Blood Maykr

The Blood Maykr is a Heavy demon which first appears in Doom Eternal: Ancient Gods Part One. It is a Maykr Angel that has been corrupted by the influence of Hell after the Icon of Sin awoke on Urdak.

Codex Entry
''Maykr Angels, a devoted and distinguished higher caste within Urdak, were corrupted and mutated by the waking will of the Icon of Sin. Now branded by the Icon's wrath, Blood Maykrs move amongst the demons freely as hellfire courses through their veins. Retaining their staffs and hurling them with thunderbolt force to harry their prey, the Blood Maykrs scour the dead skies of Urdak in unholy mockery of their former home.''

Appearance
The Blood Maykr resembles its former Maykr self, except that its armor is now bright red, its helmet has large demonic horns, and its face is exposed as a result of the demonic corruption it has undergone.

In-game
The Blood Maykr uses its staff to fire energy bolts in rapid bursts, much like those fired by Maykr Drones. The Blood Maykr can also rise into the air and hurl its staff at the player. Upon impact, the staff produces a temporary aura on the ground that damages and slows a player who enters it. The staff will almost immediately reappear in the Blood Maykr's hand after being thrown.

In addition, a Blood Maykr will spread its arms and unleash a large, slow-moving, cross-shaped energy beam from its body. It will first fire one beam directly at the player, then fire two more beams in an outward conical pattern to catch a player who sidesteps the first beam.

If the player gets too close to the Blood Maykr, it slams its staff into the ground and unleashes an energy wave.

Like the Khan Maykr, the Blood Maykr is protected by a golden energy shield that makes it nearly invincible. When it rises up into the air to hurl its staff or spreads its arms to unleash an energy beam, the shielding is lowered, leaving it vulnerable. Also, shooting the Blood Maykr with the BFG will temporarily disable its shielding. A single headshot from the Precision Bolt, the Sticky Bomb, or the Arbalest will instantly destroy an unshielded Blood Maykr.
