Li'l devil Posted May 27, 2016 Ok, now let's pretend for a moment that we don't know and never known any official monster names, we never read manuals and we never looked at Doom 2 end monster showcase.. Then what names would you give to the monsters? Here's how i'd name them: 1) regular zombie (zombieman) 2) security guard zombie (shotgun guy) 3) fat chaingunner (heavy weapon dude) 4) brown monster (imp) 5) bull (demon) 6) invisibull (spectre) 7) fire skull (lost soul) 8) annoying head (cacodemon) 9) bodybuilder (hell knight) 10) advanced bodybuilder (baron of hell) 11) brain with legs (arachnotron) 12) brown shitball (pain elemental) 12) skeleton (revenant) 13) fat blob (mancubus) 14) super-annoying ressurector (arch-vile) 15) OMG HUGE FUCKING BODYBUILDER (the cyberdemon) 16) OMG HUGE BRAIN BOSS (the spider mastermind) 17) a hole in the wall (final boss) 0 Share this post Link to post
kuchitsu Posted May 27, 2016 In childhood we didn't have any manuals and it took us quite a while to reach the monster cast sequence. So of course we had some made up names. Most of them were quite boring I guess (of "rifle guy" or "flying head" kind), but what's interesting is that the arch-vile was called "fire skeleton" and we perceived him as an advanced version of the revenant (= just "skeleton"). I think even today I kinda see them as creatures of the same kind. Which is fitting perhaps, as they are often used together, especially in slaughter maps. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted May 27, 2016 imp: murder mutant demon: pinky goblin cacodemon: meatball daemon arch-vile: pissed-off martian revenant: agitating skeleton More seriously, though. For the zombies, it'd be names like "green guy, black guy, red guy" referring to their hair or uniform colors (not their skin). The imp would be something like "spiked brownie" because it's brown and spikey. Demons would be something gorilla-pigs, spectres would be stealth beasts, cacodemons would be raspberries, lost souls would imaginatively be something like flaming skulls, the cyberdemon would be the minotaur, and the spider mastermind would be Krang. 0 Share this post Link to post

Guest Unregistered account Posted May 27, 2016 When I watched my dad play at four years old, he always called the Imps "pig monsters" because of the noises they make when active. I somehow never questioned why he never called the Demons pig monsters when they have even more snorty sounds, or the Baron of Hell, which I thought looked like a pig due to its Face and its pink colour. I only remember seeing my dad fight the Cyberdemon in Gotcha! (I don't remember any Spider Mastermind) and to me, back then, it didn't look as huge as it actually is, so I thought it was just some kind of upgrade to the Generic Pig Monsterâ„¢ (Baron of Hell) with a Rocket Launcher arm. For this reason I called them "Super Demons" or "Special Demons". Oh, and I remember watching the menu while my dad was reloading a save or something and asking, "Why are there skulls on the menu when there're no skeletons in the game?" to which, right on cue, a Revenant screamed around the corner and punched the player, killing him in one hit. From my foggy memory of this, I think it was Plutonia, Level 22: Impossible Mission. So yeah, I just called them Skeletons. 0 Share this post Link to post
