Simple flying creature protected by a spikey shell.

Thinks itself fully protected and so is unconcerned by passers by. Attack its face, and teach it that nothing is ever safe.

Durandas are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are large flying creatures who are protected by their spikey shell, largely ignoring outsiders.[1][2]

Behaviour and Tactics

Floats around passively, always facing the Knight. It only takes damage from its unarmoured front and can be used to traverse areas that are above thorns before acquiring Crystal Heart by Nail-bouncing on its hard shell.
