Hollow Knight: Silksong
EnemyVerified on build 22479045

Muckroach

Starved pack bug with an insatiable appetite. Despite their tough hide and pungent meat, roaches breed rapidly so are sometimes farmed for food.

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).
