    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 Virginia spawns

The files place 6 Virginia in caves, in 5 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 Virginia by condition

Code note: 175 = normal, 225 = pale.

Prefab health stored on female_creepy: 120. 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). Virginia is the label the cave pages use; the game's own id is vags (prefab female_creepy, EnemyType creepySpiderLady).

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