    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; projectiles do their stored damage. In the code (EnemyHealth.HitReal) a knocked-down cannibal takes double damage and a sleeping one loses a flat 100; the counts leave both out.

Notes on the numbers

The game files give no English name for any enemy type (0 of 12). Skinny cannibal (female) is built from the game's type id; the game's own id is female_skinny (prefab mutant_female, EnemyType skinnyFemale).

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