==Summary==
The False Knight is one of the first bosses The Knight encounters within Hallownest. While appearing large and intimidating, in actuality, the False Knight is actually a small maggot who has taken on the shell of the great knight Hegemol.
If the Knight enters the maggot's dream, it can encounter the False Knight's dream form, the Failed Champion, who is a far stronger and faster version of its real-world counterpart.
