Smelt Shoveller

Low level worker lost to Pharloom’s Haunting. Instinct keeps them at their task, though in much simpler fashion than before.

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