Mossfly

From Hollow Knight Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Winged weakling that covers itself in leaves to appear larger. Hides amongst the undergrowth, fleeing if predators draw near.

They spend their whole lives hiding or fleeing. How sad. Or, perhaps that is the life they choose for themselves and they enjoy it? It's a strange thought, but not impossible.

Mossflies are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are flying creatures who appear to be cousins of the Mosscreep, similarly covering themselves in leaves.[1][2]

Behaviour and Tactics

Flies around aimlessly until engaged, then drifts slowly towards the Knight. When jumping to attack, remember to watch out for thorns below when falling.
