 Something queer in the air has caused these mushrooms to grow hearts, minds, and even faces! This means they now fear for their lives, like all other living creatures.  |
Shrumal Warriors are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are fierce fungal creatures who protect their young from intruders, using their flexible caps to roll around.[1][2]
Behaviour and Tactics
When the Knight gets in range or attacks it with a ranged attack, it rolls into a ball and either jumps into the air in a descending arc or rolls directly at the Knight, leaving a trail of toxic gas.
