A pinky.

The pinky is the new form of the demon in Doom (2016). Referred to as a demonic animal, the codex states that it is unnamed by the demons in Hell, and as such the UAC simply named it for its predominantly pink coloration. It was initially discovered by the Lazarus Project during the Tethering Operation.

Tactical analysis

The pinky is fast, and in its most common form it has a thick plating of bony armor on the front of its head which is nigh impervious to damage. It will charge at the player on sight and attempt to inflict bites. The most prudent strategy is to get it to charge into a wall, which will stun it temporarily, and then circle around to attack its vulnerable back side. Unlike some of the other demons, the pinky is much, much tougher than its older game counterparts and can instantly kill you even if your health is a little low so it may be prudent to save your chainsaw for it.
