History Characters / Doom2016Demons

* TragicVillain: It's only revealed in the backstory, but the Icon was just an ordinary man twisted into this abomination.

The zombified remnants of human soldiers, these grunts retain most of their combat prowess and intelligence compared to other zombies, and wield either a plasma rifle or a shield-and-shotgun combo. They are the modern counterparts to the Zombiemen and [[VideoGame/Doom3 Z-Sec]] enemies of old.

* ChargedAttack: Regular Soldiers can charge up their plasma rifle to fire a slow-moving shot that explodes after traveling a short distance.

** Likewise, ''Eternal''[='s=] Soldier has basically the mechanics of ''2016''[='s=] Soldiers, but with a design completely based off the original Soldier.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Their skin is an odd mixture of brown, tan, red and pale purple.

* SpikesOfVillainy: In ''Eternal'', imps sport pronounced spikes of bone on their backs, [[TruerToTheText to more closely resemble their classic designs]].

So-named for their pink coloration, Pinkies will charge their foes and possess heavy armor, with only their backsides vulnerable. Spectres are identical to Pinkies but are completely invisible save for the light refracting through them.

* MadeOfIron: They're not ''completely'' invulnerable from the front, so you can in fact shoot your way out if one manages to corner you in a narrow passage, but their armored carapace will still take a ''lot'' of firepower to punch through.

* ActionBomb: They blow up on impact.

* AchillesHeel: In ''Eternal,'' they are very tough and hard to stagger, and their attacks can easily kill the Slayer in only a few hits, making them a massive threat at any range. However, they can be instantly staggered for a Glory Kill by launching a Frag Grenade or Sticky Bomb into their mouths, and it only takes a single Arbalest bolt to kill them outright.

* EyeScream: Most glory kills involve damage to their eye.

* RevisitingTheRoots: Although not quite as drastic a redesign as those recieved by some of the other demons between ''2016'' and ''Eternal'', the Cacodemon is given back a number of smaller details from its classic design, such as more vibrant red skin, grey horns, a pupil in its eye, and even its blue blood.

** In ''Eternal'', their shoulder cannons can be destroyed (with weapons like the Precision Bolt and Ballista able to do so in one shot), which also disables their jetpack. This renders them into a largely-impotent melee enemy who is only slightly faster than the basic Imps.

* FateWorseThanDeath: The procedure of becoming a Revenant is an extremely gruesome and excrutiating procedure which apparently lasts for weeks, before the subjects die of sheer pain, only to be brought back later as undead abominations.

** The Cyber Mancubus naturally amps both of these attributes up to eleven, but in return, has an even more easily-exploited weakness; a single Blood Punch will tear off ''all'' of their armour and most of their HP, exposing their huge guts to retaliation.

* DecompositeCharacter: In most ''Doom'' games the Mancubi are otherwise organic creatures with cybernetic guns. This game splits them into two kinds: the entirely organic Mancubi and the far more visibly enhanced Cyber-Mancubi. Both return in ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'', though are now directly based on the classic Mancubus appearance-wise.

* PlayingWithFire: They're armed with two flamethrowers.

* AchillesHeel: In both ''2016'' and ''Eternal'' - they are very strong and very fast, but they are extremely predictable in their attack patterns. They're also VERY large, making them hard to miss. They're easy to shut down as long as you stay out of their reach. Things get even worse for them in ''Eternal'', where the Slayer's new dash ability lets him effortlessly kite around them even in close quarters.

* CloseRangeCombatant: Unlike his classic and ''Doom 3'' counterparts, the modern Hell Knight has no ranged attacks, but compensates with his high speed and immense strength.

* AchillesHeel: They take the size and speed of a Hell Knight and couple it with a devastating ranged attack. However, they handle differing elevations poorly; if you're on the same level as they are, watch out, but getting to higher elevation requires them to take the time to leap up themselves, allowing you to punish them without retaliation.

* AchillesHeel: Being frozen will lock them in place, and despite requiring three chainsaw fuel pips to kill in ''Eternal,'' they are fairly squishy. The trouble is hitting them.

* AchillesHeel: They are ferociously powerful mid-range combatants who can lock the Slayer down with their plasma turret, but said turret can be destroyed with enough firepower (such as a single Precision Bolt, Ballista shot, or Shotgun-launched grenade). This renders them largely impotent - they are slow, easy to hit, and have no other ranged attacks besides a grenade launcher that roots them in place when they use it.

* AchillesHeel: Their shields are vulnerable to the same overcharging effects as the Shield Soldier's, and its explosion when destroyed is much bigger; this means that they often [[UnwantedAssistance endanger their allies FAR more than they help them.]]

* AchillesHeel: They aren't quite as fast as their unmodified counterparts are, and their tendency to launch ranged attacks means that they will often be left behind by both their fellow demons and the Slayer as the battle moves around the arena. They're also susceptible to MoreDakka, courtesy of the Chaingun.

* AchillesHeel: They're slower and larger than their fellow flying heavies, Cacodemons; they also lack their devastatingly powerful bite, and their projectiles can be shot down, unlike the lightning balls the Caco spits. Additionally, they share the Caco's weakness to the Ballista's Arbalest mod, going down in two shots to the Caco's one.

* BodyHorror: Judging from appearance, they were once organic beings, but their transformation has led to literally everything below their chest, as well as their arms to be severed and replaced by cybernetics.

* AchillesHeel: Their strongest attacks require them to stay in place, and teleportation notwithstanding, they are incredibly slow compared to their fellow demons. If you can close to quarters with them, the Slayer's absurd damage output lets him obliterate them into kibble within moments.

** While they can block any direct damage thrown their way, they can't do a thing about splash damage; plastering the area around them with grenades, sticky bombs, rockets and Arbalest bolts from the Ballista will rapidly blow away large portions of their health.

* ChessMotifs: WordOfGod describes the Marauder as the equivalent to the Queen on the chessboard, being the one piece with unparalleled mobility and game-ending potential that requires an extraordinary amount of your attention on the battlefield, and who creates an absolute ''ton'' of openings for the other, less maneuverable pieces while you are distracted trying to deal with it.

* SwordBeam: The Cybderdemon occasionally fires three wide sword slash projectiles that require the Doom Slayer to jump or crouch to avoid them. Missing a jump hurts. A ''lot''. The Cyberdemon also creates barriers to form a tight 'corridor' during this attack, preventing the player from simply strafing out of the way.

* TwinMaker: ''Doom: VFR'' reveals that another Cyberdemon was created as a prototype before the one Doom Slayer fights in-game, but that the UAC lost it and it ended up back in Hell. It looks and fights identically to the other one, though it has no second phase[[note]]So no sudden resurrection and no rock corridors[[/note]], and Dr. Peters has to go find and kill it in order to retrieve its Argent Accumulator to close the Mars portal.

* AchillesHeel: Their huge energy balls can be destroyed with gunfire, and in the second phase if you shoot one of them while they're charging an energy ball it will explode in their face and stun them, opening them up to heavy attack.

* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:This demonic monstrosity is none other than Olivia Pierce herself, having been "[[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor rewarded]]" by her demonic superiors.]] Subverted by the ''DOOM Eternal'' Collector Edition's Lore Book, which indicates that the Spider Mastermind is actually [[spoiler:a seperate and ''very'' ancient entity that merely used Olivia's sacrifice as a way to give herself physical form]].

* AchillesHeel: They can be dispatched rapidly by dropping their shield with the Plasma Rifle and then hitting them with the Lock-On Burst for the Rocket Launcher. Both phases will go down in only a few salvos[[note]]three for the first phase, two for the second[[/note]]. The DegradedBoss versions of the Hunter which show up later in the game are even weaker, requiring only three salvos to kill both phases[[note]]two for the sled phase, one for the torso phase[[/note]]. This is rather ironic, given that their preferred method of attack while on their sled is to constantly spam missiles at ''you.''

* DeflectorShields: It can generate a plasma shield around the organic parts of its body that needs to be taken down via Plasma Rifle before damage can be dealt to its fleshy bits. It will regenerate if you don't destroy the Doom Hunter's sled fast enough.

** Possessed Security/ShieldSoldiers carry shields that make them far more durable than their Shotgun Guy predecessors.

* AdaptationalWimp: Zig-zagged. In terms of combat capability, they're not too dissimilar to their ''Doom 3'' counterparts; however, the Slayer's much greater mobility compared to the third game's Marines makes them completely harmless compared to the threat they presented during ''3''[='s=] early missions. In fact, ''Eternal''[='s=] basic Zombies are actually faster and tougher than the ''Doom 3'' ones, and even have a pretty impressive lunge attack; it's just that the Doom Slayer is so ''overwhelmingly'' powerful that they're still near-harmless cannon fodder.

* CameBackWrong: Long story short: Good news, Argent Energy allows you to come back from the dead. Bad news, [[HumanoidAbomination you are now the furthest thing from human]] [[BodyHorror that you can possibly be]].

* TookALevelInBadass: Mecha Zombies can take more damage than Possessed Soldiers and have an arm cannon that doubles as both a plasma blaster for ranged attacks and a flamethrower for close-range attacks. Their walking speed is still pretty slow, however.

** To a far lesser extent the Soldier from ''Eternal''. While a lot more human, his gun is still fused to his arm, and his other hand is a bloated, oddly contorted mess with only three fingers.
* ChargedAttack: Regular Soldiers can charge up their plasma rifle to fire a slow-moving shot that explodes after travelling a short distance.
* CompositeCharacter: The revamped Shield Soldier in ''Eternal'' is what you'd get by throwing the Possessed Security from ''DOOM (2016)'' and the classic Shotgun Sergeant into a blender.
** Likewise, the standard Soldier is basically the mechanics of 2016's Soldiers, but with a design completely based off the original Soldiers.

* TookALevelInBadass: Soldiers in modern ''Doom'' are much nastier than their Zombiemen, Shotgun Guy, and Z-Sec counterparts; they sport highly accurate plasma rifles or shotgun-energy shield combos, move quickly and with great agility, and can absorb a surprising amount of firepower before they fall. They even get jetpacks in ''Eternal''.
* TruerToTheText: The ones in ''Eternal'' have been redesigned to more closely resemble their classic counterparts; most noticeably, the regular Soldiers now have green hair like the original games' Zombieman sprite. Additionally, the redesigned Shield Soldiers seem to take major cues from the Shotgunners of old.

* {{Expy}}: The Hell Razer is most definitely a stand-in for the classic Chaingun Bob and Chaingun Commando from ''Doom 3'', only the chaingun is replaced with an integrated laser gun.

* TookALevelInBadass: Here, they are considerably more agile and aggressive foes than the classic games. They often throw fireballs while running, cling to walls and pipes to rain down fireballs upon targets, and have a charged fireball attack that, on higher difficulties, can OneHitKill players without armour.

So-named for their pink colouration, Pinkies will charge their foes and possess heavy armour, with only their backsides vulnerable. Spectres are identical to Pinkies but are completely invisible save for the light refracting through them.

** ''Eternal'' goes one step further and also makes Pinkies & Spectres weak to Blood Punches, meaning that as long as you have a Blood Punch charged you can instantly OneHitKill them without even having to bother trying to get behind them.

* BullfightBoss: Not a boss, but Pinkies are ''extremely'' well-armoured at the front and very prone to charging, meaning that it's generally best to dodge around their attack so you can hit their vulnerable rear.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: The bony armour on their heads allows them to survive even a direct rocket hit.

* MadeOfIron: They're not ''completely'' invulnerable from the front, so you can in fact shoot your way out if one manages to corner you in a narrow passage, but their armoured carapace will still take a ''lot'' of firepower to punch through.

* TookALevelInBadass: This rendition of the Pinky gains chitinous armour covering most its front that is highly resistant to all but the heaviest of guns, as well as a charge attack that can be difficult to dodge. They can be a real pain to deal with (especially if you have to fight several of them at once), particularly in ''2016''[='s=] Classic Stages where they appear in the same massive numbers as in the original games.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Not directly, but while the classic Lost Souls were basically human skulls with horns, these look far more like their demonic brethren.
* AdaptationalWimp: Partly. While still a decent threat, a single weak attack kills them instantly, and their only means of attacking, while more damaging also kills them in the process.
* ActionBomb: They blow up on-impact.

* ContinuityNod: Their general design is a call-back to what they looked like in ''Doom 64''.

* SuicideAttack: Their only mode of attack, period. They can't spit plasma at you like Cacodemons or throw fire like Imps, all they can do is ''ram you.''
* TechnicolorFire: Their flames can change colour. When they're calm and just floating around, they have a blue flame, but when they see you, their flame turns a pinkish-red as they charge.

* AdaptationalWimp: In ''Eternal''. They have the same attacks and resilience, but getting them to swallow explosives makes most Cacodemons no more difficult to kill than an Imp.

* TookALevelInBadass: They do considerably more damage with their bite attacks than before, and their spit causes InterfaceScrew should it connect. They're also even tankier in ''Eternal'' than they were in the 2016 game, but can be instantly staggered with a sticky bomb to the mouth, and also are weak against the ballista.
* TruerToTheText: Although not quite as drastic a redesign as some of the other demons, the Cacodemon in ''Eternal'' is given back a number of smaller details from its classic design, such as more vibrant red skin, grey horns, a pupil in its eye and even its blue blood.

* AchillesHeel: In ''Eternal'', their shoulder cannons can be destroyed (with weapons like the Precision Bolt and Ballista able to do so in one shot). This renders them into a largely-impotent melee enemy who is only slightly faster than the basic Imps.

* HomingProjectile: One of the rockets he can launch.

* MacrossMissileMassacre: They can shoot a ''lot'' of rockets, very quickly.

* SuperSoldier: What they were intended to be following their investigation into the effects of Lazarus Wave exposure on human test subjects, this time being cybernetically augmented before being turned into pseudo-demonic undead warriors in the UAC's arsenal of weaponised demons.
* TookALevelInBadass: Revenants were already considered a pain in the ass in the original games. Here they have ''jetpacks'', allowing them to quickly move across large distances and fly up to rain down missiles on players who try and hide behind cover.

* {{Cyborg}}: The Cyber-Mancubi, as is in their name, who have been enhanced with UAC technology such new weapons replacing their organic flamethrowers and armour plating grafted to their flesh. This has become standard for regular Mancubi in ''Eternal'', and their redesign explained in their codex as the UAC Cultists having done man-made cybernetic modifications to improve upon their fighting power and armour without going to the extent of the Cyber-Mancubi.

* FatBastard: Larger than most demons, and so fat that their natural armour is incapable of fully protecting them. Humorously, according to one of its Codex entries, the UAC ''tried'' to remedy this with all-encompassing armour [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption but the Cyber-Mancubi kept outgrowing said armour anyway.]] During gameplay, it tends to let out an inhuman gravelly laugh at the Slayer.

* MadeOfPlasticine: If you have a Blood Punch loaded in ''Eternal'', you can run up to a Cyber-Mancubus and punch it once to break through all of its armour in a single hit, making the rest of the fight a lot shorter (it's weaker than a regular Mancubus once its armour is down).

* TruerToTheText: As seen above, Mancubi are given the most dramatic redesign of the demons in ''Eternal'', ditching the chitinous cyclops appearance of ''2016'' for the classic "fat ogre" form, with cybernetic arm cannons instead of OrganicTechnology. Cyber-Mancubi follow suit, distinguished by their green hue and a layer of cybernetic armour applied to most of their bodies.

* UndergroundMonkey: There's both the regular Mancubus and the Cyber-Mancubus, the latter of which has had its chitinous armour/[[ArmCannon Arm Cannons]] replaced with green metal plating, mechanical {{Arm Cannon}}s, and is also outfitted with a fancy technological helmet to better visually distinguish it. In true UndergroundMonkey fashion, the Cyber-Mancubus is also more dangerous than its vanilla counterpart, with unique variations of the standard attacks alongside increased health and damage output.

* AdaptationalWimp: Sort of. They are still a somewhat potent threat, but have lost their powerful ranged attacks from previous games completely.

* CantCatchUp: A particularly literal example; as mentioned above, they are one of the only returning enemies from ''2016'' who don't get any new moves. They're slightly faster, but that's about it. This leaves them at the mercy of the Slayer's greatly-enhanced mobility; his Dash allows them to be easily dodged, baiting them into fruitless leaps that leave them wide open for retaliation.

* SmashMook: Hell Knights have lost their ranged attacks, but make up for it with their speed and agility.

* AlienBlood: In ''Eternal'', the Fireborne Barons bleed ''liquid hot magma''. Justified, given the Fireborne Barons fused with Hell's matter from their environment.

* ElementalEmbodiment: Essentially what the Fireborne Barons of ''Eternal'' are; the embodiment of Hell's matter from the environment they resided in.

* MagmaMan: The Fireborne Barons in ''Eternal''. As the player deals damage to them, their ashen grey hides [[ShowsDamage crack away]] to reveal a molten, skeletal core.

* TruerToTheText: {{Subverted}}. ''Eternal'' introduces the Fireborne Barons who come from a Baron clan of [[MagmaMan Magma Men]], who have an obsidian carapace, natural flaming arm blades, and are basically embodiments of Hellfire itself.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The Codex states that they prefer to hunt alone, as it gives them more precision to take down their enemies. In the game, you ''only'' encounter them in packs and/or in the company of other demons. In all fairness, when your foe is [[TheDreaded the Doom]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction Slayer...]]

A demon similar in appearance to the Summoner which only appears in the multiplayer game. It was added in the first expansion pack, "Unto the Evil". It uses vampiric plasma lightning beams to steal the lifeforce from its victims and then convert it into Hellish energy projectiles.

* AdaptationalWimp: Compared to their original iteration, the new Archviles have lost some of the power that made them so painful to fight in the original ''[[VideoGame/{{Doom}} Doom II]]''. Not that they are any easier to deal with, though, but still:
** For starters, their fire attacks, while still very damaging, are nowhere near as deadly as they used to be. Originally, an Archvile's flame attack has a pretty far range (896 units, further if you damage him and he retaliates), is only limited to his line-of-sight, and deals a ''lot'' of damage (20 for the initial zap that launches you upwards, and ''70'' for the ensuing explosion. Given that you're a lot more vulnerable back then, this is often life-threatening), on top of flinging you into the air when it connects, making engagements risky without ample cover. Now, the thing seems to prefer staying in the background and can only deal with the bulk of its damage up close.
** Secondly, it can no longer spam its revival ability, whereas the original Archvile checks for a valid corpse ''every time its sprite frame changes'' and resurrects it, thus potentially creating an unending wave of fresh demons to fight you. In fact, this power has been completely removed in exchange for turning the Archvile into an EnemySummoner and mobile buff totem, which is still an absolute pain in the ass, but much less of a resource drain on you due to the new gameplay changes making it easier to gain health and ammo back.

* TeleportSpam: It possesses the ability to teleport, though at least in Battlemode, this is restricted to anywhere in its line-of-sight as long as the path isn't obstructed.
* TookALevelInBadass: While the Archvile was always a nightmare to deal with in earlier titles, the ''Doom Eternal'' incarnation of the infamous demon boasts a whole suite of new powers, ranging from covering the ground around itself in flame, barely flinches even if bombarded with rockets, to teleporting around and giving significant power boosts to any demon in its vicinity.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Serves as this to the Cyberdemon, only having a different name due to "Cyberdemon" referring to the one specific demon in ''2016''.

* TruerToTheText: Unlike the ''2016'' version, the Tyrant is more or less a modern recreation of the classic Cyberdemon, down to the boatloads of cybernetics (right leg, left arm, abdomen), facial appearance (long curving black horns, beady eyes set apart, razor-sharp teeth, lack of a nose) and colour palette, though it [[CompositeCharacter retains]] the ''2016'' Cyberdemon's ArmCannon design and a good portion of its attacks. Reflecting the classic Cyberdemon's degradation from Episode 2s final boss to a rare MiniBoss in Doom 2, Tyrants are presented as EliteMooks or mini-bosses instead of the full-on Boss encounter that the ''2016'' Cyberdemon was.

* AchillesHeel: In ''Eternal'', their shoulder cannons can be destroyed with Precision Bolts or certain explosives. This renders them into a largely-impotent melee enemy who is only slightly faster than the basic Imps.

* AchillesHeel: In ''Eternal'', they are hideously tanky, even by the standards of their fellow heavyweight demons; their arm cannons let them function as an anti-aircraft cannon, keeping you from moving too freely around the arena. However, if you blast off their arm-cannons with a weak point-buster (Sticky Bomb, Precision Bolt, Ballista standard fire) or enough rounds from any other weapon, they can only fire pathetic fireballs that don't explode and whistle like a firework. They also lose their devastating close-range flamethrower attack, making them easy to kite.

* AchillesHeel: They are ferociously powerful mid-range combatants who can lock the Slayer down with their plasma turret, but said turret can be destroyed with a Precision Bolt, Ballista shot, or shotgun-launched grenade. This renders them largely impotent - they are slow, easy to hit, and have no other ranged attacks besides a grenade launcher that roots them in place when they use it.

* AchillesHeel: Their shields are vulnerable to the same overcharging effects as the Riot Soldier's, and its' explosion when destroyed is much bigger; this means that they often [[UnwantedAssistance endanger their allies FAR more than they help them.]]

* AchillesHeel: They're slower and larger than their fellow flying heavies, Cacodemons; they also lack their devastatingly powerful bite, and their projectiles can be shot down, unlike the lightning balls the Caco spits. Additionally, they share the Caco's weakness to the Ballista's Arbalest mod, going down in two shots to of the Caco's one.

* AchillesHeel: They prioritize getting up close and personal with the Slayer, which works great - until you get the Super Shotgun. They also make no effort to avoid explosives launched into their intended path of travel, which makes it easy to trick them into moving right into a primed grenade.

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: We've yet to see a single demon that can't be summed up as "wants to murder everything that isn't from Hell". Oftentimes, [[EnemyCivilWar they don't even make that distinction]].

* AdaptationalWimp: Completely harmless compared to the relatively present threat they presented during the early missions of ''Doom 3''. In ''Eternal'' they're actually faster and tougher than the ''Doom 3'' zombies, and even have a pretty impressive dash punch, but the Doom Slayer is just so ''overwhelmingly'' powerful compared to them that they're still near harmless cannon fodder.

* AdaptationalWimp: Completely harmless compared to the relatively present threat they presented during the early missions of ''Doom 3''.

* FatBastard: Larger than most demons, and so fat that their natural armour is incapable of fully protecting them. Humorously, according to one of its Codex entries, the UAC ''tried'' to remedy this with all-encompassing armour [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption but the Cyber-Mancubi kept outgrowing said armour anyway.]]

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The Gladiator is never mentioned beyond the very level where he is fought, and even then the level is short enough that it feels like he appears out of nowhere. He has no relevance to the plot beyond holding the PlotCoupon that allows Deag Grav's death to stick.

* InformedFlaw: According to the lore and the Slayer Testament in particular, they are absolutely ''terrified'' of The Doom Slayer, and he's driven them over the DespairEventHorizon at least once. However, none of the demons you encounter in-game ever show signs of fear, beg for their lives, surrender, or offer to betray their kin in exchange for mercy. They attack The Slayer with the same vicious contempt and rage they do any of their other enemies.

* DeflectorShields: It can generate a plasma shield around its organic body that needs to be taken down via Plasma Rifle before damage can be dealt to the organic parts of its body. It will regenerate if you don't destroy the Doom Hunter's sled fast enough.

* BarrierWarrior: It can generate a plasma shield around its organic body that needs to be taken down via Plasma Rifle before damage can be dealt with its body. It will regenerate if you don't destroy the Doom Hunter's sled fast enough.

* ArmAndALeg: The Possessed Workers are all missing their left arm.

* TookALevelInBadass: Mecha Zombies can take more damage than Possessed Soldiers and has an arm cannon that doubles as both a plasma blaster for ranged attacks and a flamethrower for close-range attacks. Their walking speed is still pretty slow, however.

* {{Cyclops}}: Possessed Scientists in ''2016'' only have a single large eye-like cavity on their head.

* BaldOfEvil: Shield Soldiers in ''Eternal'' have completely shaved heads.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeithSilverstein (Deag Grav, Deag Nilox), Creator/JasonSpisak (Deag Ranak)

->"The sacrament of this world to the great Khan Maykr will be made, and the energy will be restored once again..."
->"...as it is written, from the souls of the non-believers!"
->"You will not save them from their judgement!"
-->--'''Deag Ranak and Grav'''
\\
Mentioned in ''Doom (2016)'', the Hell Priests were once the priesthood of the Night Sentinels, but were seduced by the power of Hell and subsequently played a pivotal role in the fall of Argent D'Nur. They now guide the demonic consumption of Earth. Three Hell Priests are known to exist: Deag Nilox, Deag Ranak, and Deag Grav.

* AgeWithoutYouth: [[spoiler:The Slayer's flashbacks to 150 years prior show that the Priests once looked like completely human middle-aged men, but have since withered away.]]
* AintTooProudToBeg: When Deag Ranak gets cornered by the Doom Slayer after he defeats the Doom Hunters, he desperately tries to offer him assistance or power in exchange for being spared. [[OffwithHisHead This ultimately falls on deaf ears.]]
* AssholeVictim: Absolutely none of them get the slightest bit of pity when the Slayer kills them systematically. [[spoiler:Especially in the codex when you learn they did it all in selling out their people out of [[TheQuisling fanatic devotion to the Khan Maykr]], [[AddictiveMagic to fuel their addiction to Argent energy and it's power]], [[ForTheEvulz and sheer amusement]] regardless of the destruction they cause of countless worlds in the process, including Earth.]]
* CoolCrown: They each have stylish spiked crowns of various styles, from a more standard design to a circlet covered by a hood to a full stylized helmet and faceplate, on their heads.
* CutsceneBoss: Technically speaking, [[spoiler:the Slayer kills all of them almost as soon as he sees them in cutscenes, save for the final one, whom manages to summon a guardian to protect him but once that's down soon meets the fate at the rest, [[KilledMidSentence all while mid-sentence of a monologue]].]]
* DiesWideOpen: Nilox and Ranak's heads have their eyes open after their deaths. [[spoiler:[[YourHeadASplode There isn't enough of Grav's head left for him to do this]]]].
* TheDragon: They are subordinates of Khan Maykr, who ordered them to destroy Earth.
* EvilGloating: They really love doing this. ''Deconstructed'' in that their words ultimately fall on deaf ears as the Slayer doesn't particularly care about what they have to say and kills them mid-sentence.
* EvilMakeover: Flashbacks and their individual codex pages show them as they were before being corrupted by Hell, with cleaner robes, straighter postures, and overall much healthier complexions. They also gained an [[VoiceOfTheLegion inhuman reverb to their voices]] over the process.
* EvilOldFolks: They are very old and wrinkly (unlike the [[OlderThanTheyLook Slayer]] they look the part) and they are ''very'' evil.
* GladiatorGames: The Arena on Sentinel Prime was originally meant to be a proving ground for outsiders and prisoners to join the ranks of the Sentinels and was how Doomguy first joined them. Since Argent's fall, it's been turned into a place of horrific bloodsport by Deag Grav, who pits armed civilians against demons for his own amusement.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Deag Grav was first mentioned in ''Doom (2016)'''s codex as the one who swayed the Betrayer into the DealWithTheDevil that lead to the destitution of Argent D'Nur, while Deag Ranak is revealed to be the one who convinced Olivia Pierce to unleash Hell on Mars in exchange for godlike power, avoiding consequences due to never appearing in-game. Upon confronting the Doom Slayer in ''Eternal'' that luck abruptly runs out.
* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:All three of them. They either boast about how they're supposedly indestructible or try to bargain with the Doom Slayer. It doesn't work.]]
-->'''Deag Nilox:''' [[spoiler:My soul remains guarded... You can't--! ''(head ripped off by the Slayer)'']]\\

'''Deag Grav:''' [[spoiler:This stops nothing. Earth will be consumed, regardless of what ha-- ''(the Slayer blows his head apart with the Super Shotgun)'']]
* LivingMacGuffin: Killing each of them is the key to halting the demonic corruption of Earth that is driving the plot of ''Eternal''.
* [[TheManBehindTheMan Men Behind the Man]]: Deag Ranak's work with Olivia Pierce and his manipulations after her death were responsible for the UAC becoming a demon cult, while Deag Grav was the one who is mentioned above to have not only swayed Valen into the DealWithTheDevil that doomed Argent D'Nur, but was the one who brought his son back as the Icon of Sin.
* MadScientist: Deag Ranak dabbles in cybernetics. He has notably designed the Doom Hunters, calling them his greatest work, and indeed these prove to be among the tougher enemies the Slayer can face.
* TheMole: When the Argent civil war began, the Sentinel Priests professed loyalty to King Novik against the Khan Maykr. Too bad they were actually setting the Night Sentinels up for the UriahGambit below.
* NotHyperbole: The first you hear from Deag Ranak and Grav in the game is "The sacrament of this world to the great Khan Maykr will be made, and the energy will be restored once again..." "...as it is written, from the souls of the non-believers!", and it's safe to say [[spoiler:they weren't kidding. Argent Energy is [[PoweredByAForsakenChild made from the souls of dead people]], tormented past the DespairEventHorizon]].
* OffWithHisHead: Deag Nilox gets his head ripped off, Deag Ranak gets his head sliced off with the Doomblade, and [[spoiler:Deag Grav [[ChunkySalsaRule gets his head blown off]] with the Super Shotgun]].
* OhCrap: Nilox lose his composure when the Slayer shows him a token that nullifies the protection the priest has on his soul. The two remaining priests share the same reaction when the Slayer tosses Nilox's head at them.
* TheQuisling: While the Khan Maykr is the ultimate leader of what remains of the Sentinel Worlds, the Hell Priests seem to do most of the actual ruling. Deag Grav, in particular, is described as lording over the populace of Sentinel Prime, while Deag Ranak was placed in direct charge of the UAC after Olivia Pierce's death, directing cultist efforts to aid the forces of Hell.
* SmugSnake: Deag Grav more than the rest of them, especially [[spoiler:after the boss battle on Sentinel Prime, [[TooDumbToLive where he has the gall to try and boast]] to the Slayer immediately after he slays his guardian about his blood pact that, if broken, will have all of Urdak and the Sentinels try to kill him. [[YourHeadAsplode The Slayer blows off his head anyway before he can finish boasting]].]]
* SquishyWizard: They are immensely powerful summoners, responsible for orchestrating not only the fall of Argent D'Nur, but are leading the invasion of Earth [[spoiler:at the behest of the [[ManBehindTheMan Khan Maykr]]]], but once the Slayer reaches any of them, he effortlessly kills them before they can either cast something noteworthy or begin monologuing his ears off.
* TheUriahGambit: The Hell Priests betrayed the Night Sentinels by sending them on a mission against Nekravol, only to use their magic to separate them and cut them off from escape, leaving them divided and vulnerable to the ravening demons that killed all of them except the Slayer himself.
* WasOnceAMan: They were once high priests of Argent D'Nur, before abandoning any semblance of their humanity to become undying demonic monsters with great power.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Within the first few minutes of the game, Deag Nilox ends up choked by the Doom Slayer so hard his head snaps off his body. His total screentime amounts to ''[[ExaggeratedTrope 16 seconds.]]''
* YourHeadASplode: How [[spoiler:Grav]] goes out, courtesy of [[spoiler:the Slayer's Super Shotgun]].
* YouWouldntShootMe: [[spoiler:Even as he was staring down the barrels of the Slayer's Super Shotgun, Deag Grav was confident he wouldn't dare pull the trigger and risk losing his sovereignty among the remaining Sentinels. [[BoomHeadshot He was wrong.]]]]
