Zote

Zote, AKA Zote the Mighty, is an NPC of Hollow Knight, known to be very mean and sarcastic, Zote is a traveller from outside Hallownest who came to the Kingdom to fulfill a promise. This is ultimately revealed to be a promise of glory for himself. He named his nail "Life Ender" because names supposedly have power. Unfortunately, because it is made of shellwood, it cannot deal damage. He recites "The Fifty Seven Precepts Of Zote". And tells stories to Bretta about them.
