Goam

"Thickly armoured, it bursts from the ground to seize prey in its fangs. These brutes seem to be impervious to most damage, so you can sharpen your weapons on their thick hide or just slash away at them for your own amusement. They barely seem to notice."

Goams are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are worm-like, thickly armoured creatures who burrowed tunnels through the walls of the caverns.
