Hollow Knight is a 2017 Metroidvania by Australian studio Team Cherry, and Master Grimm was introduced with The Grimm Troupe content update later that year. As the troupe master who invites the Knight to take part in a ritual, Grimm became one of the game's most memorable boss fights thanks to his theatrical movement, cape flourishes and distinctive voice lines. Short clips of his grunts were later lifted by fans for soundboards and edits, where the isolated Teh hit works as a recognisable shorthand for his entrance and attacks.
