Maggot

Hunter's Journal


''Weakest member of the kingdom of Hallownest. Generally looked down upon and forced to do menial labour.''



''Consisting of mainly sweet fat, these helpless creatures make excellent provisions for long journeys. Best roasted over an open flame. If they try to bargain for their life, just ignore them. They have nothing to offer.''

Behaviour and Tactics
Two of them are encountered in Forgotten Crossroads above the False Knight's boss arena, after acquiring the Mantis Claw.

Flees from the player, posing no threat. They do not respawn.

It's best to leave the left one alive until the Failed Champion is defeated. If the player loses in the dream fight, they wake up with full health but no SOUL. Using the Dream Nail on the Maggot is a convenient way to re-enter the fight prepared.

Trivia

 * The False Knight is actually a maggot that stole Hegemol's armour to protect its siblings.
