Boon
Boon is an expanded universe character that appears only in the official comic, Hollow Knight First Chapter: Quirrel. Boon is a large bug who carries a large backpack. They speak in the third person and articulate sentences in a simplistic manner.
They are first encountered by Quirrel, being attacked by a horde of vicious bugs in the wastes outside of any kingdom. Quirrel quickly intervenes and Boon is rescued from the attackers, after which Boon shares a meal with Quirrel out of gratitude. While Quirrel's goal in the comic is to reach Hallownest, Boon splits paths with Quirrel before reaching the kingdom and their eventual destination is unknown.

Trivia
- Boon's appearance resembles that of Tuk, implying they could be of the same species.
- The wild bugs seen attacking Boon resemble the Garpids from Hollow Knight: Silksong, common bugs that tunnel near the Wastelands bordering the surface of Pharloom.
