What it actually takes to kill
The multiplier is the number that matters. At 1.5×, this creature takes more damage than its health bar suggests — 170 HP behaves like roughly 113. It dies far faster than it looks.
In practical terms: about 2 shots from a Flintlock Musket — the 66-damage ceiling weapon, so treat that as the best case. With a Crossbow at 40 damage it's about 3, and every one of those shots is silent.
That puts it 4 of 14 by raw HP among the creatures anyone has managed to measure.
Standing orders
170 HP at 1.5× — the tank that isn't. Aim centre mass and it folds in about two shots.

Brute Undead questions
How much HP does the Brute Undead have in The Mound?
170 HP, and it takes 1.5× damage — so the effective pool is closer to 113. These are community measurements cross-checked against the 1.0 build; the game never shows you a health bar with numbers on it.
How do you kill the Brute Undead?
About 2 Flintlock Musket shots at 66 damage, or 3 crossbow bolts at 40. The crossbow is slower but silent, which usually matters more than the extra shots — gunfire winds the forest's awakening timer.
