What it actually takes to kill
In practical terms: about 3 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 5, and every one of those shots is silent.
That puts it 2 of 14 by raw HP among the creatures anyone has managed to measure.
What the codex says
It is routinely mistaken for landscape — a fallen thicket, a clutch of roots — until it stirs.
Standing orders
180 HP at 1×, so it is a real fight rather than a hopeless one: roughly three musket rounds. The danger is the 45 m sightline you walk into blind because you read it as scenery.
How it finds you
Detection runs on two separate senses and this creature's are uneven: sight 45 m. Breaking line of sight is the reliable move; brush works better than distance. Full detection notes are on the survival guide.

Crawling Canopy questions
How much HP does the Crawling Canopy have in The Mound?
180 HP, and it takes 1× damage. 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 Crawling Canopy?
About 3 Flintlock Musket shots at 66 damage, or 5 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.
