Doom Guide › Bestiary

Cacodemon

When a Cacodemon senses the presence of the living, it hunts them tenaciously until it gets close enough to gnaw on them with an impressive set of mandibles. To aid the hunt, the Cacodemon has a psychoactive narcotic bile that it spews at range. On contact, this bile inhibits the perception of the target and compromises movement. The effects wear off after a few moments, but this is often just enough time for the lumbering beast to get within bite range.

First Appearance Kadingir Sanctum
Health 2000
Type Aerial (rush)
Strengths/Weaknesses The Cacodemon’s eye is not as sturdy as the rest of its body and takes additional damage when struck. Defeating a Cacodemon by destroying its eye causes it to freak out and fire uncontrollably at nearby allies until it expends all of its energy and collapses to the ground.
Behavior Cacodemons chase after the player and try to eat them. While their ultimate goal is a melee finisher, these creatures have a potent ranged attack that impair their quarry and make it easier to chomp them.
Restrictions N/A
