Leg Eater

"If you have enough Geo, you become a king. When I get enough Geo, I'll become a king..."

- Leg Eater

Leg Eater is a hermit Merchant in Hollow Knight. He sells and repairs Fragile Charms for Geo.

Lore Leg Eater is blind but has a powerful sense of smell. He is a reserved bug who reacts with anger at any threat he may perceive. He is fixated on earning Geo, believing that if he has enough of it, it will make him become a king. Despite his own greed, he is prone to accusing others of the same sin, even wrongfully.

In-game events Leg Eater is found in a camp in the Fungal Wastes, near the entrance to the Forgotten Crossroads. When first meeting him, he offers to show the Knight "something nice" for.

After being paid, Leg Eater opens his Charm shop and sells Fragile Charms that break upon death. He provides a repair service for broken Charms in exchange for a fee. If the Knight wears the Defender's Crest Charm, he appreciates the smell and sells and repairs his Charms at a 20% discount.

Leg Eater notices if the Knight wears one or two Unbreakable Charms bought from Divine of the Grimm Troupe. Enamoured by her pheromones, he seeks her after the Knight presents to him the full set of Unbreakable Charms.

After this, he disappears from his camp and his claws can be found resting in Divine's room. Divine comments that she liked this final "gift" from the Knight, suggesting Leg Eater's gruesome fate.

Location Leg Eater is located in the northern region of the Fungal Wastes. He can be easily found by the bodies of deceased bugs that appear outside his camp.

Trivia
 * The "campfire" beside Leg Eater is made out of a glass-like material and looks similar to a broken Fragile Charm.
 * It is possible that Leg Eater and Divine are the same species as the upper half of their bodies are almost identical.
