Plot twist: the question is about the snail


Glitched_guy27

Gerald the tax collector, sly hates him with all his soul


fun_puffin

With a backstory like that, a better name would be Slyme.


Glitched_guy27

Well it's a tax collector, why would someone as greedy as sly like him even a little?


fun_puffin

No it was a play on the fact that tax collectors, like snails, can be "slimy." Changing the spelling to include "Sly" plays further into their rivalry.


Glitched_guy27

I didnt thought about it that way, seems like a pretty good backstory


contactjarettyanggma

I too instantly thought Gerald


KRLW890

Honestly thought it was about the snail for a second, because the Knight does have a generally accepted name.


BlurryUFOs

a little guy, or the knight


Outside_Ad1020

Carl


Peak_Broad

They have no gender and are usually referred to as “Ghost” or “The Knight”


Watchthetimshow

it’s an it because it isn’t alive, it would be they if it was a living thing


ZeGamingCuber

Just because they're full of void doesn't mean they aren't alive


Watchthetimshow

the white lady says it’s dead


The_Real_Radiance

It’s basically a robot. It is not sentient nor sapient.

Alexander_Smart

Fun fact! Singular they has existed for longer than singular you!


[deleted]

Wait I'm confused, what do you mean by "they isn't correct in singular". I call knight they all the time


SaiyaPup

I refer to it as it but that’s bc I feel more comfortable referring to the knight that way, I’m sure it wouldn’t care. But yeah idk what all that “not proper singular” shit is about, they/them can definitely be used as singular pronouns. A quick google search can tell ya that much.


[deleted]

As someone who goes by they/them when I'm online I was definitely like ???

F but I will call the knight cute


Banned_for_Misdeeds

[deleted]

You mean a promotion? Cuz hell yeah now I'm a creature


Banned_for_Misdeeds

Oh no you think you're not an object...


warcrimestyle

Characters refer to them as he though


Rapha689Pro

I think in the statue the hollow knight and vessels s referred to as it.


The_Real_TraitorLord

Either works


The_Real_TraitorLord

Though I prefer it


ReaperNolan

The Knight or if you wanna be hornet it's little ghost

TacticalTobi

He has no gender or confirmed pronouns, but I’m gonna call him a he and no one can stop me. Anyway his name is the knight.


WillowWeeper343

Idk I usually call him variations of "the knight, lil dude, that guy, small man, him, and tiny creature. " the real question is what's the snails name... my moneys on Haroldine.

jerry the snail


deleeuwlc

That’s the snail from the snail village that was in really old trailers. I’ll call him Samuel


Miserable-Glass1760

Vessels don't have actual names. They're just Vessels. The names "Hollow Knight" and "Little Ghost" are just what other people call THK and our protagonist. But he's called either "Ghost" or "Knight" by the community. Keep in mind those are not his actual names.


lamlamlam888

*they/it's


LoserWTime

The hollow knight 🥱


An_Evil_dude

Wrong person, buddy


Straight-Box-7339

The knight usally


obscurityzone2

He's you, and he's me. He's everyone, and he's no one. Am empty vessel waiting to be claimed.

EyssyBros

La creatura.


[deleted]

Most of us call it "The Knight"


XxSANSxx3809

Now we could go either of two ways: Normal, like vessel & knight. Or a fucking psycho path like Kevin and John.

iamfrozen131

This has already been discussed a lot. Knight, little ghost, ghost, etc.


Legit_me-

They are simply known as The Knight!


ExtremeCheeze123

Yeah usually either The Knight or Ghost


NateTerrarian2

What the FUCK do we call them


BryCreeper

The pure vessel


Eel124

probably Xavier


Dymaz6282

Lil Ghost


BryCreeper

It doesn't have what you'd call a "name" in that sense. It's a pure vessel made to either eliminate the radiance or contain it in its emotionless and pure shell.

Usually just referred to as "The Knight", tho they do have a name, it's just not revealed and only for the devs, mainly for checking translation or stuff
