No community measurement for this one yet. Bosses and several of the unkillable horrors have never produced a reliable HP figure — we leave the field empty rather than invent one.
What the codex says
The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young is one of Lovecraft's oldest inventions, and the Dark Young are her offspring — tree-like horrors of hooves and tentacles. Their appearance here is straight mythos, not invention.
Standing orders
No measured HP, no measured multiplier. What is consistent in reports is that this is not a fight a standard loadout wins — it is an encounter you survive by leaving. Treat it as a run-ender and route around it.
