Gahlia

Floral foe with a core shaped to mimic a mask. The core can be thrust forth to bludgeon unwary bugs.

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 20 HP, and a hit for the needle's own damage (crest attacks multiply it first).
