shade (hollow knight)
Edited by Alixiron. Previously edited by Arcana55.
Character/enemy in Hollow Knight. It holds whatever money the player was carrying when they last died, functioning as the game's equivalent to Dark Souls's corpse run mechanic.
It resembles a version of the Knight with blank white eyes and completely black otherwise. Its body below the head appears to be amorphous or vaporous.
The Knight's Shade greatly resemble Siblings. They can usually be differentiated based on their horns. The Knight's Shade will always have the same characteristic horns as the Knight: long, with an inward curve and notches on the end.
