 Are these hulking things beasts or are they mushrooms? I cut one in half and peered inside to find out, but could find no answers in its soft, stinking insides.  |
Shrumal Ogres are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are huge, beastly fungal creatures who have a heavily armoured cap.[1][2]
Behaviour and Tactics
- Thrash: Briefly winds up then smashes its head 7 times against the ground in front of itself, moving slowly forward.
- Goo Spit: Spits balls of orange goo that stay on the ground for a short period of time
Keep a small distance from it to bait its ranged attack, then dash under the acid to attack. Retreat when it pauses to use its Trash attack.
Shrumal Ogres are impervious to Nail strikes from above, but can still be damaged by the Desolate Dive/Descending Dark Spell.
During the mini-boss battle where two are fought at once, try to damage-burst one down as quickly as possible. The Stalwart Shell Charm makes this significantly easier.

Location
There are four of them throughout the game:
- Two are fought in the arena in the north part of the Fungal Wastes
- The other two are near the entrance to Deepnest in the bottom of the Fungal Core.
When the two in the north of the Fungal Wastes are defeated, only one of them respawns after resting at a Bench.
