Shrumal Warrior

"Fungal creature that attacks intruders to protect its young. Something queer in the air has caused these mushrooms to grow hearts, minds, and even faces! This means they now fear for their lives, like all other living creatures."

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 the A Weird and Wonderful World Trailer, a Shrumal Warrior wielding a staff is seen. It does not attack the Knight but instead talks to them.
