Pharloom’s Mightiest Adventurers: Silksong Characters as D&D Heroes

When the bells of Pharloom first rang out in Hollow Knight: Silksong, players knew they were in for something special. The long‑awaited sequel didn’t just deepen the lore of Hallownest—it introduced a cast of bugs so vivid they practically begged to be rolled up as Dungeons & Dragons characters. Any dungeon master worth their salt could pluck Hornet and her motley crew straight from the kingdom of silk and song and drop them into a campaign. After all, a warrior nun, a fluffball berserker, and a map‑making monk walk into a tavern… sounds like the start of a grand adventure, no?

Let’s crack open the character sheets and see which D&D classes suit these legends to a T—no homebrew shenanigans required.

Hornet, the needle‑wielding protector of Hallownest, is practically the poster child for a Ranger – Hunter. She’s spent her life stalking beasts through decaying wilds, and by the time she reaches Pharloom she’s a pro at tracking down colossal quarry. Her toolkit screams ranger: traps, throwing needles, and that uncanny knack for disappearing into the shadows. The Hunter Conclave’s features let her pick apart giant enemies with surgical precision, much like her boss fights against the Moss Mother or the looming terror of Moorwing. In the late game, though, Hornet’s Crest of Crafting hints at a dip into Artificer—when your gear gets trickier than a multi‑tool on legs, you know you’ve dabbled in some tinkering.

Shakra is a breath of fresh air compared to her cartographer husband Cornifer. She’s a warrior from a far‑off tribe who mixes martial arts with chakrams as sharp as her wit. If ever there was a Monk – Path of the Kensei
