The Dung Defender is a character from Hollow Knight, the 2017 action adventure game by Team Cherry, where he guards the Royal Waterways beneath Hallownest and later appears as a friendly, honour-bound knight. He is one of the game's memorable boss characters, known for his proud attitude and his devotion to protecting the city's sewers. Clips of his voice have spread through Hollow Knight soundboards, gameplay edits and meme videos, where players reuse his dramatic delivery to introduce characters, celebrate victories or add comic gravitas to ordinary moments. That mix of heroism and absurdity keeps the line in regular use.
