 These bugs have an arrogant air about them, even after dying. Overly proud of their long horns! I enjoy snapping them off.  |
Husk Hornheads are enemies in Hollow Knight. They use their horn to attack any creatures not stricken by the Infection.[1]
Behaviour and Tactics
Lowers its head and charges at the Knight on sight but is otherwise rather weak.
Stand still and hit as it charges, or simply jump over it while down-slashing mid-charge.

Trivia
Pre-release Hornless Husk Hornhead
- In a Kickstarter update, it was referred to as "Endemons Sapien (Infected)":
- "These vicious, mindless ghouls were once ordinary bugs like you and me. Something below the surface has burnt away their souls and filled them with an aimless rage."[2]
- In the pre-release A Weird and Wonderful World trailer, a Husk Hornhead is shown without its horn.
- A modified version of this original design is used as one of the forms of the Fungified Husk.
