Talk:Milfanito/@comment-24480699-20150401001759

I just realized something: it's very likely the Melfanito are in very late stages of hollowing. The Melfanito near the Demon of Song's boss room and the one in the Embedded's cage are evidently no longer capable of speech or reasonable thought, and one of them looks extremely hollow, while the other is wearing the Ring of the Dead (which makes characters look human even though they are Hollow). The other two Melfanito exhibit the mental traits of decaying hollows e.g. they are very forgetful, to the point of not knowing or remembering anything outside of their tiny rooms. Due to the fact the Melfanito are strongly associated with Hollowing and Undeath (the shrine that supposedly created by Nito, the first of the Dead is tended by the Melfanito) it is very likely that Nito (or some other entity) granted them a "cure" (the Ring of the Dead and the shrine) for Undeath in exchange for doing their unknowable bidding. It is likely this entity perished, as the Melfanito seem to have no real guiding purpose and act as if they are part of a cult with one and only one task: to sing to the butterflies in the Shrine of Amna. The two crawling female hollows could possibly be two Melfanito who did not wish to lose their memories in exchange for immortal "life" as Undead.
