 Did the hivelings build their nest around this sorry bug, or did the bug squeeze its body into their nest? Either way, they seem happy enough together.  |
Husk Hives are enemies in Hollow Knight. These husks have merged their bodies with small hives, carrying Hivelings around who will protect them.[1]
Behaviour and Tactics
When engaged, it flees from the Knight, even jumping up onto platforms if its way is blocked. If cornered, it will leap a short but high distance in the Knight's direction and deal contact damage, much like a Gluttonous Husk. It occasionally spawns a single Hiveling and will spawn three of them upon death.
A well-timed Cyclone Slash near the Husk Hive can kill it and its spawned Hivelings after death at once.

Trivia
- With the Hiveblood equipped, it will not run from the player, deal damage on contact or summon Hivelings, however, they will retaliate when attacked.
- The Hivelings spawned upon death will always be hostile to the player regardless if Hiveblood is equipped or not.
