The '''demon rune''' is an item in [[Doom (2016)]] which occurs only during [[multiplayer]] and [[SnapMap]] game play. It appears as a floating red pentagram with a number of set spawn points in the level, which appear as small patches of smouldering lava. It transforms a player into one of several powerful demons when touched.

When taken, the player who obtains the demon rune will be transformed into a demon they selected before the match. In multiplayer, with the exception of Soul Harvest mode, this transformation lasts for a total of 60 seconds, after which the player will revert to his or her human form if they have survived. Although each demon is powerful in its own right, it is possible for enemy players to kill the player who has become the demon, and doing so will cause the demon rune to drop, where it can be collected by any other player to transform and lay waste to his or her enemies.

In Soul Harvest, the demon rune is a central feature of the game mode and the transformation time is unlimited - a player must be killed in order to drop the rune. When they are killed, the rune will drop, allowing another player to become the demon, and transferring the souls the demon had captured to their killer.

The [[Gauss cannon]] and the [[BFG-9000 (Doom 2016)|BFG]] are primarily meant to exist as counters to those empowered by the rune.
 
 
The [[Gauss cannon]], [[Chainsaw (Doom 2016)|chainsaw]], and the [[BFG-9000 (Doom 2016)|BFG]] are powerful counters to the demon rune. All of these power weapons can usually obliterate a transformed player entirely.
 
  
 
In SnapMap, the demon rune has no time limit, and the player will not transform back into a human unless they are either killed or are affected by a trigger in the map which changes the player race value back to human. Respawning behavior, if any, is under the control of the map author.
