Arch-vile (Doom 3)

The Arch-Vile in Doom 3 is a large, off-white coloured humanoid demon, capable of summoning many of the non-boss demons (though Imps & zombie commandos are more common). It can also slash its victims at close range, as well as raise a wall of fire that can seriously hurt the player, causing up to 20 points of damage.

As with its previous Doom incarnations, the Arch-Vile can be easily underestimated. Though possessing less then half the hit points of the Hell Knight, the Arch-Vile's varied attacks & ability to summon other demons make it one of the tougher enemies to defeat. It is often thought of by the Doom community as "very much deserving of a Soul-cubing or a quick blast from the BFG."
