5The ghouls, which previously appeared in the "Ghouls' Forest" Doom [[GameMod levels]] before making it to the multiplayer game, are mostly huge floating scary heads which kill people (Choke, Sjas, Creeper, Jitterskull, Frostbite). The humans are specialists armed with weapons of various kinds, depending on their class (Marine, Hunter, Cyborg, Ghostbuster, Engineer). Basically, one team is the NightmareFuel and the other team are the unfortunate recipients.

14* AllThereInTheManual: [[http://cutstuff.net/blog/ The author's blog]] ''used'' to contain backstories for all the ghouls and characters. Then the author deleted them all, [[http://cutstuff.net/blog/?p=1 deciding they were "no longer needed".]] Thankfully, they can still be found at the [[http://web.archive.org/web/20100218024409/http://cutstuff.net/blog/?page_id=23 Internet Archive]] (see the "Characters" section in the menu).

17* {{Cyborg}}: One of the human classes.
18* DeadlyDisc: One of the Engineer's weapons.
19* FireIceLightning: The Hunger has fire, ice and lightning arrows.
20* FlashStep: The Jitterskull always moves like this, which makes it really hard to control.
21* JetPack: Used by the Cyborg.
22* JokeCharacter: The Christmas Update introduced Santa to the humans team, with "Holly berry traps" and a "star cannon". A few months later he was reskinned into the Engineer.

24* LightningBruiser: Pretty much all the ghouls.
25* SuperScream: Sjas's supersonic shout attack.
26* MouthCam: Most of the ghouls, when you play as them.
27* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Choke, Frostbite, Jitterskull.
28* OurGhoulsAreCreepier: They're giant floating heads, for one. They're still undead though.
