Former humans are Doom's most common enemies. Inside the Doom source code they are called Possessed humans. They are zombies possessed by the dark forces of Hell. Because of their human bodies, they have considerably weaker attacks than other monsters, and considerably easier to kill.

Former human monsters drop weapons or ammunition when killed; this sets them apart from the other monsters. A dropped item remains even if the zombie respawns or is resurrected by an Arch-Vile; if killed again, the zombie will drop another item.
