Heretic / Hexen Style

This category displays only the monsters which are based on similar Heretic/Hexen monsters or fit better in Heretic/Hexen-style settings. This doesn't mean that you can't place them into Doom or Strife maps / mods as well, it is only meant as a little style guide and help.

{tab=Description}
Enchanted gems, crafted by the Serpent Rider's sorcerous minions. The hex prism is a brittle purple crystal, containing swirling necrotic energies. When an enemy approaches, these energies are focused into deadly orbs that are then released with swift, deadly effect.

This is an immobile, turret type enemy. When the target is within sight and range (1024 map units) it will fire a steady stream of purple projectiles. Useful for setting up traps, guarding doors, chokepoints, keys etc. Toggle the FRIENDLY flag for some helpful defensive firepower.

{tab=Description}
Similar to the Lost Soul, the Lost Spirit will charge at its target, but the duration of the attack is limited to about 1.5 seconds. When closer to the target, it shoots two projectiles with a limited range. The Lost Spirit deals more damage and has more health than the Lost Soul. It is a ghost, so it feels no pain and it can fly through anything (only collides with other actors during the charge attack).

Looks like a standard golem, but with an ice-like recolour. Can use three different attacks: melee attacks, regular missile attacks (Ghastly_dragon's Frostfang ice shards) and a super missile attack (Powered Frostfang ice ball). It's stronger and faster than regular Nitrogolems and the super attack, although it happens with low probability, is an almost sure one-shot, so use with care.
