Fertid

Skittish scrambler of the Far Fields. Its antennae resemble stalks of grass to aid in camouflage.

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 15 HP, and a hit for the needle's own damage (crest attacks multiply it first).
