So you may have heard DOOM is one of the best shooters ever — and it’s true! But what’s a shooter without lots of baddies to shoot? This thread is about appreciating the cool creature designs that make up DOOM’s bestiary — many of which have been with us since the original. It feels good to see so many of them back in action!
Like the Mario series with its Goombas and Koopas, the DOOM series has plenty of iconic cannon fodder, and it’s neat to see how they’ve changed over the years. To refresh your memory, here’s what they looked like back in the day:
The Pain Elementals, Arachnotrons and Archvile are missing in action in the new DOOM, but the others all return (along with a new monster or two). I’ve taken shots of some of them in the model viewer, trying to showcase their different angles, textures, ect. For example, in one shot you can see the Cacodemon’s long, snake-like tongue!
Note that certain demons like the Lost Souls, Hell Razer and Specter don’t have entries in the model viewer (although they do have lore files). Also note I’m not posting pics of the Possessed, but feel free to discuss them, as well!
So, who’s your favorite monster? Which designs do you like the best? Which ones do you find the most fun to fight? Which ones changed for the better over the years — or for the worse? Discuss the demons!
