Monster

In single-player and cooperative multiplayer games, much of a player's time is spent in combat with enemy monsters.

Doom/Ultimate Doom

 * Former Human: Once a Marine like the player, now undead and carrying a rifle.
 * Former Human Sergeant: A more durable zombie with a shotgun.
 * Imp: A humanoid demon who spits small fireballs.
 * Demon: Slightly larger than a human, this pink creature runs forward on its two hind legs to bite the player.
 * Spectre: Almost identical to the Demon, but partially invisible.
 * Cacodemon: A large flying head with red scales, horns, and one eye. It moves relatively slowly, but has strong jaws and can fire lightning balls from a distance.
 * Lost Soul: A floating, flaming skull with a high-speed ramming attack.
 * Baron of Hell: The boss monster in Knee-Deep in the Dead, resembling a large minotaur. He can hurl bolts of green plasma, and employs a powerful clawing attack at close range.
 * Cyberdemon: The boss monster in The Shores of Hell. A hulking, humanoid cyborg of immense strength, he moves faster than any other monster, pausing to fire volleys of rockets.
 * Spider Mastermind: The boss monster in Inferno and Thy Flesh Consumed. She appears as an enormous brain with eyes and a mouth, encased in a four-legged metal chassis, and packs a chaingun far more dangerous than the player's.

Doom II/Final Doom
All of the original Doom monsters, plus:
 * Former Human Commando: A tough, aggressive zombie with a chaingun.
 * Hell Knight: Has half as much health as the Baron, but looks very similar and fights in the same way.
 * Revenant: A tall, skeletal demon wearing armor. He can launch ballistic or guided missiles, and punch the player when in close quarters.
 * Mancubus: A grotesquely bloated humanoid with flamethrowers instead of forearms. Moves slowly, but takes a fair amount of ordnance to bring down.
 * Arachnotron: Strongly resembles the Spider Mastermind, but much smaller, and uses a plasma gun instead of a chaingun.
 * Pain Elemental: A large flying head with brown scales, horns, and one eye. It attacks by spitting Lost Souls toward its target, and even creates a few more as it dies.
 * Arch-Vile: A white, emaciated humanoid who moves rapidly and is quite tough for his size. He can cast spells to engulf the player in flames, and knows how to bring dead monsters back to life.
 * Icon of Sin: The giant, immobile boss monster at the end of each IWAD, who attacks by creating other monsters. He can be killed only by firing rockets through a small hole to hit the avatar inside.
 * Wolfenstein SS: Populates the two Wolfenstein-themed secret levels; not as dangerous as the original.
 * Commander Keen: A hanging effigy of the cosmonaut from id Software's pioneering series of games. He neither moves nor attacks.
