more of this critter, basically they were a lot like The Knight in that they made it to the top of the Abyss, but was cast down for not being hollow. they escaped and learned about the traitor mantises, and they desired to become stronger like them. so, they embraced the infection, joined up with the traitors, and now they beat up people for fun.

called "Queen Spawn" by traitors bc they figured out pretty quickly what this weird bug reminded them of

(also what topic do you guys post hollow knight art under? the characters aren't exactly anthro but still)
