Fungling
Just a child, it drifts about with closed eyes and an open mind. When I was young, my brothers and sisters and I would hunt each other in the nest. Now I hunt alone.
Funglings are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are gas-filled balloon creatures who ignore the world around them.[1] Funglings are juveniles, becoming Fungoons upon reaching adulthood.[1]
Behaviour and Tactics
Floats and often drifts about peacefully, but deals contact damage to the Knight.
Easily avoided due to their lack of aggression, Funglings are mainly used for platforming by Nail-bouncing on them while in the air. They also serve as obstacles during platforming challenge segments and must be avoided or dealt with.
