The '''Doomhunter''' is a new [[monster]] which first occurs in [[Doom Eternal]]. It is a half-demon, half-mechanical monstrosity, reminiscent of [[Sabaoth]], armed with multiple weapons, including a large cannon, a dual-bladed chainsaw, two forward-facing guns which likely fire plasma projectiles, and a multiple-launch missile system. It hovers and moves via jets that fire below and behind it. It has been referred to as an "arch-nemesis" of the [[Doom Slayer]] by [[id Software]]. Voice-over from a mysterious antagonist indicates that the Doomhunter was designed by a force outside of [[Hell]] itself and that it serves this different, albeit seemingly aligned, force.

The Doomhunter is a new monster which first occurs in Doom Eternal. It is a half-demon, half-mechanical monstrosity, reminiscent of Sabaoth, armed with multiple weapons, including a large cannon, a dual-bladed chainsaw, two forward-facing guns which likely fire plasma projectiles, and a multiple-launch missile system. It hovers and moves via jets that fire below and behind it. It has been referred to as an "arch-nemesis" of the Doom Slayer by id Software. Voice-over from a mysterious antagonist indicates that the Doomhunter is an ancient type of demon specifically created to hunt the Doom Slayer, that its present form was designed by a force outside of Hell itself, and that it now serves this different, albeit seemingly aligned, force.

"I thought you'd appreciate the sentry I chose. The great [?] from the [?] Realm, though long thought to be extinct, created to hunt only the Slayer and his Night Sentinels during the Unholy Crusade... Some improvements to the design have been made, and you're going to navigate my finest work."
