    Item ID

From the game's damage formula; strength and upgrades not included. In the code (weaponInfo.OnTriggerEnter) a normal swing sends int(weaponDamage) and a heavy / combo hit sends int(weaponDamage) × 3; the chainsaw halves weaponDamage first against this type, in both cases; projectiles do their stored damage. This type takes the damage as it is (EnemyHealth.HitReal).

Where the Armsy spawns

The files place 13 Armsy in caves, in 8 places. A count is the capacity of the fixed spawners, as on the map. Bring the weapons above before you go in; the map shows every spawner.

Health

Health of the Armsy by condition

Code note: console spawns with spawnMutants.pale=false, oldMutant=false -> the 200 branch; 65 = oldMutant, 250 = pale.

Prefab health stored on male_creepy: 100. The spawn code overwrites it, so it is not what the enemy has in play.

Notes on the numbers

The game files give no English name for any enemy type (0 of 12). Armsy is the label the cave pages use; the game's own id is armsy (prefab male_creepy, EnemyType creepyArmsy).

The Girl mutant (girlMutant) is not a spawnable type; the files give 370 health on its prefab.
