The Grimm Troupe
The Grimm Troupe is a traveling circus within the vast world both in and beyond Hallownest. Led by the one and only Troupe Master Grimm, if a traveler lights a special lantern known as the Nightmare Lantern, the troupe will be summoned into that kingdom. They are tasked with performing a ritual that will sustain the Nightmare's Heart, a dangerous creatures that lurks within the darkest parts of the Dream Realm and is the source of a special type of dream known as Nightmares. In order to perform this ritual, the traveler needs to gather a total of nine flames scattered throughout the kingdom. The flames are consumed by a Grimmchild. After killing the Nightmare King, the Dream form of the Troupe Master, the ritual is complete and the child will eventually take the Nightmare King’s role.

Other members of the group include merchant Divine and accordion player Brumm, accompanied by two Grimmsteeds. Also serving the master are a group of Grimmkins, who guard the flames during the ritual.
