Lesser Mawlek
If you try to keep your distance it will spit sticky, burning globs of vile stomach juice. Move in quickly and strike decisively.
Lesser Mawleks are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are fast-moving Mawleks with many teeth and sharp foreclaws who spit acid at targets.[1][2]
Behaviour and Tactics
Spits orange blobs of acid at the Knight from a distance that linger on the floor for 1.25-1.75 seconds. Once close enough, it winds up its leg for a swipe to deal melee damage.
The best tactic is to keep close to it to prevent it from spitting projectiles and dodge its telegraphed swipe while attacking either by jumping and down-striking it or using a Nail Art.
