DoomKrakken's Monster Randomizer [v5a] (21-12-19)

Note beforehand: This thread is a continuation of DoomKrakken's original thread about his Monster Randomizer mod. As he has granted me permission to take over this mod, I've decided to start a new thread, but keep the original name in his honour.
Introduction
With that out of the way, lets (re)introduce this mod! DoomKrakken's Monster Randomizer (or DMR for short) is a monster randomizer mod for Doom / Doom II powered by the majiq of DECORATE and RandomSpawners. Originally designed as an add-on mod for Guncaster, it has grown beyond that original idea. The randomized monsters vary from slightly more difficult then their vanilla brethren, to oh-crap-where-did-I-leave-my-BFG levels of difficulty.
The main idea is that each vanilla Doom monster has a 50% chance of staying the same, and 50% chance of being replaced by a variant. As my spriting knowledge is rather limited, expect many Realm667 sprites for now.
This mod should be able to be run with any weapons / gameplay mod that doesn't replace the monsters itself. Sticking with the original mod's intentions, a Guncaster compatibility patch has been provided, which applies some additional changes (or even variants) to the monsters.
Changelist
GCP = Guncaster patch
v5a (21-12-19)
Downloads
Main monster mod
DMR v5a
Guncaster compatibility patch - Requires the main mod as well
GCP v5a
Guncaster patch has been confirmed to work with Guncaster 3.5a.
Older versions of Guncaster (earlier then 3.3) are not supported. If you want to try the mod with an earlier version of Guncaster, I suggest seeing if the older version of the mod / patch works. You can find these here here (in the downloads section of the first post). Note that the v4 Guncaster compatibility patch on the front page does not work with the 3.0 / 3.1 release of Guncaster!
You can find the v4b version of the Guncaster compatibility patch in this post. Run it as described in How to run it, only using the older versions.
How to run it
Get a copy of Doom or Doom II, get GZDoom (3.4.1 release or newer is recommended), and load it up with your favourite weapons mod.
Load order is as follows:
-Weapons mod
-DMR main
For Guncaster players, you should load the compatibility patch after Guncaster and the main mod, the load order is as follows:
-Guncaster
-DMR main
-Guncaster patch
If you want to disable the additional graphical effects, either change it in the mod options, or open the console and enter the following:
dmr_fancydoom 0
Replace the 0 with a 1 to enable the additional effects again.
Monsters
Bit outdated as of now (22-09-19), will be updated later on.
Following is the list of monster variants as they are currently implemented. Some monster variants are shared across multiple vanilla Doom monsters. This list will be expanded over time, and provide a bit of background lore I cooked up. The lore shouldn't be taken seriously, as I find it a more interesting way then noting "Super Imp is stronger then the normal Imp, fires two fireballs, yadda yadda"
Credits
Quite a list. For now I've included a credits header in the DECORATE files per monster with the credits as far as I know. The remainder of the credits are as following:
