Leaping Husk

Hunter's Journal


''The remains of a bug, animated by a strange force. It will instinctively leap at uninfected creatures to attack them.''



''The bugs of old Hollownest did not hunt their own food, they had it brought to them. That's why they were so weak. That's why their kingdom crumbled into dust and faded away!''

Behaviour
Meanders back and forth until it sees the player. It will then leap at player on sight.

Tactics
If you stay close to these guys then when they leap up, they will go right over you. Just strike and make sure you don't suffer direct contact by getting too close. Most of the time, you can simply kill them before they even get a chance to attack.

Trivia
On the official website, it is referred to as "Endemons Sapien (Infected)":

These vicious, mindless ghouls were once ordinary bugs like you and me. Something below the surface has burnt away their souls and filled them with an aimless rage.
