Blood Wasp

Blood Wasp, commonly referred to as Wasp, is the main protagonist of Hollow Knight: Deathzone. He is the only gendered child born under the Pale King the White Lady.

Lore
Wasp was a vessel who lived amongst his siblings prior to the fall of Hallownest. As a child, he was sent away to a distant land known as the “Deathzone” by his parents. During the search for the Pure Vessel, the Pale King had killed millions of vessels and left there shades in the Abyss. To protect his gendered child, he had sent Wasp away so he wouldn’t end up with his dead siblings.

He had returned to Hallownest and eventually, his memory had faded and he had forgotten about his past. Wasp became a member of a traveling circus known as the Grimm Troupe, taking part in it’s ritual to feed the Nightmare's Heart. After his services in the Troupe throughout the kingdom, he had returned home to find his siblings gone. Unable to find them, he left, seeking answers in his old home, the Deathzone.

Inventory
Unlike the Knight, the Blood Wasp fights with two nails instead of one. He can obtain Nail Arts throughout his journey, which require Flame to be used.
