Gluttonous Husk

From Hollow Knight Wiki

Gluttonous Husks are enemies in Hollow Knight. In life, these upper-class bugs consumed so much food that they took on a grotesque shape.[1] Reanimated after death, they now use their body to attack.[1][2]

Former member of Hallownest's high society. Uses its corpulent body as a weapon.

As these bugs became wealthier they hunted less and consumed more, eventually taking on a grotesque shape not unlike over-ripe fruit.
