King Crawler is a miniboss that is fought at the end of Pyrefly Forest. It is actually a parasite that lives inside the husks of deceased Sprout Moles.

It can later be refought in the Boss Rush if on the Omori route, although its stats will be buffed significantly.

Battle

King Crawler will not behave any differently when Happy or Sad, only when Angry.

Throughout the battle, King Crawler will attempt to summon Lost Sprout Moles to eat. Omori and his team must defeat the Moles before the King Crawler eats them; if it succeeds in eating them, it will heal itself by 170 and turn itself Happy.

King Crawler will notably never miss: It has a hit rate of 200%.

As with most enemies, its behavior largely depends on its current emotion:

Trivia

Its "consume" action is actually two separate skills, one that kills the friendly target called "Consume Ally" and another called "Consume Recover", that will recover its heart and turn it happy.
It is also called "Sprout Mole Eater" in some of the game files.
