Hell knight (Doom Eternal)



The Hell knight is a returning demon in the upcoming Doom Eternal. It is similar to its Doom (2016) counterpart and, by extension, its Doom 3 counterpart. The demon's appearance appears to be a refined composite of its appearances in both Doom 3 and Doom (2016), featuring the former's eyes and general skull shape, in addition to some added nuances exclusive to Eternal that bring it closer in style to the other demons. Additionally, in tandem with the new destructible demons system, the knight's face can be damaged to reveal a yellow skull that is similar in shape to the heads of the barons in both Doom Eternal as well as the 2016 game. From the footage seen at, they seem to operate and attack the same way as the 2016 variant, using only melee attacks. More details are needed from id Software.

Lore
The Hell Knights are unusual among demons for their innate respect for the infernal hierarchy, having served for generations as the enforcers of the Archdemons' will. For the duration of their natural lifespans, they employ their brutality to command lesser demons and their sheer strength as warriors to slay the enemies of Hell.
