Intergalactic Xenology 2

Intergalactic Xenology 2 is a five level Boom PWAD for Doom II created by Dreadopp and Lord_Z, and is a sequel to their 2020 mapset, Intergalactic Xenology. Like its predecessor, it makes use of the Ancient Aliens texture pack, and shares a similar theme.

The WAD was first announced on the Doomworld forums on May 23, 2021 and was a runner up in the 2021 Cacowards.

Custom monsters
Intergalactic Xenology 2 includes updated sprites for items and monsters, most notably the arachnotron, mancubus, and revenant. Further, the stealth plasma alien replaces Wolfenstein SS with 30 hit points and Commander Keen is replaced with the alien guardian, a rotating, floating orb that fires revenant projectiles.
