In this video, we will be discussing the Grimm Troupe. I talked about them before back in 2017, but that video is so outdated I had to remake it. Hey, it works for Hollywood!

    “I’ve read Judith Butler” Anyone can do tha- “Twice.” gasp
  • @Araraura1
    maybe they like grimm because he’s tall and stick-like and also has a mouth.
  • @CallMeVidd
    “So Grimm uses the nightmare realm to find other kingdoms” Ok now I think the nightmare realm is just the nether.
  • @captainblue5096
    I think another cool thing should be mentioned. When Grimm is Dream-Nailed after his battle in the tent, he says the following. “Masterful! Even a vessel discarded bears fierce strength. Fine craft, dear Wyrm, and perfect tool to prolong the heart of Grimm.” This means that Grimm is not only aware of the Pale King (this kinda makes sense since they’re both higher beings) but also of the Knight and its origins. So there’s a chance Grimm knows of the Radiance too.

    Precept Forty-Eight: 'Be Careful With Fire' Fire is a type of hot spirit that dances about recklessly. It can warm you and provide light, but it will also singe your shell if it gets too close.

    “He looks like a gen 7 starter” He says, showing gen 8 starters

    mossbag: “it’s not like they would have a map on a piece of paper or something” Cornifer: am I a joke to you?
  • Grimmchild BETTER call home after he moves away! He knows damn well that I raised him better than that
  • @bag1728
    The secret room is just grim's smoking room, change my mind.
  • @Irisverse
    Alright, my theory is that Divine isn't a "real" member of the troupe and just travels with them to sell her poop charms. Which is why she's in a separate tent to everyone else, and why she stays behind if the Nightmare King is defeated but you haven't bought all her charms yet. It would also explain why she only wears that half-mask. Because she's not there to further the cause of the Grimm Troupe, they don't care about fully controlling her.
  • I see a lot of similarities between the Grimm Troupe and the Godseeker. - nomadic group - come to places like hallownest to harness sth. - internal dream realm populated with distinctive mask wearing beings - watch their higher beings battle (Pantheon/Circus)
  • "Like most things in Hollow Knight, it all comes back to vore." Please never change, mossbag.
  • “Why does the world of Hollow Knight vaguely look like a cock and balls?” -mossbag 2020
  • @Amalgam03
    I personally think that the “chart” in the secret room is actually a manequin thing, where they make masks. It would explain the abundance of masks in that room
  • @midget3048
    I was kinda sad when Grimm wasnt around anymore after the NKG fight. Makes me feel better to know i have a little version following me about who might be snapping his/her dapper fingers and dancing in the future
  • @molamola9723
    Ok but why didn’t you mention the inauguration of Andrew Jackson how is this even a grimm troupe lore video without it
  • @stefy7234
    Grimm might actually be a spider since it's shown that he can do a four-legged walk similar to Hornet's during his attack where he launches those fire creatures if the knight stays too close to him
  • @AriLequen
    In grimm's stagger state he turns into a bat and when he is found sleeping upside down hanging from the ceiling. He is definitely supposed to be a bat.
