Lifeseed

Lifeseeds are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are small seeds which are often found huddled together in Lifeblood Cocoons. Lifeseeds contain Lifeblood, a blue liquid which invigorates the body when it is consumed.

Behaviour and Tactics Lifeseeds are birthed from destroyed Lifeblood Cocoons and run away from the Knight. When killed, they grant 1 Lifeblood Mask. Grimmchild and the Weaverlings spawned by Weaversong cannot kill Lifeseeds, although they still try to attack them. Hatchlings spawned by Glowing Womb are able to kill Lifeseeds.

Lifeseeds do not give SOUL when killed but do give SOUL when Dream Nailed.

Unlike Charms that grant Lifeblood Masks (Lifeblood Heart, Lifeblood Core, and Joni's Blessing), Lifeblood Masks granted by Lifeseeds are temporary and disappear when resting at a Bench.

Location They spawn from breaking Lifeblood Cocoons, therefore, Lifeseeds can be found wherever there is a cocoon.

Trivia
 * With the Joni's Blessing Charm equipped, Lifeseeds flock towards the Knight instead of running away.
 * Cannot be read by Dream Nail but do give SOUL when Dream Nailed.
 * There is a cut version of the Lifeseed that features wings and which would be able to fly away instead of run.
