    • Furthering this concept is that they appear to share attacks from both bosses.
    • Additionally, using Collectible Meat Cleaver iconMeat Cleaver against them splits them into their individual entities.
      • Hornfel as a result, is in his 2nd phase, where he cries and attempts to retreat from Isaac, similar to when Isaac breaks his minecart as a MinesMines boss. He is unable to leave the boss room and may even step onto the spikes present in one of the boss arenas.
      • Hornfel will only drop bomb pickups/items if Loki was killed first.
    • Their name in the boss VS screen also shows a bomb and a mark, representing both bosses.
  • In the Bestiary, they are referred to as "Horny Boys".
  • According to Edmund, Hornfel and Loki are siblings[1].
  • Their name may refer to the term used for being sexually aroused, being "horny".
