Mancubus gathering in MAP07: Dead Simple

Mancubi are enormously bloated, cumbersome but tough demons that look somewhat like extremely overweight humans. They do have some distinct demon features though - all green eyes, deformed feet, pointy teeth and three pairs of nipples. [1] In addition their arms have been replaced by huge, rapid-firing fireball cannons powered by a generator strapped onto their backs. The game manual describes the Mancubus as follows:

The only good thing about fatso is that he's a nice wide target. Good thing, because it takes a lot of hits to puncture him. He pumps out fireballs like there was no tomorrow.

The plural of Mancubus is "Mancubi" rather than "Mancubuses": this is according to John Romero, who was asked as to the correct plural form. This is possibly a hypercorrection, but nonetheless should be considered the correct plural of Mancubus.

In the Doom novels, they are unchanged. They have so much fat and so many skin rolls, however, that their eyes and ears are almost completely covered, leaving them nearly deaf and with poor eyesight. They are also believed to be an early attempt to grow genetic human copies.
