Shrumal Warrior

Shrumal Warriors are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are fierce fungal creatures who protect their young from intruders, using their flexible caps to roll around.

Behaviour and Tactics
When the Knight gets in range or attacks it with a ranged attack, it rolls into a ball and either jumps into the air in a descending arc or rolls directly at the Knight, leaving a trail of toxic gas.

Location
They can only be found in the Fungal Wastes, mainly in Fungal Core.

Trivia

 * In one of the trailers, a Shrumal Warrior wielding a staff is seen. It does not attack the Knight but instead talks to them.
