Cornifer

Cornifer is first encountered in the bottom of The Forgotten Crossroads where he sells maps and advises The Knight to visit his wife Iselda's shop up in Dirtmouth, unlocking said shop when first encountered.

When Cornifer was first hatched, he wandered off right away, leaving his siblings and his mother behind. He later moved to Dirtmouth with Iselda as soon as he could.

Cornifer can be found in every zone he sells a map for. Scattered papers on the ground lead to his location and his hum can be heard from a few rooms across. The only location where he does not hum is in the Deepnest, where he is visibly afraid for his life and does not want to give his location away to the beasts.

Once the player has bought all of his maps or defeated all three Dreamers, he will be found in the map shop, sleeping in a loft bed.
