Marrowmaw

Giant roller of the lowlands. Its ridged hide will crush smaller creatures beneath it.

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 50 HP, its most common HP and scaling, and a hit for the needle's own damage (crest attacks multiply it first).

Item drops

Chance per kill, by the game's own pick rule: each drop group rolls once, and a group whose chances add up to less than 1 never drops from the enemy itself.
