Horf

12.0

This article is about the enemy. For the pill effect, see Pills.

Horfs are disembodied human heads with their eyes gouged out. Horfs remain immobile in one spot, firing blood shots at Isaac when he gets in their range. They will fire shots directly at Isaac when they're about 1/2 room width away from them, even though their shots can travel the entire room's length. This makes it possible to outrange the Horfs in almost all encounters with them; even if you're in range, they have a slow rate of fire and their shots are slow-traveling as well, and can be dodged simply by moving slightly to the side.

Psychic Horfs behave similar to Horfs, but they shoot homing shots instead of blood shots. Unlike a Psychic Maw, it does not possess an Eternal Fly.

Trivia

• Mega Maw resembles a Psychic Horf.

Trivia

• Maws and Psychic Maws appear to be the posthumous versions of Horfs and Psychic Horfs, as their attacks are similar. Plus, Maws appear to be rotting Horfs.

Bugs

Bug! If a Horf or Psychic Horf is stunned, feared, or frozen at the same time that it tries to shoot Isaac after the effect wears off, its shot will be fired without its corresponding animation.
