Hive Soldier

"Defends the Hive against intruders with its extendable stinger. Savage and dedicated warriors. Be prepared to fight them to the death if you plan on invading their home."

Hive Soldiers are enemies in Hollow Knight. These bee warriors spin their compound stingers to attack intruders.

Behaviour and Tactics
Hovers about passively until engaged. To attack, they reveal a massive, drill-like stinger and charge at the Knight after a few seconds, somewhat tracking their movement. Once impacting the ground, they remain stuck for one second, becoming vulnerable to attacks. Simply dodge their charge and hit them while they are stuck before backing off and repeating the process.

Location
Found within the Hive.

Trivia

 * With the Hiveblood Charm equipped, they do not attack the Knight nor deal damage on contact. However, they still retaliate when attacked.
