Abyssal Follower of Cthulhu is a regular crew mob in The Dark Cathedral with two Drowned variants. Both carry tridents and use a custom appearance, but their combat stats and powers are not identical.
The standard area variant is tougher and comes with three immunities. The surprise variant is lighter on health and damage and carries no listed powers.

How to Beat It
Against the area variant, skip projectile and fire-based plans because both are explicitly covered by its immunities. Knockback will not move it either, so the clean answer is to fight around those protections instead of repeatedly testing whether the third arrow has developed a better attitude.
The surprise variant has lower health and damage multipliers and none of those listed powers. It is still a trident-carrying Drowned, but it does not bring the area variant’s defensive package.
