Line 2:
Here's the characters of Doom series:
== The
{{quote|Also known as "[[Fan Nickname|Doomguy]]". In the original ''Doom'', he's a nameless marine sent to do grunt work on Mars after an incident over not wanting to kill innocent people on Earth causes him to lash out against his commanding officer. During his [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here|dull-as-dirt assignment]], it seems the scientists of the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) are conducting experiments with teleporters when everything falls to pieces. One of Mars' moons and a UAC outpost, Deimos, completely vanishes into the ether while another, Phobos, is immediately overrun by [[The Legions of Hell]]. Everyone is either slaughtered or converted into minions of the invaders. The marine dispatches to Phobos, where he proceeds to clean up the situation as brutally as possible. During his one-man war against the forces of Hell, he discovers what became of Deimos (ended up floating above Hell itself) and then treks down to the surface of Hell to finish the job.}}
Line 25:
* [[Space Marine]]: [[Trope Maker|The man who started it all.]]
* [[Sure Why Not]]: Out of all the nicknames and made up names, Doomguy seems to be the one which the creators have at least accepted as a Half-[[Canon Name]], as it got numerous nods and actually ''appeared'' as the Marine's name in THPS3.
== Enemies ==
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
=== Zombies ===
{{quote|When Hell first breaks loose in ''
* [[Everything's Deader with Zombies]]
Line 57 ⟶ 56:
{{quote|Hell's own soldiers. Monsters who are capable of throwing fireballs, Imps are the lowest level of demon that lead the charge for the forces that follow.}}
* [[Black Eyes of Evil]]: Has ten of them in its Doom 3 incarnation.
* [[Body Horror]]: It's Doom 3 version is skinless when it appears in [[Hell]]. Averted in non Hell areas, where it has a dark grayish flesh covering its body.
* [[Fangs Are Evil]]
* [[Fireballs]]
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Standard to the Doom (2016) version. They glow red in the classic games as well.
* [[The Goomba]]
* [[Mooks]]: Hell seems to have a nigh-unlimited supply of Imps; expect to see them more than every other Demon combined.
* [[No Sneak Attacks]]: Imps have a tendency to helpfully screech and alert you to their presence ''before'' attacking.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: On their shoulders.
** Absent in the Doom 3 version. The Doom (2016) version has a subtler take on the trope, with the spikes being closer in tone to the rest of it's body and not as prominent.
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: Their other attacks that don't involve fireballs utilize these.
=== Demon (a.k.a. "Pinky") and Spectre ===
Line 70 ⟶ 74:
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Take a lot of cues from dogs, with their attacks and growls being very attack dog like.
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: All they know how to do is run at you and bite.
* [[Cyborg]]: The Doom 3 version has back legs that are mechanical.
* [[Heavily Armored Mook]]: The pinkies in ''Doom'' (2016) have heavy armor plating on the front, which they use to charge at you.
* [[Invisibility Cloak]]: For Spectre.
* [[Palette Swap]]: Spectre is this for the Pinky, being the same monster but with an [[Invisibility Cloak]].
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]; The 2016 version is far more resilient and agile than its older counterpart.
=== Lost Soul ===
Line 83 ⟶ 90:
=== Cacodemon ===
{{quote|Floating blobs of flesh with a single eye, horns, and a nasty maw. ''Doom 3'' redesigned the Cacodemons to look more like Pain Elementals, but they're similar to the older variety in gameplay. The 2016 version looks much more like its original counterpart}}
* [[Fireballs]].
* [[Mascot Mook]]
* [[Plagiarism]]: The original version is a straight up ripoff of a piece of [[Dungeons & Dragons]] art. Specifically, it was cropped and slightly altered from the original image.
* [[Slasher Smile]] / [[Technically a Smile]]: Constant one at that.
Line 100 ⟶ 108:
* [[Asteroids Monster]]: They release three more Lost Souls upon death.
* [[Demonic Spider]]: Largely considered this by most of the fanbase. Only the Archvile is more maligned than the Pain Elemental.
* [[Mook Maker]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|Red Eye, Take Warning]]
Line 112 ⟶ 121:
{{quote|Really fat demons with fireball cannons for arms.}}
* [[Arm Cannon]]: Two of them. Gets two more in its 2016 cybernetic incarnation.
* [[Cyborg]]: The 2016 version of Doom offers these upgrades to the original, which are much harder to kill.
** [[Cyber Cyclops]]: By extension.
* [[Cyclops]]: The 2016 version.
* [[Fat Bastard]]
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Slow, but their durability and damage output can be frightening.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: The reason they have cybernetic limbs? The UAC thought it would be a great idea to capture a mancubus, then try to make it even MORE deadly.
=== Arachnotron ===
Line 129 ⟶ 142:
* [[Boss in Mook Clothing]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]: [[Hell Is That Noise|The way he lets you know]] [[Oh Crap|how much you are screwed]].
* [[Demonic Spider]]: By and large the most dangerous non-boss demon you'll encounter. Almost unavoidable attack? Check. Large amounts of HP? Check. Capable of bringing back other demons? Check. There's a reason why most players will just use the [[BFG (weapon)|BFG]] on them the moment they see one.
* [[Heal It with Fire]]: The way he resurrects his fellows.
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: How he deals with you. The fire doesn't hurt you, it only marks the place for the explosion he'll cause.
Line 151 ⟶ 165:
* [[Contractual Boss Immunity]]: To splash damage. This effectively gives it nearly 70 percent resistance to the player's rockets.
* [[I Am a Humanitarian]]
* [["Wake
=== Icon of Sin ===
Line 209 ⟶ 223:
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: In the final cutscene, he demands that the marine gives him the Artifact. The marine {{spoiler|shoves the Artifact down the Maledict's throat, killing him almost instantly.}}
* [[Contractual Boss Immunity]]: Inverted; his attacks cut through ''your'' invulnerability if you try to use the Artifact.
* [[Final Boss, New Dimension]]
* [[Flunky Boss]]: He likes to summon a lot of [[Goddamn Bats|Forgotten Ones]].
* [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose]]: After his health is depleted, the fight immediately switches to a cutscene where he knocks the player's marine on his ass.
