Hunter Queen Carmelita

Overview

Skarrsinger Karmelita, previously known as Hunter Queen Carmelita, is a boss in Hollow Knight: Silksong. She appears to lead the Skarr as an ant queen.

In the reveal trailer she duels Hornet within a grand auditorium lined with balconies packed with cheering ants. One showcased attack sees her leap over Hornet, land, and summon jagged spikes from the ground as she twirls her twin blades.

Her operatic staging aligns with backer content promised for Silksong — the developers teased encounters with “operatic queens,” mysterious assassins, and soaring warlords as part of the integrated rewards.

Curiously, official materials list two spellings of her name: “Karmelita” in the press kit filenames and “Carmelita” in at least one blog post, likely due to a typo.
