In this video, we will explore the Pale King's body in ways no one has ever dared before. And we get a little help from the talented artist Mebi to help us visualize the Pale King in ways not showed to us in Hollow Knight. Enjoy!

Special thanks to Mebi and Serrara for checking my script and providing their own thoughts and corrections!
