Moss Charger

From Hollow Knight Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Timid creature that frightens away intruders by covering itself in huge clumps of moss.

It's small, but it finds a lot of courage and strength once it covers itself in foliage. And I can understand the desire to camouflage oneself...

Moss Chargers are enemies in Hollow Knight. They are small, timid creatures who try to scare off predators by covering themselves in moss.[1]

Behaviour and Tactics

Hides until the Knight enters its territory when it emerges from the ground and charges at them. Upon being hit, the leaves fall away, revealing a small bug inside that flees to one end of the platform to burrow away, waiting a few moments before re-emerging again, covered in leaves, attempting another charge.

The first hit only knocks the leaves off its body, so it is advised to use a Nail hit and not waste SOUL on the first attack. Afterwards, it flees quickly away from the Knight, so it is best to follow up with a Spell such as Vengeful Spirit/Shade Soul or by using the Dash Slash Nail Art. It is necessary to kill the small bug within as that is the only way to prevent it from re-forming into the bush.

The Knight can hit the Moss Charger just before it reaches the edge of a platform to either throw it into the acid or make the Charger stuck if it lands without enough platform to burrow back into.

On a long and flat platform, the sight of small leaves flying into the air even when the Knight is not on it is usually the telltale sign of the presence of a Moss Charger.
