Gorgeous Husk
 There is beauty in many things. Reflections of light in water, the taste of freshly killed meat, the cry of a hatchling for its mother... I have never understood the lust for metals and stones though.  |
The Gorgeous Husk is an enemy in Hollow Knight. Its body is covered in a shining metal, and it still retains the instinct to collect Geo even after death.[1][2]
Behaviour and Tactics
Meanders back and forth and is passive until attacked, though it is still harmful on contact. Once disturbed, it attacks just like the Gluttonous Husk, hopping at the Knight once in range. However, it is bigger and has much more health, making it slightly more challenging to beat.

Location
It is located in the northernmost room to the east of the Hollow Knight Fountain in the City of Tears. To reach it, travel east when entering the room in a secret chamber. There is a hidden step that is easy to miss as the Knight has to jump to enter the hidden room.
