Hover Meanies are minor enemies in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove. They blow air to push their target, which does not deal damage but will often cause the player to fall into spikes or pits. They appear in the Flying Machine, Tower of Fate: Entrance, Tower of Fate: Ascent, and the Mysterious Area. However, the blue ones can be helpful because they blow the player upwards, which actually makes them more helpful than annoying as this can help the player traverse over hazards such as bottomless pits.
Variants[]
Green Hover Meanies[]
Green Hover Meanies are the most common enemies on the Flying Machine and are very frustrating to deal with near Cannonballs and bottomless pits. They blow the player to one side (except for the ones found in the Mysterious Area, which are able to blow the player in four different directions). They have only two hit points.
Blubber Meanies[]
Blubber Meanies are exclusive to King of Cards. They are a larger, more rotund variant of the Green Hover Meanie, just as Sumo Goldarmors are to normal Goldarmors. In addition to blowing the player around, Blubber Meanies can also slam their bodies into the ground to try and crush the player. They have four hit points.
