Swamp Squit

Plentiful pest with a sharp proboscis and a belly full of bile.

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