Fungified Husk

The remains of a bug, consumed by a fungus. Frequently releases clouds of thick, deadly gas. The bugs of Hallownest are so pathetic that being infected by poisonous fungi actually increases their chances of survival! They really are absurd creatures.

Fungified Husks are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are deceased citizens of Hallownest whose corpses were filled with and reanimated by infected spores.^[1][2]

Behaviour and Tactics

Much like Volatile Mosskin, it meanders peacefully back and forth until disturbed. Once engaged, it emits an explosive gas cloud from its body, in a faster trigger delay and a wider area of effect than that of a Volatile Mosskin.

Shortly after being killed, its corpse will produce one final explosion that is smaller and equal to that of a Volatile Mosskin.

Trivia

• The Fungified Husk is one of the few enemies that have various different looks, but no change to attacks, the others being the Siblings, the Corpse Creepers, the Royal Retainers and the Mistakes.
• The designs for the two Fungified Husks seem to be modified versions of the Husk Bully and the Husk Hornhead.
