Cyberdemon



The Cyberdemon is perhaps the most difficult enemy in classic Doom. It attacks by firing a barrage of three rockets. It has 4000 hit points and does not receive splash damage, making it fairly difficult to kill. The cyberdemon is a boss at the end of Doom level E2M8.

The Doom II manual's description is as follows:

''The Cyberdemon: A missile-launching skyscraper with goat legs. 'Nuff said.''

The Cyberdemon isn't listed in the PC Doom I manual, presumably to make the bossfight with it on E2M8: The Tower of Babel a surprise. Although the SNES manual for Doom I does mention of the Cyberdemon:

''Cyberdemon: Half unfeeling machine, half raging horned devil. This walking nightmare has a rocket launcher for an arm and will definately [sic] reach out and touch you. Make sure you're loaded for bear before you get to this guy.''

Though Cyberdemons can't hurt each other, rockets launched by the player do cause damage to the Cyberdemon, albeit without splash damage.
