Massive Moss Charger
 There is strength in numbers, yes, but these creatures never had much strength to begin with. Cut through their trickery!  |
The Massive Moss Charger is an optional mini-boss in Hollow Knight. It is found in Greenpath.
In-game events
The Massive Moss Charger can be found below a ruined structure, west of the entrance to Fog Canyon. It first appears as a large bush but starts shaking as the Knight approaches and eventually roars before giving chase. Once defeated, it is revealed to be a group of Moss Chargers (without their moss) which scurry away and crawl underground.
Fighting the Massive Moss Charger is not necessary to progress past its room.
Behaviour and Tactics
The Massive Moss Charger has two attacks:
- Charge: The Massive Moss Charger charges forward, much like a regular Moss Charger
- Belly-flop: The Massive Moss Charger hops in the air toward the Knight and slams into the ground
The Knight is not locked into this fight, meaning that it is possible to escape the fight at anytime.
Unlike regular Moss Chargers, hitting it does not expose the vulnerable bug within the moss.
Standing near the edge of the room often results in the Massive Moss Charger getting stuck on the edge for a fraction of a second during its Belly-flop attack. This can be used to buy time and dash out of the way.
Having the Quick Slash and/or Heavy Blow Charms equipped means Massive Moss Charger can be defeated solely by rapidly attacking it during its Charge animation.

Trivia
- The Massive Moss Charger is revealed to be four regular Moss Chargers all living together.
- The Moss Chargers spawned after defeating this enemy cannot be killed, and it does not respawn, unlike its smaller counterparts.
- The Massive Moss Charger does not attack and stays buried in the ground if the Knight is not touching the ground.
During the Nintendo Treehouse Live during E3 2018, the Massive Moss Charger was named "Mega Moss Charger", which is also its file name.- The Massive Moss Charger currently uses the same Hunter's Journal icon as the Moss Charger. Before the
Lifeblood update, the Massive Moss Charger used a unique Hunter's Journal icon. Another cut Hunter's Journal icon for the Massive Moss Charger also exists in the files which was never used in the game.
