Fungoon

Fully grown fungal balloon. Spits built up internal gas at aggressors.

So round! I don't think I've seen a rounder creature than this. This world certainly hides some marvellous creatures. I must hunt them all down!

Fungoons are enemies in Hollow Knight. The adult form of the Funglings, these fungal balloon creatures attack by spitting streams of noxious gas.^[1]

Behaviour and Tactics

Floats around in the air until disturbed. It blows a blast of Infected gas at its foe from above. This blast is fairly slow and easy to dodge. The Fungoon can only release this gas straight down, making attacking from above the best option.
