Mancubus (Doom Eternal)



The mancubus returns in Doom Eternal with a new design based on its appearance in Doom II. It now has smaller, greenish eyes, and it has a green, round object on its chest. It largely maintains the same attack behaviors as the version in the previous game, including the ability to use dual flamethrowers at short range in addition to its usual fireball launchers. Its close range area-of-effect attack has been changed to leave an area of damaging ground in order to ward players from staying close to it. It is seen to be controlled by another player in the Demon Invasion gamemode. Due to the destructible demons system, the mancubus cannons can be damaged, making the attacks from the aforementioned cannons significantly weaker and disabling the flamethrower function. It will be a playable monster in the Battlemode with smoke bombs as its special ability.

A cybernetics-enhanced version of the mancubus again occurs as the cyber-mancubus.

Lore
While the Mancubi encountered on Earth are part of the same species as those first seen on Mars, the armor plating that has replaced their original carapaces and enhanced flame cannons suggest that the forces of Hell seek to improve their already potent fighting skill.
