Moss Mother

The Moss Mother is a Boss in Silksong. When entering her arena the room will start to rumble, then she will explode out of a plant-like cocoon in the middle of the arena and let out a screech signalling the start of the fight.

Behaviour and Tactics
Moss Mother will hover and quickly float around the small arena. She will always try to return to the middle of the room to use the following attacks:


 * Swoop: Moss Mother will fly down in a small dive with her stinger towards Hornet's direction. When she reaches the floor she will slide her body across the ground a distance roughly half of the arena.
 * Headbutt: Moss Mother will quickly rise up and slam her head into the ceiling of the arena causing either 3 stalactites or 2 small spiny "moss worms" to fall from above. Falling objects' positions will be pre-indicated by a small puff of dust that lasts half a second before the object falls. The objects will also not all fall at once but can be staggered; falling at different times.

Location
She is found in the Old Church, a sub-area of the Moss Grotto.

Trivia

 * Moss Mother echoes the design of Gruz Mother in Hollow Knight. Both are the first boss to be encountered in their respective games while being their species' matriarchs.
 * Both are also fought in an abandoned church, which was what Gruz Mother's arena initially was described to be.
