Little Horn (リトルホーン Ritoruhōn) is a boss added in the Afterbirth DLC. He is encountered in Chapter 1.
Description
Little Horn is smaller and similar to Loki both in design and somewhat in combat. He is grey-colored and sport with stubby limbs, short horns, red eyes, and a single sharp tooth from his bottom jaw.
He is always seen floating around the room.
Behavior
Little Horn constantly moves away from Isaac. He creates pits to throw regular or mega troll bombs into and causes them to randomly appear on screen. He also uses pits to randomly appear on screen. Little Horn may use a hole to relocate and leave a troll bomb in his place, he will do that many times. He spits smoking black balls to chase Isaac, the balls can be killed. He can create 3-5 moving pits that will hurt Isaac if he falls in one. Little Horn can also spawn one stationary hole that disappears after several seconds.
When Little Horn dies, he disappears into a hole in the floor with his red eyes flashing. The hole closes shortly after.
Notes
- Little Horn cannot summon holes if he is above the pits.
