Spiny Husk

Hunter's Journal


Overgrown with vegetation, it attacks by firing sharp spines from its body.

'' The spines they fire seem to be mildly poisonous. Don't use them to clean between your fangs after eating!''

Behaviour and Tactics
Spiny Husk will launch spikes outward when the player approaches. These spikes are not aimed, and sometimes they may not even launch any towards the Hollow Knight.

Because there is a delay between launching spikes, it is advised to move in to trigger the launch, move away to properly avoid the spikes, and then dash back in to deal damage.

When a Spiny Husk dies, it launches one final set of spikes a few seconds after death. Because its body also sprouts spikes, it becomes a hazard, similarly to thorn vines. However, you can strike at their corpse one final time to make it explode and get rid of it.
