Maggot

An enemy found in Forgotten Crossroads and inhabits a stolen armored shell, making up the False Knight boss fight. Three more can be encountered above the boss room once the player has acquired the Mantis Claw. They have no attacks and simply run away from the Hollow Knight.

Description
Weakest member of the kingdom of Hallownest. Generally looked down upon and forced to do menial labour.

''Consisting of mainly sweet fat, these helpless creatures make excellent provisions for long journeys. Best roasted over an open flame. If they try to bargain for their life, just ignore them. They have nothing to offer.''
