The Hollow is the posthumous version of the boss Larry Jr. that spawns in the Catacombs.

BehaviorEdit

It consists of two enemies; each flies diagonally across the screen.

The movement of the boss resembles that of Fistula, though each segment can change the angle at which it bounces around the room, making dodging more difficult. The segments can be damaged and destroyed individually like with Larry Jr., which causes piercing tears to be very effective against him. If the room is filled with rocks, players may find themselves having a hard time dodging the Hollow, as the rocks will block player's movement (unless the player can fly), while the Hollow can fly over them.

It seems that The Hollow has a higher chance of appearing if you've killed Larry Jr before.

Champion Variants Edit

Gold Edit

Each segment drops a coin when destroyed.

Black Edit

Each segment spawns a Boom Fly when destroyed.

Green Edit

Shoots a row of three bullets as an additional attack. Each segments spawns a Charger when destroyed.

Gallery Edit

BugsEdit

If you are killed by The Hollow, he will have the same Game Over picture as Larry Jr.
Sometimes the green varient of The Hollow will use Larry Jr.'s head sprite when shooting bullets.
When the head of the Hollow spawns, the guts of a Host will be visible underneith, but will disappear after the smoke fades.

TriviaEdit

Its appearance seems to be another reference to Larries Lament, a boss from Super Meat Boy, another of Edmund McMillen's games.
