I think its health is too low. It should be increased to 50 or 70. It also should be a little taller so you don't step over it, unless that was the intention. For sounds, the camouflage sound should be different, every time it turns transparent I though I picked up something. It could also use a custom sound for its death, it doesn't fit the tiny robotic noises it makes. The attack sound doesn't fit for such a weak shooter. For its attack, maybe it should turn visible again while firing, so it doesn't become too cheap to use in groups. As for the sprites, do you still have the original brain graphics? This monster would benefit of being truecolor instead of paletted.

I'm also currently working on better sounds. As for original brain graphics, I lost them, I'm afraid.

Anyway, here are some issues in no particular order: - You should use PK3 archives for submissions instead of WADs. - On the subject of sounds, a sound that is just a single shot would be better than multiple shots. Since currently it sounds like it's firing way more than it actually is. - The lighting produced by the Robobrain is constant, and since it just fires in place. The monster just permanently lights up until it stops shooting. Maybe make it so only the frame where it fires its' hitscan attack has a light attached. And suggestions: - Since the monster already has an editor number anyway, I'd suggested giving it a [ //$Category key](https://zdoom.org/wiki/Editor_keys) to put it in the "Monsters" category in the editor. - Instead of using the actual integer values for the render style changes. [ You should use the named enums of said styles to make the code readable.](https://zdoom.org/wiki/A_SetRenderStyle) Instead of people having to try and find what number corresponds to which style. - Maybe instead of the subtractive render style, try using some other combination of render style and alpha. [ Since the monster kinda sticks out even in dark places.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/762804188807168010/1093924515534352526/Robobrain_Hiding.png) - Instead of just having it constantly shoot in place, perhaps you could have it have a chance to move by calling A\_Wander a few times. Could also help it when it's cloaked, since otherwise the cloak is kinda pointless when its' constantly attacking.

The frame offsets also tend to jitter while animated, you should check the original Arachnotron sprite offsets to get the right idea.
