The Roaring Knight is the main antagonist of Deltarune. It[lower-alpha 1] serves as the final boss and Shadow Crystal boss of Deltarune Chapter 3, as well as the main antagonist of Chapter 4.
While it does not physically appear in Chapter 1 or Chapter 2, King and Queen both align themselves with the Knight after the Dark Fountains that it made gave form to Card Kingdom and the Cyber World. In Chapter 3, it works with Tenna to divert the heroes.
As demonstrated in Chapters 3 and 4, the Knight boasts tremendous power, and, like all Lightners, has the ability to create Dark Worlds via the Dark Fountains.
Profile
Appearance
The Knight is a tall, slender, sharply emaciated pitch-black silhouette with a white outline. Its helmet is diamond-shaped, with its opening resembling the visor of a frog-mouth helm. It can contort the shape to primarily resemble a visor, occasionally as a mouth, and rarely as a dark eye. Two long protrusions extend from the sides of the helmet, which resemble sharp three-pointed horns or antlers.
The Knight's body is slim and angular, with large triangular pauldrons, an extremely thin waist, jagged and jutting hipbones, and pointy legs with no discernible feet. Each hand appears to have a large white hole through the palm. These can emit a mauve starry beam that can drag things in the vicinity toward itself.
Overall, the Knight's body can shift in shape. Its helmet's opening can morph and shift around its face, and can have sharp, visible teeth. It can contort into a small rotating ball to swiftly dodge attacks, or transform into a ragged avian creature that can fly at high speeds. When it takes enough damage, its body becomes distorted, resembling video noise or the oscillation of a seismometer. It can also manifest an endless number of knife-shaped bullets and a sword whose form seems indistinguishable from its body.
When roaring, the Knight's appearance becomes more monstrous. It has two white eyes and a mouth with sharp teeth, and its chest opens up with skeletal ribs splaying outwards to reveal a large white eye with a slit pupil at its center.
The Knight always levitates in the air and produces a trail of afterimages to the opposite of whatever direction it is facing, even when stationary. When laughing, these afterimages move outwards randomly, and when roaring, the afterimages expand as they move away.
