Trivia[ | ]

  • The Cactus Person is based off of a screenshot shown in a video by HERO that appeared to be then-upcoming content for 1.2, however the NPC never made it into the game. It is unknown whether it was scrapped or if the screenshot was fabricated.
  • The quote "*Sigh*... Bapanada" is a reference to Iselda, one of the shop NPCs in Hollow Knight where she says the same line.
