The Tyrant is a new monster in Doom II's expansion pack, Legacy of Rust. Here, it's a hornless Cyberdemon that's 10% smaller with an organic right leg and green wires.
Combat characteristics[]
The Tyrant is the weaker answer to the Cyberdemon, with only one fourth of the hit points, making it similar to other recolored weaker Cyberdemon enemies as seen for example in the Wormwood series. Its sounds are slightly faster and higher pitched than those of the Cyberdemon.
There are three separate versions of the Tyrant, allowing to use several groups of them with different boss death effects. The three versions are identical mechanically and physically, except that the latter two variants have a longer respawn time in Nightmare! difficulty, making them more suited as boss monsters for this skill level.
Tactical analysis[]
The Tyrant behaves similarly and identically to the Cyberdemon in combat, firing volleys of three rockets. Despite its closeness with the Cyberdemon, it can infight with its stronger cousin.
