Strange encoding of hp 2 creatures. 
Only DS creatures have a similar encoding

So the implication here is Malbatross and Ancient Sentrypede were at one point meant for solo? Even if it's true, so what? Does it matter?

Potential unimplemented hp scaling maybe.

It is cool.

Looks to me the start hp was 2500 and 400 for each

Then after testing they buff the health by 2 and by 3 times but kept the initial health as a reference instead of overriding it. Or just lazily did * 2 & 3 instead lf having to retype it out... lol

2500 hp ? Did they seriously want to make a giant boss with Spider Queen hp for multiplayer ? It sounds unrealistic

Yes, it's interesting. Maybe Klei don't plan it, but sometimes they think about it and leave secrets for the players.

And it is useful for Automatic Health Adjust mode.

2500 hp seems unusual for a boss.

Probably the fact you are fighting the boss on a boat. Not much kiting space. 

Malbatross could of started as a mini-boss like the spider queen or treeguard before becoming a true giant boss.

I meant for dst.

Assuming it's to reduce the line of code and have same amount of hp to set bosses and just adding the multiplication for the sake of simplicity or something. I'm not a coder, this doesn't make sense to me nor I think for anyone that's not a coder or modder.

I doubt its related to player scaling because its all still in one value.  Player scaling would have separate values for the base and the scaler.
