Massive Moss Charger

"Family of creatures that have learnt to bulk up with moss and live as one. There is strength in numbers, yes, but these creatures never had much strength to begin with. Cut through their trickery!"

The Massive Moss Charger is an optional mini-boss in Hollow Knight. It lies off the Pilgrim's Way in Greenpath.

In-game events The Massive Moss Charger can be found below a ruined structure, just off the Pilgrim's Way before leaving Greenpath for the Fog Canyon. It first appears as a large bush but starts shaking as the Knight approaches and eventually roars before giving chase to them. Once defeated, it is revealed to be a group of Moss Chargers (without their moss) which scurry away and crawl underground.

Behaviour and Tactics
The Massive Moss Charger has two attacks:
 * Charge: The Massive Moss Charger charges forward, much like a regular Moss Charger
 * Belly-flop: The Massive Moss Charger hops in the air toward the Knight and slams into the ground

Unlike regular Moss Chargers, hitting it does not expose the vulnerable bug within the moss.

Standing near the edge of the room often results in the Massive Moss Charger getting stuck on the edge for a fraction of a second during its Belly-flop attack. This can be used to buy time and dash out of the way.

Having Quick Slash or Heavy Blow equipped results in the only action needed being spamming the attack button while the Massive Moss Charger is in its Charge animation.

Location
The Massive Moss Charger is located in the southwest part of Greenpath near Fog Canyon.
