Cyberdemon/Doom 3



The classic Cyberdemon returns with a new design in Doom 3. It is the final boss of the game, and — unlike its original counterpart — cannot be hurt with conventional firepower; instead, the player has to utilize the most powerful weapon in Doom 3, the Soul Cube, to kill it.

Some differences of this new incarnation of the monster can be seen on the picture to the right. Though it is not shown in the picture, this incarnation has a long tail, extending from the machinery on its back. The new incarnation of the Cyberdemon can also kill the player by just walking on him instead of having to shoot its rockets at the player. Another noticeable difference in the 'Doom 3' version is that the rocket-launcher is now located on the right arm instead of the left.

Many players complained about the fact that the Cyberdemon is no longer vulnerable to the other weapons, and thus, a mod was released just some weeks after the release of Doom 3 that made the new Cyberdemon vulnerable to conventional weapons again.

The Cyberdemon did not make an appearance in the expansion pack Resurrection of Evil, due to the fact that it was killed at the end of Doom 3.
