Pilflip

Pilflips are enemies in Hollow Knight. They have antenna-like appendages on their back which function as limbs when they are flipped over.

Behaviour and Tactics Patrols its territory without regard to the Knight. Upon being hit, it flips onto its back, changes direction, and begins to chase the Knight while hopping. Upon hitting it again, it changes direction and revert back to patrolling.

If left off-screen for long enough it reverts back to crawling.

Location They are only found in the central part of the Royal Waterways.
