Dregwheel

Living Silk commanding a dead shell... An affront to nature, and one all too common across Pharloom.

Dregwheels are enemies in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Behaviour and Tactics
Dregwheels naturally wander back and forth, but pursue Hornet during their attack, then forget about her until she comes back into range.
To attack, Dregwheels jump up and extend their bodies, spinning rapidly and then launching themselves towards Hornet, trying to follow her horizontal movement as they bounce against the ground. Dregwheels bounce 3 times before stopping, then fold back into their usual shape.
Their attack deals ![]()
, and their contact damage deals
.
Dregwheels can easily be rushed down before they can begin their assault. Simple outspacing can work as well, as they also extend their hurtbox as they go into their extended form.
