    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 Fat mutant spawns

The files place 4 Fat mutant in caves, in 3 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.

All 12 enemy types

Health

Health of the Fat mutant by condition
Condition in the codeFormulaNormalHard / Hard Survival
No health written at spawnprefab Health = 200200200

Code note: setFatCreepy has no Health write; no contact-damage expression in enemyWeaponMelee (fatCreepyCharger radius/power instead).

Prefab health stored on mutant_creepy_fat: 200. The spawn code writes no health for this type, so this value is what the enemy keeps, on every difficulty.

Contact damage

The code has no contact-damage expression for this type: its hits are a charge (radius and power stored on the prefab), not a figure the files give.

Notes on the numbers

The game files give no English name for any enemy type (0 of 12). Fat mutant is the label the cave pages use; the game's own id is fat (prefab mutant_creepy_fat, EnemyType creepyFat).

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