The '''Prowler''' is a multiplayer exclusive demon that appears in [[Doom (2016)|Doom]]. Until the release of the [[Cacodemon (Doom 2016)|Cacodemon]], It is the fourth and final demon that the player can unlock.
 
 
==Appearance==
 
The Prowler is a muscular, agile demon with a body type similar to that of an [[Imp (Doom 2016)|imp]]. They have three small, beady eyes that take up most of its face and a large, gaping mouth that opens up similar to a [[Cacodemon (Doom 2016)|cacodemon]]. They have a purple and black skin tone and a row of bones going down its back. perhaps its most distinguishing feature is the jagged claws on each of the Prowler's fingers.
 
 
== Combat Characteristics ==
 
As the Prowler, the player has the ability to leap great distances and cling to any wall or ceiling. The player can identity where it can leap via a red outline of the Prowler itself. The Prowler can also see enemy players through walls via red outlines of their characters. If the Prowler makes contact with an enemy player while leaping, they will grab the player by the head and smash them into a nearby surface, killing them instantly. The Prowler, when on the ground, can also grab enemies and rip their arms off for an instant kill. Both attacks in question count as [[Glory Kill]]s.
 
   
 
The '''Prowler''' is a multiplayer exclusive demon that appears in [[Doom (2016)]] and makes its singleplayer debut in [[Doom Eternal]]. Until the release of the [[Cacodemon (Doom 2016)|Cacodemon]], it was the fourth and final demon that the player can unlock in the multiplayer of Doom (2016).
== Tactical Analysis ==
 
As a Prowler, it is wise to stay away from large groups of enemies as the Prowler has little health and no ranged attacks unlike the other playable demons. The Prowler should pick off enemies that are alone. The player should also take advantage of the Prowler's quick reflexes by leaping on numerous platforms in order to avoid gunfire or to confuse the enemy. Furthermore, the Prowler should occasionally pick off enemies from the ground by attacking from behind.
 
   
  +
It bears a small resemblance to [[Wraith/Doom_3|Wraiths from Doom 3]], especially at the face. Just like the Wraith's, its attacks are mostly melee, but it moves very fast across the surfaces (as it has the ability to leap over cliffs) and can also teleport from one location to another in a matter of seconds. When fighting a Prowler think of keeping it at distance or use the chainsaw when up close.
When fighting a Prowler, it is wise to take advantage of the Prowler's inability to use ranged attacks and low health pool and fire on it where possible. The player should attempt to stay away from the Prowler as much as possible and avoid its leap attacks. Weapons such as the [[Super Shotgun (Doom 2016)|Super Shotgun]] prove useful if facing the Prowler up close and a well placed shot from a fully charged [[Static Rifle]] also proves useful if the Prowler is further away. The [[Gauss Cannon]] is probably the most useful special weapon to use against the Prowler as it almost always hits its target while also dealing massive damage. The [[BFG 9000 (Doom 2016)|BFG9000]] can also deal great damage, but requires an accurate shot. Using the [[Chainsaw (Doom 2016)|Chainsaw]] against the Prowler is not advised as the Prowler has the ability to instantly kill anyone up close.
 
   
  +
The Doom Eternal variant fights similarly to [[Imp (Doom Eternal)|Imps]], albeit with a greater health pool and the ability to quickly teleport around the map. It is additionally classed as a heavy demon and therefore requires three units of [[Chainsaw (Doom Eternal)|Chainsaw]] fuel instead of the one unit required for the Imp.

The Prowler is a multiplayer exclusive demon that appears in Doom (2016) and makes its singleplayer debut in Doom Eternal. Until the release of the Cacodemon, it was the fourth and final demon that the player can unlock in the multiplayer of Doom (2016).

It bears a small resemblance to Wraiths from Doom 3, especially at the face. Just like the Wraith's, its attacks are mostly melee, but it moves very fast across the surfaces (as it has the ability to leap over cliffs) and can also teleport from one location to another in a matter of seconds. When fighting a Prowler think of keeping it at distance or use the chainsaw when up close.

The Doom Eternal variant fights similarly to Imps, albeit with a greater health pool and the ability to quickly teleport around the map. It is additionally classed as a heavy demon and therefore requires three units of Chainsaw fuel instead of the one unit required for the Imp.
