I've grown stiff and tired over these many years and I've forgotten much, but the sound of the bell will always call me back.

Історія[]
The Last Stag is a large stag beetle and the last of his kind in Hallownest.[1] During the kingdom's heyday, stags were used to transport bugs and goods across the land through the Stagways.[1] When Hallownest fell, travels died down and most of the Stag Stations were closed.[3][4]
Even though his own kind disappeared and old age starts impairing him, the Last Stag remains faithful to his duties.[5][6] He transports any bug calling him with the bell of a Station, wherever they are. However, his memory has been lacking and he forgot where the Stations are located on the Stagways, even the Stag Nest.[7] Yet, the Last Stag keeps a good memory of the places he once visited and still remembers much of Hallownest's golden age.[8]
His dedication to the Stagways makes him dislike the Tramways the Pale King was building before the latter's disappearance.[9] He also makes no difference between his riders, despite his own feelings about them.[10]
Участь у сюжеті[]
The Last Stag can transport the Knight for free to and from any unlocked Stations. He urges them to open any more Stations they may come across, as it may help him remember the location of the Stag Nest.[11]
At every station, he can tell the Knight more about its surrounding areas, providing a lot of information about the past of the kingdom and its inhabitants. However, he mentions that he was not aware of the existence of the station in the Distant Village and the Hidden Station in the Palace Grounds.[12][13]
After finding all available Stations, the Last Stag remembers the location of the Stag Nest and can provide a ride to it. Inside, many Stag corpses are found along with a broken egg and a Vessel Fragment and the Last Stag senses that more of his kind might be alive, which rejoices him.[14] His name is then changed to Old Stag.
