Officially* Name a Doom monster

[purist]

Not officially recognised as official by any official officials.

Pick a monster from any map of any IWAD or PWAD, identify them with the THING number, and name them. The monster will now be forever known by the name you chose by everyone who credits this silly thread with any modicum of authority. You only get to pick one so choose carefully.

I will start with my own choice: doom2.wad MAP30 T14. The revenant who is the solitary demon guarding the Icon of Sin and brave last line of defence. I've picked him because after 29 levels of slain hell spawn he is the only guy to show for the final before the Baphomet begins spawning reinforcements.

From this point forward he shall be known as Neville. Or Nev the Rev for short.

Over to the rest of you. Monsters need names too.

Try again

JBR, Hoodie, Pegg, ChekaAgent - that's not a name, it's a description.
Piper Maru, WildWeasel - someone beat you to it
Gez - that's not a monster
Scifista42 - I'll need the thing number as I don't have the WAD

[AD_79]

archvile in front of the exit door on d2map27 is Barney

[joe-ilya]

The stuck spectre bunch in MAP17 behind the red door are called 'the invisible jam'.

Is he the one that opens the yellow door from the inside? I was hoping someone would pick him. He certainly deserves a name for services to speedrunning.

EDIT: Joe is this your way or evading my limit of naming one monster only?

[Yugiboy85]

T19, e2m8. The cyberdemon. He shall now be called "swarley".

[Doomkid]

The Zombieman nearest to the start point in Entryway is named Bob, thing id B08. Him and his pal (whose name currently eludes me) are just having a lovely conversation about the benefits of triangular stairs, then before they know what's happened, Doomguy is sawing them in the back. What a heartless bastard!

[Pencil of Doom]

The Revenant when he first appears in Map06 of D2, i call him Agitated Rocketeer Punching Skeleton.
As for thing id, i dunno, so t6 or whatever.

[purist]

Thing number doesn't really matter as long as it's obvious which monster you're talking about.

[dew]

Meet Larry, t. 240 in BTSX e1m20.

Not even getting zombified by Hell could keep Larry from going back to work and perform his duty. Larry may not be the smartest guy in the galaxy, especially after becoming an unholy walking cadaver, but he's a stand-up guy with a heart rotting in the right place. Fun fact: you don't need to kill Larry to max the map. In fact, you're kind of an asshole if you do.

[Clonehunter]

In that case: Doom II: Map 01: Starting Room: Zombie on the left:

Lenny Goodsman. He was an average soldier for Earth with a wife and kids before he became a zombie. It's theorized that he ate his wife and kids after becoming a zombie, but there's no solid evidence.

[VGA]

In MAP02 the sergeant that is blind is called Stevie. He lost his sight after a Mancubus farted near him, it's a ... wonder he survived at all.

[purist]

Is Stevie the guy who got trapped when the Underhalls were moved? Not just trapped but trapped right next to an explosive barrel. Poor guy, I'm glad he was remembered.

[kuchitsu]

Suddenly I'm reminded of Tommy the Trooper.

Nope, he's the guy guarding the switch next to the RK bars. According to the Holy Doom Canon he's sleepwalking rather than blind, because he does go after you once woken up rudely.

[purist]

Ah sleepy Steve! I remember him. Maybe someone else can name the trapped guy.

[Gez]

Hexen MAP01, thing 185. The pottery. Well, not the pottery itself, but the owl that's inside, it's Ollie the Owl.

Yes there's an owl inside the pottery. Don't break it and listen to it.

[Hoodie]

The imp in the small cage on MAP01 is called "really really dumb" like how did he even get in there amirite

wait how do i do this

It's one monster if you don't kill any of them.

[mrthejoshmon]

Bad Man Gary.

[nxGangrel]

The zombie on the right in the starting room of Map 01 of Doom2 is Zim Zum the Zombie. The first Hell knight you encounter in map 05(UV) is Jim the knight.

[Cruduxy Pegg]

The baron in living end that teleports around the wood room shall be called.. Idk mean fucker who taught mappers to do same with archviles and revs.

You can have Jim. The other guys are already named Bob and Lenny.

[joe-ilya]

The head on the spike behind icon of sin is named Adrian Carmack.

doesn't count towards kills, not a monster. sorry, try again!

[purist]

Actually, don't try again - you had your go with the spectre jelly!

[dew]

purist, you should put the decisions in the OP so people don't do the same monsters again and joe doesn't sneak in more names, hah.

[Superluigieth1]

The four Mancubi on d2map07 are called "The Four Mancubi Gruff", and the aracnotrons on the same map are called "Spiderdemon's army"

This is Jeremy, Shotgun Guy at the beginning of E3M6.

Jeremy was always getting stuck outside on the watch-this-month-old-corpse-quiver-on-a-stick shift. It was the crappiest job in the whole precinct, and Jeremy always seemed to draw the short straw. This was the 4th time this week Jeremy got stuck out there to watch the poor bastard just flail around on that spike, but this was hell after all, and that son of a bitch was sentenced to eternity to just simply quiver on that stick. Jeremy was deep in angry thought watching good ole' stickman, he was gonna barge into the main office and have it out with the captain (that's the Baron inside). In fact, Jeremy is so deep in thought that he doesn't hear Doomguy teleport in behind him. So give Jeremy a break the next time you're at E3M6, at least let him know you are coming. He at least wants a chance to prove to the whole precinct that he can be a good hellspawn cop too before you blast him into the great beyond.

P.S. Glad to see this story was good enough for the doom_txt twitter account. :)

I think I'll name the arachnotron guarding the exit switch on "O' of Destruction" Francis. No particular reason, just because I can(I think)and because he looks to me like someone who would be named Francis.
