Inkweaver: The Vessel's Mastermind

"An evil that all creatures, and even the Radiance and the Shade Lord feared. A master wielder of Ink and notorious for single-handedly destroying massive kingdoms like the Scorpion Kingdom. Referred to as the Creator of All."

= Overview =

The final boss of Hollow Knight: Vessel of the Desert. He can take the form of anything or any being using the power of Illusion, since he is simply a vessel made from ink. He created the Dream Realm and The Inkmare Realm using the powers of Creation(Ink), Destruction(The First Nail), Light(SOUL), and Darkness(Void) and put all of that into the form of a Vessel.

= Appearance = His mask is a dragon skull with 3 pairs of horns. The first two pairs are side horns that curve a bit upward. He has four arms, and is about the height of Hollow.

= Attacks =

Phase 2
He will gain 2 attacks: The Vengeance Slash and the Nightmare Wave. Although during this phase, he can't use the Void Dash Smash.

 * Nightmare Wave: He leaps to the throne in the background and watches as a wave of Ink-based enemies attempt to overpower the player. The Nightmare Wave summons 3 Blackened Spirits, 2 Ink Warriors, and 1 Inkmould, all in random order, except for the Inkmould, which is summoned last. Once all the enemies are defeated, he will leap to the center, and smash into the ground, causing an ink shockwave.
