Husk Bully
A thick orange mist fills these walking corpses. It has a sweet, sickly taste to it. I find it foul. After you kill these creatures, I suggest you do not eat them.
Husk Bullies are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are walking corpses who attack anyone they can find who has not been Infected.[1]
Behaviour and Tactics
Meanders back and forth passively until the Knight comes within range. It then hurls its body a short distance at the Knight. Because of its slow attack sequence and predictable move set, it is very easily dealt with and only poses a threat to the Knight when found in conjunction with other enemies.

Trivia
- In a Kickstarter update, it was referred to as "Endemons Sapien (Infected)":
- "These vicious, mindless ghouls were once ordinary bugs like you and me. Something below the surface has burnt away their souls and filled them with an aimless rage."[2]
