Quirrel is a friendly wandering NPC in Team Cherry's Hollow Knight, the acclaimed 2017 action-adventure game, and like every character in Hallownest he speaks in a distinctive gibberish voice rather than real words. His soft babble plays during his quiet, lore-heavy conversations with the Knight, which made him a fan favorite. The fan-transcribed title 'manama tchuro namen' captures how his two-second mumble sounds to English-speaking ears. It spread through Hollow Knight soundboards and meme edits, and it endures because it is instantly cozy, harmless and easy to caption with fake profound dialogue.
