Creators started clipping the Dung Defender's voice lines after Hollow Knight launched in 2017, sharing his most enthusiastic greetings from the Royal Waterways boss fight. The character, once the loyal knight Ogrim, became a fan favourite because his cheerful honour contrasts with the game's quiet, melancholic world. As boss fight edits and reaction videos spread on YouTube and Discord, this longer voice clip stayed popular for introductions and victory moments, with players recognising the booming delivery instantly even without gameplay footage.
