If you could have any classic DOOM monster as a pet, what would it be?

I was going to say cacodemon but it'd fly or burn itself out of the cage. In fact, they'd all kill me in real life. I'll pass :)

Oh, no, I made this thread meaning if there's a doom pet you could have, it'll be tamed too. They won't kill you on purpose, if anything, they'll kill you if someone's tryna hurt you but the Cacodemon is right behind you. That's how all infights start

"I'm not pretending kid and technically it's not a dog, it's a demon from hell"

"Ah you loser let me kick your imaginary dog! Here!"

CHOMP!

"Hey where is my son?"

"Good lady, I think it was just eaten by my invisible imaginary dog"

That answer is just TOO perfect.

Arch viles can't revive humans as evidenced by the fact that they ignore dead doomguy corpses, so that one's off the table. How smart are the various former humans/sergeants? How obedient are they? What are the legal bumps I'd face here? because a zombie slave sounds pretty awesome.

Thats actually a misconception. 

 

How does one actually adopt a demon? You don't step into a pet shop down the street. Instead you must summon the demon. The Archvile is a prime example of which the ancient Sumerian's were particularly aware of. The Archvile was depicted constantly in their carvings and statues. You know what I'm talking about, you've seen these marble green monoliths. The purpose of this iconography was to venerate such beings because the creatures are incredibly vain (Barons included). 

 

So these are the requirements to invoke the Archvile.

 

Find a dark and quiet location. You'll need to find a flat surface, a floor for example, and draw a five-pointed star with the finest chalk. Place a candle on each of the stars points. Place an offering of your choice in the center of the star, this will be considered as a treat by the demon. I used a delicious Goo Goo Cluster, a Mars bar works  too. Just don't offer a stick of carrot or you'll end up being devoured by the demon.

 

Now get down on both knees and stretch out both arms like your an airplane (don't make plane noises) and stare up at the ceiling with a clear mind and begin to chant.

 

Spirit of the vile remember!

I call to the demons from beyond the stars to remember!

Shub-Niggurath, the black goat of the woods with a thousand young remember!

Baphoment, the Icon of Sin, the caretaker of all demons remember!

In the name of the unholy covenant  sworn between thee and the race of men, I call to thee to remember!

 

To the *demon in which I summon.

I desire your company.

I will feed you.

I promise pats on the head and tummy tickles.

I promise you balls of yarn and frisbees.

 

*Name of Doom demon you wish to summon

 

Once the invocation is complete you will notice the air become heavy, the temperature will drop, and the atmosphere will feel oppressive. Do not fear, the gateway between here and there has opened. You will feel a presence nearby. DO NOT MOVE OR MAKE A NOISE.

 

You will smell a terrible odor, you will detect movement, and in my case, the crinkling of the Goo Goo Cluster wrapper being undone. You will hear it feeding and once it is satisfied it will approach you as a loyal pet. Treat it with respect, and it will respect you. Don't worry about giving it shots, demons cant be infected by disease etc. They are immortal, only killed through violence. Plus we know that their essence is returned to the void only to be reforged and recast into a new form.

 

And dont worry about spaying or neutering them, demons don't reproduce sexually. They are thought into existence by the black goat of the woods, who herself, was also thought into existence by even higher forces. You get the idea.

 

In the case of the Archvile, if you have trained it properly it will be loyal to you. And should you find yourself in a situation where you die, the Archvile will resurrect you.

Well Doomguy and the other marines are their enemy so perhaps they just choose not to revive his corpse.

Wonderful and eye-opening information from both of you. Especially you Ex Oblivione, very informative. I might need to make a video walkthrough demonstrating this ritual to help others!

You might get some revenue from that

[mrthejoshmon]

You just had to make it classic didn't you, there goes my dream of a Bruiser guard dog...

 

I'd probably have a buff boy Hell Knight with me, he'd be like your dumb strong friend you do stupid shit with.

Yes. Yes I did.

Hiya!

 

Hmmm... Toss up for me between an Archvile (I can get resurrected?...AND...I can get him to blow people up? Hellz yeah!), and either a Cacodemon, or 4 Lost Souls. Yeah yeah, you said 'a' pet, but c'mon...having 4 lost souls would let me put chain harnesses over them that would suspend an iron throne that I would sit on and they could float me around! I could do that with the Cacodemon, but they have that rather ominous looking, uh, "backside hole" that would be a little too close for comfort, "business" wise. Plus, where I live, it's dark, cold and snowy most of the year...so having 4 continuous flaming skulls would be rather handy!

 

 

[ShoDemo]

Doom monster as a pet, eh?

 

I think there would be 3 choices for me:

1) Caco. He is the most adorable Doom monster and if I can climb over him, I can fly anywhere I want. Plus he has a good ranged attack too.

2) Arch-vile. Personal doctor, hard to kill, with a powerful attack and really agile.

3) Hell Knight. Since he is grey, he has potential to camouflage pretty much anywhere, though as a towering behemoth he will eventually be seen, he will scare everyone who manages to see him and he has good defense and offense, if he should get in a fight.

[Xegethra]

I'd go for an Imp, he looks like he might be down for a night out on the town.

[ReX]

The one with opposable thumbs.

 

Oh, wait. You said “pet”, not “manservant”. In that case, something that’s low maintenance and will make me look good. Like a Lost Soul on a leash.

[Starkiller]

If I can have a classic Doom monster for a pet, obviously the Cacodemon. It's creepy-cute grin and one green eye, as well with it's funny noise when it dies, sounds good to me.

 

If not, maybe the Arachnotron, because it is literally a baby Spiderdemon.

But, if the monster's attack is possible to happen when it is angry or scared (like in a new situation or something), then I think I would probably not want a doom monster as a pet.

 

Better be careful with them plasma balls man! They can like, literally burn you to tidbits!

[GSG95]

I want a Revenant. I think they're goofy as heck. Me and my Revenant will be the spookiest kids in town.

[Solmyr]

A pet Pain Elemental, but larger than normal so i can ride it and fly to wherever i want to.

On Halloween you get ALL the candy with your Revenant by your side when trick-or-treating! And if you hand out candy, you can keep it all because NOBODY will be brave enough to take some! That thing is TOO spoopy and scaery!

Romero's head on a stick would be a strange choice.

It'll giv infinite pets tho

[SYS]

And how are you going to take care of that many? Or are you going to neglect them like a Tomagotchi and let the archviles bring them back after they starve to death? What about Romero? He's going to be speaking backwards begging you for pizza and you won't even understand him. 

[Deleted_Account]

I think having John Romero as a pet would require lots of maintenance.

I know how to reverse sound clips

and those infinite pets? how will I take care of them? I'll get a truckload of guts and MTN DEW and say "Dig in!" 

If I couldn't reverse sound clips I wouldn't know that the Icon of Sin says "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero." All I must do is get a recorder and ask him to say it again and then I will reverse it and giv him pizza.

[Mithral_Demon]

IF allowed 2, I got the Baron of Hell in sights as a choice. Big bruiser, fairly smart (or competant enough to read) due to their excess libraries, great to spar with in all honesty if it's following the no-kill.
But the other would be Spider Mastermind. Huge, yes, but if there's one thing that would scare everything, it'd be that. Allow me to ponder it's knowledge, progress into demon-tech and eventually make a near no-fuel required movement (jetpack, floating and speed in general). That an it'd be nice for it to create a few arachnotrons along the way for guarding.

If it remotely counts as a classic doom monster, you can have whatever you fucking want

[Phoby]

Mancubus. I could use him as a beanbag.

[Knee Deep In The Fan]

A Revenant and teach to play a trumpet.
