This category displays only the monsters which are based on similar Heretic/Hexen monsters or fit better in Heretic/Hexen-style settings. This doesn't mean that you can't place them into Doom or Strife maps / mods as well, it is only meant as a little style guide and help.

Similar to Hexen's Bishop, the Acolyte fires a series of weak, slightly-homing projectiles. It can also speed around very quickly for a short period of time. They are very weak, however, and it doesn't take much to take one down.

Description


The Avatar is meant to be used as a mini-boss. It has several attacks; a stream of fireballs; a large globe of energy that continually fragments into smaller orbs on contact; a large, homing projectile; and a wave of lightning. It's best placed in areas that have just enough cover to defend against its attacks, and it has enough health to last a while.

Enchanted gems, crafted by the Serpent Rider's sorcerous minions. The hex prism is a brittle purple crystal, containing swirling necrotic energies. When an enemy approaches, these energies are focused into deadly orbs that are then released with swift, deadly effect.

This is an immobile, turret type enemy. When the target is within sight and range (1024 map units) it will fire a steady stream of purple projectiles. Useful for setting up traps, guarding doors, chokepoints, keys etc. Toggle the FRIENDLY flag for some helpful defensive firepower.

Description


The Apprentice of D'Sparil is a more powerful variant of Heretic's Disciple of D'Sparil. Rather than firing orbs of energy, however, it fires small meteors. It can also go invisible and invulnerable for a short period of time, during which it fires a few rounds of meteors in succession. It doesn't do a lot of damage, but it's hard to hit and takes a beating before dying.
