Spectre


 * For information about the Spectre enemy from Strife, see Spectre (Strife).



Spectres are partially invisible cousins of Demons. Except for their appearance, they are exactly the same, and in fact may be thought of as Demons who have permanent blur artifact power.

Spectres do not have sprites of their own; the Demon's sprite must be edited to change them. The engines handle spectres in two ways. In original engine, the spectres appear "dotty" or "shimmering". PlayStation port and some new source ports use demon sprites with real translucency effect.
