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 codex leads with its eye: a single luminous stare that the manuscripts say pierces the mind rather than the flesh. It takes its name from Lovecraft's last published story, where the thing is bound by light and freed by darkness.
Standing orders
No published HP. The threat it poses is to your sanity rather than your health bar, which makes light discipline and the counters on the sanity guide more relevant than ammunition.

Haunter of the Dark questions
How much HP does the Haunter of the Dark have in The Mound?
Nobody has produced a reliable HP measurement for the Haunter of the Dark. We leave it blank rather than guess — treat it as a threat to avoid rather than a fight to budget for.
