Hollow

Hollows are a race of undead from the Dark Souls series, a set of creatures who have died so many times, their memories have simply rotted away. They seek out soul-bearing creatures, and come in three varieties: Normal, Marked, and Lord.

Types

Regular

Common Hollows are very simple creatures, very slow and feeble, but are ravenous and will attack anything in possession of even a single soul. They are capable of wielding basic weaponry, straight swords, crossbows, shields, daggers, and bastard swords.

Marked

Hollows given the curse of bearing the Darksign, a mark that gives the Hollows a little of their memories back. This allows them to access some of their previous memories, using a humanity (or human effigy). These creatures are capable of wielding any weapon, from a lowly dagger to the mightiest swords known to man.

Lords

These are the chieftains of the undead, who wield souls far beyond the power of a regular Hollow, or were on their way to becoming a Monarch. Known examples include:

• king Vendrick
• lord Gwyn
• The Nameless King (King of Storms before his dragon is killed)
• Manus
• gravlord Nito
• the soul of cinder has an unkindled hollow appearance
