Best monster design in a DooM game.

[average rodent]

In your opinion, which DooM game has the best monster design in the entire franchise and why?

[Metal_Slayer]

Most of the monsters from Doom 3, specially the Hell Knight. From the original games I would say is the Arch-Vile.

The Pinky is fantastic.

[Klaesick]

Classic OG Hell Knight. It's badass, demonic, without being overly flashily or colorful.
Solid S-Tier in my personal book!

[Shakariki Heisenberg]

i would say revenant but it decides if its a homing missile depending on the gametick so idk maybe pinky since thats not rng based and it feels so good to kill em with a SSG

[Maximum Matt]

Aracnotron has great movement and sound, and are surprisingly deadly

No one likes John Romero

:(

cacodemon. This is the iconic enemy of doom. 

Especially in the first two games.

Archvile is cool looks like Skelton but after getting fire extinguished 

 

How he so clean in this environment ever buy a white car it gets dirty moment drive off the lot 

 

Also imagine having microwave hands grab a pizza pocket n go

Archie, Arachnotron and the tv faced dude from Doom 3’s expansion.

my personal favorite monster designs are the arachnotron and nightmare imp from doom 64. 64 has some of my favorite design in all of the doom games... except for its cacodemon of course.

Arcvhile. He's a healer and a killer, a runner and a flamer. He is scary, mean, and becomes the top priority whenever he's in the room. He's iconic in all senses.

I really really liked the monster design, vanilla and replacement, in Jamal Jones. The same can go for Rowdy Rudy, Ray Mohawk and the rest of the Doom Kid Universe, but Jamal Jones really felt like it hit a sweet spot.

My personal favorite was always the Doom 1/2 baron of hell. Sort of like a traditional, archetypal demon but with more style and coolness. It's iconic enough that if you see a picture of one, you know it's not just some generic demon artwork. It's a baron of hell. Or hell knight, basically the same thing.
