Hive Soldier

"Defends the Hive against intruders with its extendable stinger. Savage and dedicated warriors. Be prepared to fight them to the death if you plan on invading their home."

Hive Soldiers are enemies in Hollow Knight. These bee warriors spin their compound stingers to attack intruders.

Behaviour and Tactics
Hovers about passively until engaged. To attack, they reveal a massive, drill-like stinger and will charge at the Knight after a few seconds, somewhat tracking their movement. Once impacting the ground, they remain stuck for a few seconds, vulnerable to attacks. Simply dodge their charge and hit them while they're down before backing off and repeating the process.

Location
Found within the Hive.

Trivia

 * With Hiveblood equipped, they will not attack the Knight or deal damage on contact. However, they will retaliate when attacked.
