Ettin



Ettins are monsters from Hexen. They are two-headed monsters outfitted with armor and maces, but are essentially the lowest tier of monster and very straightforward to kill, even with 175 hit points. Ettins are also the most common enemy in the game, and the first encountered. Their melee attacks consist of mace swings; however, these only cause a small amount of damage and are easily dodged by the player. They gib when they take too much damage or get killed by the Quietus, Wraithverge, or Bloodscourge weapons.

Ettins are the most common monsters in Hexen scripted monster spawning scripts, appearing every four minutes in all but two of the original game maps and in twelve out of twenty of the expansion. In these twelve maps, they are chosen 70% of the time in two, 60% in five, and 30% in the remaining five. There is also a "mash" version of this creature that may be spawned by scripts while fighting Korax.
