Gluttonous Husk

Former member of Hallownest's high society. Uses its corpulent body as a weapon. As these bugs became wealthier they hunted less and consumed more, eventually taking on a grotesque shape not unlike over-ripe fruit.

Gluttonous Husks are enemies in Hollow Knight. In life, these upper-class bugs consumed so much food that they took on a grotesque shape.^[1] Reanimated after death, they now use their body to attack.^[1][2]

Behaviour and Tactics

They meander back and forth until disturbed. When engaged, they hop a short distance in the Knight's direction, dealing contact damage.

Location

They are mainly found in the east part of the City of Tears, much like the Cowardly Husk and Husk Dandy.
