Cyberdemon



The Cyberdemon is perhaps the most difficult enemy in classic Doom. It attacks by firing a barrage of three rockets. It has 4000 hit points and does not receive splash damage, making it fairly difficult to kill. The cyberdemon is a boss at the end of Doom level E2M8.

The Doom II manual's description is as follows:

''The Cyberdemon: A missile-launching skyscraper with goat legs. 'Nuff said.''

The Cyberdemon isn't listed in the PC Doom I manual, presumably to make the bossfight with it on E2M8: The Tower of Babel a surprise. Although the SNES manual for Doom I does mention of the Cyberdemon:

''Cyberdemon: Half unfeeling machine, half raging horned devil. This walking nightmare has a rocket launcher for an arm and will definately [sic] reach out and touch you. Make sure you're loaded for bear before you get to this guy.''
