Mawlurk

"Large, immobile creature. Wildly spits venom when intruders pass by. How did this foolish creature lose its legs?! I suppose it's possible to lose anything, if you really try."

Mawlurks are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are overgrown Mawleks who lost their ability to move and now use their acidic spit to dissolve prey.

Behaviour and Tactics
It remains stationary, taking no knockback. Spits large amounts of venom in a wide spray that will fall to the ground and remain for a few seconds.

For Mawlurks on the ground, stay close to their bodies, as this is the least frequent place the blobs of infection will land, and simply attack it until it dies, occasionally dodging blobs.

For Mawlurks on the ceiling, the Howling Wraiths/Abyss Shriek spell is the most effective method to attack, as it is out of standard Nail reach and using Monarch Wings is risky due to the proximity of the goo.

Location
There are 6 Mawlurks in the Ancient Basin, serving as obstacles in the area before the Broken Vessel fight.
