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 — 120 HP behaves like roughly 60. It dies far faster than it looks.
In practical terms: about 1 shot 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 2, and every one of those shots is silent.
That puts it 6 of 14 by raw HP among the creatures anyone has managed to measure.
Standing orders
120 HP at 2× damage taken, so it dies to roughly one musket round despite the health bar. A servant that punishes hesitation more than it punishes aggression.

Transmuter questions
How much HP does the Transmuter have in The Mound?
120 HP, and it takes 2× damage — so the effective pool is closer to 60. 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 Transmuter?
About 1 Flintlock Musket shot at 66 damage, or 2 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.
