what is the most original boss enemy in any doom wad? imo the final boss in community chest 2, the super secret boss in action doom (the way it gets killed at least), the boss in biowar, and probably some others i forgot.

Perhaps the Hammerhound, although I'm not sure if it's ever been used anywhere other than the demonstration wad.

Claust also had some insane boss fights due to the "spell" attacks... perhaps a subtle reference to the boss music used in the final battles against Mediel, but it certainly felt like "destruction rains from the heavens." ;)

EDIT: props also to the Action Doom bosses, including the playful Boxslug.

Batman Doom also had some very original bosses, including the Bane Fight, Killer Croc (Original "Pick up and throw monster"), and the Joker who uses 2 different attack methods. Also the Arkham Assylum with its Boss run level.

Edit, oh yes and Action Doom's Boxslug, Squidbeard, Mother Imp on the Chopper and the Secret Boss too :P

The word "boss" exclues most of the wads I have played.
I also exclude wads with only ripped gfx from other games,
since those bosses are professionally made.

I would say that the boxslug in "Scuba Steve's Action Doom" is the most original.

Bane in BATMAN DOOM TC.
#1 original-looking boss that I've seen for DOOM2.

The hammerhound would be my vote

I like the boss I made for Nimrod. That battle was real fun IMO. And in UV it's real hard. (it's protected by two "Arch demons")
