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.

Hollow Knight
Leg Eater is found in a devastated camp in the Fungal Wastes, near the entrance to the Forgotten Crossroads. Upon first meeting, 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, he will appreciate the smell and sell and repair his charms at a 20% discount.

Leg Eater will notice if the Knight wears one or two Unbreakable Charms bought from  Divine of the Grimm Troupe. Enamored by her pheromones, he will seek 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. The Grimm Troupe member will comment that she liked this final "gift" from the Knight, suggesting Leg Eater's gruesome fate.

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 their upper half of bodies are almost identical.
