Ooma

Hunter's Journal


''Passive outer being protecting an aggressive, explosive core.   ''

''Ghastly, eerie creature made out of thick liquid. You can peer right through them, and can't see where they keep their thoughts. I don't trust them at all. Keep away.''

Behaviour and Tactics
Oomas are passive enemies that float up and down in the air using their tentacles. They are destroyed in a single hit from any attack.

When an Ooma is destroyed, it unleashes a very fast, homing fireball that tracks the Hollow Knight and explodes upon impact with anything, dealing two damage in an area. Because of this, it is recommended to leave Oomas alone unless it's impossible to go around them. The fireball is extremely difficult to avoid normally, but the player may sometimes be able to use the environment for cover against it.

Oomas can be destroyed in one single tick from poison area of effects, such as Defender's Crest or Spore Shroom. This causes them to fall directly down, and can be used to kill Oomas floating over acid pits, since if a destroyed Ooma falls into acid, its core is destroyed before it can attack.
