Description ... Drawing this guy is actually really easy. xD Started with a doodle... ended up with a reference. I will admit... I like the Hollow Knight setting, and the art style and... the character designs actually work pretty well with my art style.

Khula is a Vessel that managed to make his way out of Hallownest, and just... wanders. He's curious to a fault. While he can not speak, he does have a charm that allows him to communicate via telepathy.

Since he's an insect, I decided that he has two sets of arms, his main set, seen from beneath the cloak, and two smaller ones, and little claws on his feet and hands, allowing him to climb and move about. I gave him some beetle inspiration, with iridescence on the wing covers, and the wing itself, which is based on a goliath beetle. He can fly decently well, though he isn't the most menouverable in the air and needs space. His wings don't help much if he doesn't have the space to actually use them. His flight pattern can be compared to those big clumsy green Junebugs. 

Khula is quick, agile, and very, very, VERY curious. So curious that some wonder how he is still alive because he'll approach anything that looks interesting, even if it seems dangerous. He is, however, quite skittish so if whatever it is that caught his eye moves, he'll be zipping away to safety, and perhaps his quick reflexes are what keeps him alive. 

While he isn't combative in any way, he can and will use his nail to defend himself if he is cornered and can't run away. He's actually quite skilled with it. With powerful legs and the ability to leap several times his height, and surprising strength packed into his form, he's no pushover. 

He's about 5 feet tall.
-He can lift almost 30 times his own body weight and is surprisingly strong
-His carapace is actually quite thick and tough, and forms an effective armor. He can take some hits before receiving damage. If his carapace is damaged, the void that makes him up can leak out and can weaken him. He can focus his strength on healing himself, though this does take a moment, and requires full focus, and requires him to have a good store of life energy to do.

His main arms have five fingers each, arranged like a human hand. The lower hands have three fingers and a thumb, and are less coordinated. They are meant to grip things while he climbs, allowing him to use his main hands for more dexterous tasks.

Adopted from here: 

I love this cutiebutt. xD
