Winged Zoteling

"Figment of an obsessed mind. Grudgingly assists its master in combat by lazily flying towards foes. She asked whether he had bought the Charm for her as he promised he would, but then he explained. The Charm was actually of low quality and not worth the price asked. She understood the wisdom of his decision perfectly."

- 'The Grey Prince' Chapter 136

Winged Zotelings are enemies in Hollow Knight introduced in the Hidden Dreams update. They are flying products of Bretta's obsessed mind.

Behaviour and Tactics In the fight with Grey Prince Zote Winged Zotelings are spat out by the boss and then lazily fly towards the Knight. In  Eternal Ordeal they spawn near the ceiling of the arena.

Winged Zoteling has very low health, but since multiple can quickly become a distraction, it is recommended to kill it as fast as possible with a simple Nail strike or by using a Spell such as Vengeful Spirit/Shade Soul to strike both it and the boss simultaneously. While using this spell against Grey Prince Zote, it is possible to hit the Zoteling and the boss at the same time, similarly in Eternal Ordeal, it can additionally kill a few other Zotelings.

Location Winged Zotelings are spawned by Grey Prince Zote. The boss must be defeated to earn the Winged Zoteling's Journal entry, but the Winged Zoteling does not have to actually appear.

They are also present in the Eternal Ordeal.
