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 it actually takes to kill
The multiplier is the number that matters. At 2×, this creature takes more damage than its health bar suggests — It dies far faster than it looks.
Standing orders
Takes 2× damage — the problem was never killing it, it is telling it apart from your crew. Proximity voice and a shared callsign beat any amount of firepower here. The launch update improved its behaviour, so old advice may not hold.

Doppelganger questions
How much HP does the Doppelganger have in The Mound?
Nobody has produced a reliable HP measurement for the Doppelganger. We leave it blank rather than guess — treat it as a threat to avoid rather than a fight to budget for.
How do you spot a Doppelganger in The Mound?
Not by looking. It takes double damage once you commit, so the hard part is identification — crews use proximity voice checks and agreed callsigns. Sanity effects make your own eyes the unreliable instrument.
