The Tyrant emerging from a slipgate.

The Tyrant is a new monster in Doom Eternal, and the next iteration in the class of cyberdemons. It bears a close resemblance to the classic cyberdemon, with a similar suite of cybernetics, a gored abdomen, and a weapon which replaces its left arm. Unlike its Doom II counterpart, its eyes are not red; instead, they are yellowish-white. It also appears to be equipped with a metallic skeleton and an Argent accumulator, like its immediate predecessor. Their attack behaviors are unchanged, but they don't have the dash ability of the previous iteration, making them very slow and cumbersome.

As of the pre-order trailer, the Tyrant has been confirmed to be a recurring major enemy, unlike its previous iteration.

Appearance

The Tyrant is bipedal in nature, and draws many similarities to the original Cyberdemon, although with the absence of hock joints that gave it more goat-like legs. Both it's right leg and left arm are cybernetically enhanced, with minimal cybernetics along it's right arm. The Tyrant's ribs are exposed, with it's intestines replaced with tubing. It's spine looks to be mechanical, with vertebrae jutting out from the flesh. The Tyrant has two large horns on each side of it's head, and a bulbous cranium.

Tactical Analysis

The Tyrant mainly attacks by firing missiles from its arm cannon. If it cannot see the player, it makes exploding runes appear all around the battlefield. It has a huge amount of health and no weak points. When it sees the player, it takes a moment for it to take aim, so you can use this window of time to attack. It is also slow to turn, so dashing around it is a good way to get a hit in.

Glory kills

• The Doom Slayer repeatedly stabs the Tyrant in the eye, causing it to crash to the ground.
• The Doom Slayer uses the Doom blade to cut the Tyrant's leg off. Once it falls to its knees, he beheads it.

Trivia

Despite appearing to have an organic face, the Tyrant's skull can be exposed to reveal a mechanical eye with a red lens.

Lore

Demon Lords of the Black Soul Pits of Babel, the Tyrants have long served as wardens and slavers of the infernal pits. Weaponized and cybernetically altered by the UAC, the Tyrants are tasked with overseeing the collection and extraction of sin-branded human souls from the mortal world. They impose rule as ordained by the Unholy Sigil of the elder demon gods. Sadistic masters of lesser demons, the Tyrants are feared for their cruelty and malice.
