The imps that first appeared in the first part of 1993 are the weakest demons. In most games in the series, it is their hero who is one of the first to meet. They do not pose a big threat, without any problems they are killed by a shot from a shotgun point-blank.

Like a demon

Kakodemony also first appeared in the very first part of Doom. These flying demonic heads spit clots of energy and bite the main character if they get close. If you do not let them in and shoot them at a distance, they do not do much harm.

Elemental of pain

The elementals of pain, resembling cacodemons in appearance, appeared in two main parts of the series – in Doom 2: Hell of Earth and Doom Eternal. These are the same one-eyed flying monsters with spherical bodies, only with forelimbs. More dangerous than a fellow – primarily because of the ability to create lost souls.

Dead soldier

Soldiers who fell under the influence of the forces of hell threatened Doomgai in the first Doom. Since then, they have appeared in every major part of the series, including Doom Eternal.

A huge skeleton with a portable rocket launcher placed on its shoulders appeared in Doom 2: Hell on Earth and in the same awesome form reached Doom Eternal. A dangerous opponent, quick, agile and extremely annoying, if you do not understand him in time.

Mancubus

A huge carcass with two powerful cannons instead of both hands is, of course, Mancubus. Despite the fact that this demon is clumsy and not protected by anything, it poses a serious danger. One has only to be distracted by a smaller shootout in demons, when a couple of shells from Mancubus cannons arrive in Dumgaya.

Kicks

Familiar from the 1993 game, the “tank” is a persistent and armored demon that simply runs onto the hero and rams it, resulting in huge damage. In the early games of the series, the main thing is to keep him close to Dumgai. In Doom Eternal, it’s better to get around and do as much damage as possible to his back.

Baron of Hell

A huge horned demon, three times higher than Dumgai. In new games, he rushes frantically around the arena and tries to get to the main character to strike him in melee. In the early games of the series he behaved much calmer, but he remained as dangerous.

Almost 27 years have passed since the world saw the very first part of Doom. During this time, technology and the approach to game design have changed markedly, but the demons in the cult series have remained just as creepy and dangerous. The way the game engines from id studio changed, the appearance of the opponents of Dumgai also changed: they went from modest models of a few pixels to high-poly and really scary monsters. You can see the final stage of their evolution in Doom Eternal.
