Elderbug

The oldest resident of Dirtmouth and a friendly face for new travellers seeking the Kingdom. He gives advice to anyone who passes by him.

While Elderbug is the oldest bug in Dirtmouth, he was not around before the fall of Hallownest, as he mentions that the Stag Station of Dirtmouth was closed even before his time.

When Elderbug is first met, he talks about how all of Dirtmouth’s residents have disappeared down the well into the ruins of Hallownest. He warns The Knight to be careful if they decide to head down the well and seek their dreams, as creatures who go there turn mad and travellers are robbed of their memories. He wonders if perhaps dreams are not such great things to have.

After he is given a Delicate Flower, he happily accepts it and comments on how he had not expected any gratitude for the advice that he gave to travellers. The flower makes him see the world as a little less faded and even causes him to consider that dreams might not be so bad after all.

Trivia

 * Although he is a valid recipient of the Delicate Flower, giving him the flower does not have any effects and will only count as it being destroyed. Another flower can still be acquired from the Grey Mourner to be delivered to the grave in Queen's Gardens, or from the grave itself if the Grey Mourner's quest has already been completed.
 * If the player passes Elderbug without talking to him when first entering Dirtmouth, he will call after The Knight in surprise and if talked to later, he will comment on this.
 * Due to a possible bug, Elderbug's dialogue where he hints at Greenpath after acquiring Vengeful Spirit does not trigger, making him hint at the Fungal Wastes instead.
