Blitzsteeds are minor enemies in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, Shovel Knight Dig and in the Puzzler's Pack DLC of Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon. They appear as red haired, light blue mechanical horses on wheels holding a jousting lance. They are light brown instead in Shovel Knight Dig and have an exhaust pipe on the back.

(1) health point and deal 1 damage point. They appear in the Smeltworks and Drill Knight's Castle in specific stage layouts.
Pocket Dungeon[]
In Pocket Dungeon, Blitzsteeds are Legendary Path foes in Pridemoor Keep and are also spawned by Mr. Hat during his boss fight.
