Moss Prophet

"Light is life, beaming, pure, brilliant. To stifle that light is to suppress nature. Nature suppressed distorts, plagues us. Embrace light! Achieve union!"

- Moss Prophet

The Moss Prophet is a minor antagonist in Hollow Knight. He is a large moss covered creature who leads a cult of Moss Vegabonds in worshiping the Infection, seeing The Radiance as their god who will protect them from the non-infected, who deserve judgment.

Biography
Moss Prophet is found in the bottom right area of the Queen's Garden, in the Moss Chapel connected to Fungal Wastes. He sings preaches towards the Infection, hiding underneath his moss when the Knight comes near. After all three Moss Vegabonds are killed, Moss Prophet comes back out and continues singing his verses.

After progressing through the game (requires defeating Broken Vessel), all members of the Moss Chapel have been completely taken over by the plague, hunched over seemingly dead. Dream Nailing Moss Prophet's corpse reveals his last words to be "Blazing...Bright...". Even in death he believes the Radiance will protect him from the cursed ones.
