Pilgrim Groveller
Taken by Pharloom's Haunting, the bug is now capable of little more than prayer and aggression.
Pilgrim Grovellers are enemies in Hollow Knight: Silksong. They are pilgrims that have been taken by the Haunting, capable of little more than prayer and aggression.[1]
Behaviour and Tactics
Slowly crawls along the ground when idle. When Hornet approaches, it raises its arms briefly before leaping at her, continuing to crawl after landing.
There is a short period before Pilgrim Groveller can attack again, providing a window to counterattack.
Contact damage and their attack both deal 
Act 3
Void-afflicted Pilgrim Grovellers have their health quadrupled. They gain one of the following Void attacks:
- Void Blades: The enemy explodes into a semicircle of blades.
- Void Tendrils: The enemy whips Void tendrils in Hornet's direction.
- Void Projectiles: The enemy launches 3 slightly arcing void projectiles in Hornet's direction.
- Void Blobs: The enemy launches 4 arcing Void droplets to the left and right. Upon hitting the ground, each droplet then explodes into a smaller version of the Void Blades attack.
