Pilgrim Pouncer
With a softer shell than most, they would have relied on their athleticism to survive.
Pilgrim Pouncers are enemies in Hollow Knight: Silksong. They are agile pilgrims with a softer shell than most, their higher functions lost to the Haunting.[2]
Behaviour and Tactics
Pilgrim Pouncers either start off enthralled and standing in place, or walking back and forth slowly.
In either case, when Hornet gets near, they leap towards her to attack, then roll a short distance on the ground as they land.
If the Pilgrim Pouncer falls off a ledge whilst rolling, they will roll again as they land.
Their attack and contact both deal 
.
Act 3
Void-afflicted Pilgrim Pouncers have their health quadrupled. They can 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.
Needolin Dialogue
- There is no pain, nor fear, nor death...
- Am I worthy?
- The path... the holy path...
- My soul... my shell. For you!
- My faith... my reward...
- Raise me higher! Pull me closer!
- Lives end, journeys begin...
- Raise my shell! Pull me closer!
- Shining bright, our Citadel waits...
- Pull us higher, even higher...
- We will climb! Climb! Climb forever!
Location
Pilgrim Pouncers can be found in Mosshome and in the Marrow, as well as south-eastern Far Fields, the middle of Greymoor and in Blasted Steps. One of the Pilgrim Pouncers in the Marrow is Pebb, who only appears after buying her entire stock, drops 55 Rosaries, and does not respawn upon death.
1 Pilgrim Pouncer can also be found in the Chapel of the Wanderer's arena.
During Act 3, they can be found in Shellwood attacking Plinney.
