Species list

The following list contains all of the many different species that exist in the world of Hollow Knight. This page only includes species from the base-game, and will also include sub-variants and groups of characters (like The Grimm Troupe).

Husks
Husks make up most of the kingdom of Hallownest. They are remnants of former citizens that used to roam the kingdom, reanimated and brought back to life by the Infection. Husks can be found all throughout the kingdom, making up most of the population of Hallownest. Many husk variants originate from husks learning to adapt in different regions of the kingdom. The Gluttonous Husk, Husk Dandy, and Cowardly Hueks make up the elite, upper-class society of the kingdom and are found in most of the City of Tears.

Sentries
Reanimated sentries that were tasked with protecting the City of Tears. Powerful creatures equipped with a nail and armor.
