The Hollow first appears in the season four episode "Charmed and Dangerous" as a plot element and is used again in the last two episodes of season eight. In its first appearance, the Source of All Evil has become obsessed with prophecies made by the Oracle in season three and began to actively seek an end to the Charmed Ones. The Hollow is depicted as an extremely powerful vapor essence with limitless power-absorbing potential. It has the potential to end all things as it seeks mindlessly to go on absorbing energies of any kind and may consequently take reality into a completely empty void if unleashed for too long. It also has the ability to possess the corporeal form of any living being.
In the Charmed series, the Hollow possessed the following list of characters during the three episodes it appeared in:
- The Source (Charmed),
- two of his demonic grunts,
- Cole Turner
- Piper Halliwell,
- Phoebe Halliwell,
- Paige Matthews,

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:
“Darker grows the valley, more and more forgetting:
So were it with me if forgetting could be willed.
Tell the grassy hollow that holds the bubbling well-spring
Tell it to forget the source that keeps it filled.”
—George Meredith (1828–1909)
“She could give herself up to the written word as naturally as a good dancer to music or a fine swimmer to water. The only difficulty was that after finishing the last sentence she was left with a feeling at once hollow and uncomfortably full. Exactly like indigestion.”
—Jean Rhys (1894–1979)
