Spectre/Doom (2016)

The Spectre is a transparent Pinky and is a returning enemy in Doom (2016). They are the result of UAC experiments gone wrong.

In-Game Description
UAC REPORT FILE: CLWTHI1R

''The Spectre is the unfortunate result of a misguided attempt to genetically modify the Pinky. Several Pinkies were gathered during the first Lazarus Project's Tethering Operation (MTC 2146/351). Four of the captured beasts were vivisected. While three of these experiments resulted in the death of the subject, one resulted in a Pinky with limited psionic abilities. In an attempt to increase its ocular capacity, the optic nerve of a Cacodemon was transplanted into the Pinky. After the operation, the animal was returned to its enclosure to recover. It is believed the beast was accidentally released from its pen when its keeper, thinking the invisible Spectre had escaped, opened the gate. Several months after the first Spectre went missing, the second Tethering Operation (MTC 2147/016) captured two fertile specimens. Presumably, the original Spectre wandered into the Lazarus Wave testing facility and was teleported back to Hell by a Summoner. It is unknown how the Spectre managed to breed, but the psionic trait was carried to the offspring.''

Besides psionic invisibility, there are no known differences between the Pinky and Spectre.

Combat Characteristics
Spectres have the same attributes to Pinkies, the only difference being they do not charge and they are transparent. The Spectre will typically attempt to use it's near invisible body it's advantage by sneaking up on the player and biting them.

Appearence
The Spectre is physically indentical to an ordinary Pinky. The only difference being the Spectre's almost transparent body. The Spectre constantly phases in and out of view, and they typically match the lighting and look of their surroundings. Occasionally when killed, the Spectre will lose its transparent skin and resemble an ordinary Pinky.

Tactical Analysis
Spectre's fight Similarly to Pinkies and same tactics can be utilised to kill them. Spectre's take far less damage than Pinkie's and it is much easier to kill them from the front.
