Durandoo
Durandoos are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are large, armour-shelled bugs who frequent shallow pools of acidic water.[1][2]
 One of the few creatures that can survive in the rivers of harsh acidic water that flow around us. Where does this water come from? It bubbles and spits with a seething hatred of the living...  |
Behaviour and Tactics
Slowly swims back and forth passively in acid pools. It can be used to traverse above acid before acquiring Isma's Tear or Crystal Heart by Nail-bouncing on it as it cannot be harmed this way due to its spiky shell. It only takes damage from the front; however, it is rather difficult to hit it with the Nail without Isma's Tear, so the use of Spells is recommended.

Trivia
- The only Durandoo that can be Dream Nailed is in the one in Queen's Gardens. The ground beside the Durandoo is at face-level with it, allowing the Dream Nail to reach it.
- Its shell has a separate health value of 9999, though it cannot be damaged.
