Unn
  |
Unn is an NPC in Hollow Knight who can be found in a pool of acid in the Lake of Unn. She gifts the Shape of Unn Charm.
Lore
Unn is a higher being who is responsible for all life in Greenpath.[2] The temple-like structure at the edge of the Lake of Unn was a place where she was worshipped.[3][4] She once existed with land and dream and devotion, though over time her strength faded.[5][6]
The Mosskin were made from the dream of Unn.[7] Unn is calling to the Mosskin, who are waiting for the call to return.[1][8][9]
In-game events
Unn is located in a pool in the southwest portion of the Lake of Unn. Landing next to this pool will cause her to rise up, stare at the Knight for a moment, and then spit out the Shape of Unn Charm before sinking back into the water.
Godmaster ContentUnn can be seen in Godhome in the Pantheon of Hallownest as a sleeping mass. Godseeker mentions that she can barely feel Unn's presence anymore.

Trivia
- It is widely accepted that Unn's is female because of the Moss Knight's Dream Nail dialogue.[1] However, it is interesting to note, that, while translations did not change the gender associated with Unn in this line, they did change a different line where the Mosskin speak directly to Unn: "Hidden Unn, we need you now." The Russian[10], French[11], Spanish[12], and Portuguese[13] translations refer to Unn in the masculine/neuter. Across all translations, only the German one refers to Unn in the feminine.[14]
- It is highly possible that, in fact, translators knew Unn's gender when they were working on that line but did not change the Moss Knight's Dream Nail dialogue either because of a misunderstanding (probably not all of them understood the reference to Unn) or because of an unwillingness to correct the original English text.
