Hämis
Hämis (listen 
) (Plural Hämikset (listen ), also known as Spidey) is a small, but aggressive three-legged critter that clip together and can deal a moderate amount of melee damage.
Behavior
Hämikset are often found in packs, sometimes up to 7-8 at once. Packs also spawn from breakable pots in the Pyramid and Temple of the Art. Their numbers might make them somewhat annoying to deal with, as their corpses and gold nugget drops will block your shots when they are packed tightly together.
Hämikset can sometimes be observed consuming corpses.
They can also be found spawning from nests, usually located in the Fungal Caverns. Like other enemies spawned from nests, they will drop no gold. They can also be spawned from broken pots in the Temple of the Art.
Charmed Hämis can be summoned from Chilly Eggs when broken.
Since these enemies are often found in packs, using explosive crates/barrels on them can be a good way to get money at the beginning of your run, as "accidental" kills will yield double gold. Due to their low health, fire from dropped lanterns is also effective for this, as they will jump in panic ignoring you.
Trivia
- These enemies appear to be the juvenile form of the Lukki and Hämähäkki found in the Jungle as indicated by their three eyes and spider-like appearance.
- It should be noted that Hämis can spawn in the Temple of the Art, perhaps alluding to having a role in the creation of Kolmisilmä.
- Hämis look similar in appearance to one type of enemy in the game Environmental Station Alpha, a metroidvania by Arvi Teikari, who is a part of Nolla Games.
- hämis is a Finnish children's word for a spider (hämähäkki), like "spooder" or "spidey" in English.
- Hämis is cool. Hämis our beloved. This is the greatest Hämis of all time 👍
- Any Charmed Hämikset can be pet by pressing the interact key while near them, causing a pink heart to appear alongside of an animation of the Hämis blinking. There is a 5% chance of them exploding when pet, which counts as a trick kill.
