Behavior and Tactics[]
Treasure Trove[]
In Treasure Trove, the Dinghy Dropper has a total of 
(16) health points, making it nearly as resistant than a stage boss, and deals 
1 damage point.
The boat moves towards its enemy by rising, and then falls abruptly whilst dropping two bombs. The ground shock can stun anyone standing on it when the boat falls. The bombs can be bounced over to the Dinghy to damage it. It is only vulnerable from the left and right sides.
In both Shovel of Hope and Plague of Shadows, the Dinghy Dropper is fought in a open and flat room. In Specter of Torment, three platforms were added on which the Dropper lands. This allows Specter Knight to Dash Slash it from below the platforms.
Pocket Dungeon[]

Every few turns, the Dinghy Dropper takes flight and flies to the top left of the board, then moves to the right. Which each move, it spawns a Hoverhaft, for a total of 8. Then it lands somewhere on the board.
The Dinghy Dropper has 10 health points and deals 
1 damage point per contact. It can only appear once per stage.
