Gruz Mother

Hunter's Journal


''Mature gruzzer that carries its young in its belly. Attacks by hurling its huge body around.''

''Bizarrely, this monster does not lay eggs but instead carries its young inside its fat stomach. This strange practice seems to exhaust the creature, making it sleepy and vulnerable. Take advantage!''

Behaviour and Tactics
Found in the Forgotten Crossroads, sleeping peacefully until disturbed.

It can charge at the Hollow Knight, attempting to smash them.

It can also smash into the ceiling, falling and hitting the floor, then repeating until it stops.

When the Gruz Mother charges, try to jump over her.

When she does the smash attack, go into a corner. As more than likely, she won't be able to hit you.

And when she dies, a bunch of Gruzzers will spawn.

Trivia
Gruz Mother was the first mini boss revealed in a Kickstarter update in which it was referred to as "Empress Muzznik".
