What would you call the Doom monsters in your early Doom career?

Recommended Posts

For most of us, there was a time when we did not talk about imps and cacodemons. We did not know the proper names that id had made up for the foes you encounter in Doom. In 1995, a friend and I started to play Doom and we made up our own names for the demons that we encountered, so we could talk about the game. These were funny names that we made up. Later, the official list of names could be looked at at the end of doom2 and in the manuals (that we did not have at that time). As for our old names:

Zombie Man - Zombie

Shotgun Guy - Zombie (we did not realize that there were two sorts of Zombies at first)

Imp - Brown Mutant

Demon - (Pink) Dog

Spectre - Invisible Dog

Lost Soul - Devil´s head

Cacodemon - Killer Tomato

Baron of Hell - Slime Thrower

Spider MM. - Spider

Cyberdemon - Rocket Launcher (this was the first demon that we eventually called properly, as in the ending text it says "the loathsome cyberdemon lord..bla bla"

[
Edit: As for the doom2 monsters:

Heavy weapon dude - fat zombie
Hell Knight - bright slime thrower
Pain Elemental - devil´s head spitter
Revenant - giant skeleton
Mancubus - fatso or fat flamethrower
Arachnotron - small spider
Arch Vile - I don´t remember, ghost or something
demon spitter - end boss
]

Anyone of you made up their own names?

I sometimes think of an Archvile as a Dimensional Shambler for some reason.

That is all I remember. The next time I played, I had a manual, so I had to learn the names.

I used to call Cacodemons "Carpets" before I knew their actual name. 'Cause I thought from a distance they kinda resembled floating red circular rugs?! meh...

Oh yeah, and in Doom64 I called the zombie guys "Forrest Gump" Not because I didn't know their name, but because I didn't particularly care for Doom64 and they kinda looked like him...but with green hair!

I used to call Mancubuses fatsoes, and then I called them Cody (a really fat kid that used to live in my neighborhood) when I moved to Ohio.

I think my brother still calls Cacos pumpkin demons to this day. :)

Well I read the manual before the game, but I've always had a habit of calling the Spider Mastermind the Spider Demon, probably from using Dehacked too much. I remember getting into an argument with someone on another forum over his name.

Llamatron99:
We called imps wookies

Hey, me too. I used to believe they were covered in fur... but I'm not so sure anymore...

I called the Baron "Big Bad Ass" because that's what they are called after you finishing E1.

Well I only had Shareware, but I still read the manual so I knew what was in the registered version. However I always thought the Barons of Hell were something else that was non-shareware, so I thought of them as horse-dudes. The spectres I just referred to as demons.

I used to call the Demons "pigs" (Cause they snort when you kill them -- Imps on the PSX version, my first, don't grunt when idle) and pretty much everything else by their real names -- I'd read the manual, but playing PSX Doom to "March of the PIgs" by NiN was pretty cool on certain "pig"-laden stages :D

hmmm .... maybe a port could say that, but I'm sure I've seen "at the DOS prompt" lately.
