Beastfly
Dancing around this simple creature as it charges back and forth is the sort of game I delighted in as a child. Alas, I now have more pressing matters to attend to.
Beastflies are enemies in Hollow Knight: Silksong. They are aggressive flies of Pharloom's lowlands that ram prey with their hardbone mask.[1]
Behaviour and Tactics
Will move towards Hornet when it sees her and then charges horizontally in a straight line. Beastflies may collide with the environment or with each other while charging.
Beastflies hover out of range before charging, but they can be jumped over and hit with downward attacks. They can also be baited into charging over Hornet's head, allowing her to hit them as they pass by.
Act 3
Black-threaded Beastflies have their health quadrupled. They can gain any of the standard void attacks.

Location
Beastflies can be found primarily in the Marrow, but they also appear in the Far Fields, Memorium, Deep Docks, and the Chapel of the Beast within Hunter's March, where they can also be summoned by a Savage Beastfly.
After clearing the gauntlet in the Marrow, a Beastfly appears upon revisiting the arena.
