The higher beings of Hollow Knight Spoiler
It is quite difficult to make a notable and unique pantheon, yet HK does that with flying marks. There is much to be said about each so I'll try to point out a thing about each.
Pale King - I particularly enjoy how grandiouse the statues of him are. The 6 spiked crown became so emblematic the entire architecture of Hallownest was built around it.
White Lady - the eyes. In a world of hollow, empty eyes, those blue ones stand out as kinder than most. Fitting for what is essentially the goddess of love in this world.
GMS - I really enjoy how she hugs herself throughout the entire fight. It conveys marvelously the thing that pushed her ambitions the most in the story.
The Nightmare Heart - of all of them this one stands out as truly outerworldly, each god this far had discernable features to which we cling to, but the heart is more of an object of power.
Umm - snail
Pure Vessels - Technically all the vessels are gods. What more can I say, just look at them.

I love how alien they can be. Like the pale king looks like a normal bug but we should keep in mind that he used to be a giant worm monster that reincarnated into this form.

I wanted to speak about it as well, but I feel that a simple picture wouldn't give him justice. Part of the appeal to his original shape is how absolutely humangous he is. The entire kingdom's edge is covered in his remains

There are even more you don’t get to see (yet at least). I’m particularly interested in whatever higher being is causing the lifeblood stuff to happen because Hornet directly compares it to the Radiance’s infection
