A Forknight usually walks around, wielding its own large fork, and (accidentally) hurts the player if touched from the front at a speed less than Mach 3.
Forknight walks back and forth on the ground, turning at ledges and walls. Its fork is held in front of it as it walks, hurting the player on direct contact. To avoid this damage, the player must either attack it from any other angle, or cause it to enter its stunned or scared animations by bumping into its harmless sides or dashing towards it at Mach 3 or higher respectively, making the fork temporarily harmless. However, the fork doesn't take up its entire front; a small jump can allow the player to avoid the fork and still hit it.

Forknight takes two weak attacks to defeat, but like most other enemies, stronger moves such as a Mach 3 dash or a throw will defeat it instantly. Under high [[Heat Meter]] levels, Forknight will turn on a small orange jetpack on its backside and use it to dash towards the player if they are in the way. The dash attack covers a somewhat short distance, but Forknight can turn around and use it if the player is behind them.

This article does not meet the wiki's guidelines.
You can the wiki help by editing it.
Reason: A few file names in the Gallery do not follow being "Wiki appropriate." and needs to be fixed.
