablism. Anyways here are bugs that would be eaten in Hallownest:

-tic tics

-crawlids

-aspids(not common as aspids are hard to cook. So pretty much the Hallownest equivalent to a pufferfish)

-Duranda

-mosscreeps(very unpopular as it is the Hallownest equivalent to eating a dog)

-vengflies

-Mawlk(not common and is equivalent to eating elk)

There are some location specific meats and meats that are only eaten on one location:

-dirt carver&hatchers(Deepnest)

-Garpede(Deepnest)

There are also some foods that are taken from other locations and hunted and are eaten by guards, office officials, or used for storage and rations:

-Hopper(kingdoms edge)

-Boofly(Kingdoms edge)

The only thing I can't really fit in is how Fungal Wastes fits into all of this as the Mantis Tribe is there and they are the only enemy in that section that is actually a bug. Everything else in that section is fungal based and mantises are carnivores. Sure they could eat their mate after doing it, but they aren't doing that often. My guess is that the Mantises travel to Deepnest(Illegally), or Greenpath to hunt.

What are the typical prey of deepnest? I know nosks and spiders live there, but little else of its flora and fauna. What would the nosks have eaten before they resorted to city denizens?

Ah... hrm. Well, since I have been through those twisting tunnels rather recently, I can... speculate as to what that typical prey might have been.

Of course, as you've listed, the spiders were one. Deephunters and their deeplings would not make a fufilling meal, but perhaps were saved for hatchlings.

Dirtcarvers are nasty, treacherous beasts that spring up underneath your feet and attempt to snap you up in their mandibles, but they would be no match for a Nosk. Given their numbers were painfully plentiful, I imagine many a Nosk were satisfied on the dirtcarvers alone.

The strongest of the beasts may have targeted the Devouts. Hulking monsters with swift blade-like claws. Battles between these monsters would have been a spectacle to behold!... Should they have ever happened, of course.

...I do not believe any Nosk could get its claws into a garpede, however. Their shells were stronger than the most refined steel!

So, I'm new to this and love it already. I have a random thought: What if, in a space-time distortion, Laventon and Markoth run into a Nosk? And that Nosk does a quick view of memories(somehow), and turns into one of the kids? I love this AU and my mind asked this question and will not leave me alone!

Was this just an excuse to doodle a comic and brainrot over AMIH again? Yes. Yes it was.

First a Garpede now a Nosk? The rare space-time distortions that pop in Hallownest sure know what creatures to choose to put our poor professor in danger. Saved by Markoth 'only rational person in this entire place' Mothman

Silly little idea time~

You know that one dead garpede that's like, somehow dead? despite it obviously having to be super alive or something and not like, in half?

Imagined Hunter coming across these and finding out his claws and mandibles are no match for garpede's sturdiness

then he comes across Herrah slashing with such force she actually gets this thing cut in half by piercing through with a large needle and enough brute force

and he's like "wow.... sparkle emote" and realizes that damn, he better stay the heck out of her way (respectfully with a tinge of admiration)

and I KNOW the dead garpede is there to indicate sharp shadow (it still doesn't cut through but maybe with a larger vessel bug it could~), I just had this silly scenario in my head
