Pain elemental

The pain elemental is a Doom II monster that is similar to the cacodemon; they are both floating spheres with a single eye and a large toothy mouth. The main differences in respect to its counterpart are that its hide is leathery brown, it has two small arms akin to the spiderdemon's pair of limbs, and is crowned by only two dark curved horns (similar to the cyberdemon's horns) on the top of its spherical body.

The Doom II manual describes the monster this way: What a name. And what a guy. Killing him is almost as bad as letting him live.
