Notes
Huntress is part of the special riddle NPC series and was the first to be revealed. Her menacing dialogue and predatory nature suggest she may serve a similar role to the Hunter from the original Hollow Knight, possibly providing information about enemies or serving as a guide to combat encounters.
Her sibilant speech pattern and references to feeding suggest she may be spider-like or otherwise predatory in nature.
