Monsters

Lunatic provides two custom, former humanoid monsters.

The first is an edit of the sergeant, and has 40 health. It is armed with a plasma rifle that fires three shots each time it pauses to shoot. This monster replaces the Wolfenstein SS.
The second monster, replacing Commander Keen, is a modified chaingunner that has 75 health and attacks by launching a revenant missile from the large gun on its right arm. The missile retains the 50% chance of following the player.
