Caranid

Common winged bug of the lowlands. Generally docile, but will attack if threats come close.

Needle hits to kill

Silksong multiplies every hit on this enemy by its own factor for your needle level (HealthManager damage scaling), so upgrades help here more or less than the raw damage suggests. For 14 HP, and a hit for the needle's own damage (crest attacks multiply it first).
