Wardenfly

Heavy, hairy jailer responsible for capturing sinners and punishing prisoners.

Needle hits to kill

Silksong multiplies every hit on this enemy by its own factor for your needle level (HealthManager damage scaling), so upgrades help here more or less than the raw damage suggests. For 70 HP, its most common HP and scaling, and a hit for the needle's own damage (crest attacks multiply it first).
