'''Hissy''' is a plush Cacodemon created by Jonas Feragen (Chrozoron) sometime around 1994-1995. Hissy has become somewhat of an icon among certain portions of the Doom community. She is also the mascot of the Doom Wiki itself. She even appears in the Skulltag source port, and the WADs Cacodemon Squad, EarthBound Doom and Action Doom.

The '''Doom source code''' was released December 23, 1997, initially under a not-for-profit license. Later, permission was granted to re-release the source code under the GNU GPL on October 3, 1999.
  
Hissy was originally slated to go on a "world tour", visiting one Doomer every two weeks, and then passed on to the next Doomer on the list.

Before release, the source code was tidied up by Bernd Kreimeier; the source release includes a changelog of his contributions. Several documentation files are also included.
