Thread Raker

Tall bug charged to pile Silk dregs in preparation for respooling. Their sharp rake now doubles equally well as a stabbing weapon.

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