Crawlid

From Hollow Knight Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Timid scavenger that crawls through the caverns looking for food.

Dull and pathetic. Hardly worth killing.

Crawlids are enemies in Hollow Knight. They scurry around on the ground in search of food.[1][2] It is the first enemy encountered in the game and is very easy to deal with.

Behaviour and Tactics

Meanders back and forth peacefully and doesn't attempt to target the Knight. Cannot climb up walls or ceilings.

Trivia

  • The Hunter's Journal entry for the Crawlid is automatically filled in upon acquiring the Journal.
  • The Crawlid is one of the few enemies that respawns upon leaving and re-entering the room.
  • In a Kickstarter update they were referred to as "Snittering Crawlid":
"Nothing more than a nuisance, these oblivious little scavengers wander about aimlessly looking for scraps of food."[3]
  • The design of the Crawlid prior to release featured a smooth shell with no spikes.
    • Its design was changed after feedback from internal and public playtests. These tests revealed that the old design did not make it clear that jumping on a Crawlid's back could deal contact damage.[4]
    • In the beta, Crawlids already had spikes, but they were smaller than they are in the final release, with the frontmost spike missing.
    • A dead Crawlid with a smooth shell can be seen in the Tower of Love, inside one of the Collector's jars.
