Deckhand is a regular dungeon mob in The Pirate Ship. It is a Pillager armed with a Crossbow, with a 1.5× health multiplier and a 1× damage multiplier.
It cannot be knocked back and ignores player projectile damage. Its hits also pull players toward it, which is a lovely little reversal when your plan was to create distance.

How to Beat It
Knockback will not move Deckhand, and player projectiles do not hurt it, so neither tactic solves the spacing problem. Its hits pull you inward with no cooldown, making repeated hits especially good at ruining distance.
Hard and Mythic add the every-8-seconds arrow attack. On Mythic, watch for crit particles under your feet and move before lightning hits that position 3 seconds later.
