- Options for controlling enemy spawns and new behavior
- Uses damage types found in various mods, such as HoD BARON, DRLA and other mods of mine and Yholl's
- Includes codex in the files with more detailed information

- Cybers are slow but much more durable than a non-cyber cousin. They have a wide variety of weapons
- Cybers resist Physical but are weak to Plasma and very weak to Electricity
- Undead are slow, durable and their corpses must be destroyed or they will get back up
- Undead are immune to Unholy and Poison but very weak to Fire
- Brains are resistant to elements and magic, but are weak to melee attacks.
- They can generate Barriers that protect them from direct attack.
- Human enemies do not infight each other
Spoiler: Damage Type DetailsThe Bestiary
- Melee, SmallArms and LongArms are known together as 'Physical'
- Melee is melee attacks, obviously, but is also generic applications of force, such as psychic attacks or throwing rocks
- SmallArms is smaller caliber bullets, like pistols and SMGs, and equivalent. Anything stopped by soft armor
- LongArms is intermediate caliber bullets, like rifles, and equivalent. Anything that is typically stopped by ceramic plates.
- Fire, Ice and Electricity are known together as 'Elemental'
- Fire attacks deal medium random damage, and higher level attacks can burn you for light DoT. They fly at medium speed
- Electric attacks deal a set amount of damage. Higher level attacks can magnetize you, increasing the damage you take. Electric attacks fly the fastest, or may be hitscans
- Ice attacks deal wildly random damage, from 1 to up to double the damage of Fire attacks. Higher level Ice attacks chill you, reducing movement. Ice attacks travel slowly.
- Plasma attacks deal high random damage and fly faster than Fire attacks do. They have no special properties
- Grave attacks deal high random Unholy damage but fly at around the same speed as Fire attacks. They have no special properties.
- Hellfire attacks are much stronger and faster Fire attacks. They always burn you badly, dealing greater DoT than Fire attacks.
- Piercing attacks are anything that can't be stopped by traditional body armor. This can be stuff like rockets, high level magic, high caliber bullets like .50 BMG or high powered lasers. Sometimes ignores armor completely.
- Bullet, PLWater and Poison are included in defenses/weakness, but nothing uses these types to attack.

Humans, Turncoats and Possessed
Many of Hell’s denizens lack forms, being floating souls and spirits damned to suffer for their sins in life. Most demons consume these souls for power, pleasure or sustenance. With the Gates of Hell being opened, these wretched souls rush out, overtaking the minds and bodies of weak willed or near death humans. The possession restores and rejuvenates their bodies, making them ideal ground troopers and cannon fodder. These spirits can even possess the dead, but the results are less than ideal. Human technology is surprisingly advanced, allowing them to augment their bodies with cybernetics. Too bad this doesn’t augment their minds…
Even in this sorry state, humans are masters of communication and have much more even tempers than demons. They will not fire on their non-demonic allies. All of them carry some sort of radio, allowing them to alert others.
Zombiemen are just staff, possessed or freshly raised grabbing the closest gun they can, and as such are bad shots. There were soldiers around, however, and they are much MUCH better shots…
SPECIAL : Will check fire lines and reposition. Soldiers and Commandos throw grenades. Soldiers and Commandos wear armor that resist Physical.
Spawns are a mixed pool, instead of being set monsters. Humans can have pistols, SMGs, rifles or LMGs. They are extremely dangerous but fragile.
Imps
- Faculty - Human
- Soldiers - Human
- Commandos - Human
- Zombies - Undead
- Unwilling - Demon, Lesser
- BOSS - Zombie Horde - Undead
- BOSS - Cyborg Scout - Human/Cyber
- BOSS - Cyborg Commando - Human/Cyber
The lowest intelligent demon in Hell. Despite its status at the bottom of the food chain, imps are still much stronger and hardier than humans, and have a natural knack for magic. Even the weakest of imps is capable of throwing fireballs, and imps that hone their magic skills are fearsome opponents.
Imps, being the most common and numerous of Hell's legions, come in a variety of shapes and have a variety of abilities. Some even practice necromancy and become undead.
Imps stand between 5’ 10” and 8’ 4” tall, and weigh between 200 lbs and 410 lbs. Despite lacking reproductive organs and obvious outward appearance, they are shockingly similar to humans in physiology. The brown coloration of their bodies is from a fine layer of fur; their skin is a dark grey in color. Dark Imps and Harvesters lack this fur. The entire species is subject to various physical mutations, but these mutations seem to have no effect on the creatures’ social hierarchy.
Their Sin is Sloth, for they have yet to realize their potential.
Special: Quick and agile, able to leap and lunge
- Imp - Demon, Lesser
- Dark Imp - Demon, Lesser
- Frost Imp - Demon, Lesser
- Harvester - Undead
- Cyber Imp - Cyber/Demon, Lesser
- BOSS - Imp Mage - Demon, Greater
Pinkies
One of the few demons to lack any kind of designation. Nicknamed “pinky” by the humans who fight them, these demons relentlessly pursue prey, voraciously consuming the flesh and organs of those unfortunate enough to get too close to this maw with legs. They seem to lack any advanced intelligence, acting almost animal-like in their hunts. Death does not come easy for these creatures, as they can shrug off even mortal wounds, and worse yet, recover quickly from glancing blows. They do not possess the ability to regrow lost limbs, but even these wounds will close off and the creature can quickly make a full recovery.
Autopsies have shown these creatures have several redundant organs and extremely strong bones, including a dummy brain, 3 hearts, 4 lungs and an entire back up nervous system. They lack a proper digestive system, having only a throat and stomach, but no intestines nor a colon. It’s believed they can burn up physical matter in their stomachs to fuel their regenerative powers, a trait only seen in demons when consuming souls. Other demons refer to them a little more than animals or cattle. Pinkies are permanently hunched over, being between 5’ 6” and 6’ 3” in height. Stretched out, they can stand nearly 8’. They weigh between 350 lbs and 500 lbs. Despite having fully developed arms with usable thumbs, they are rarely seen using them.
Their Sin is Lust, for they relentlessly pursue their desire for flesh and blood. They are quick to close in on prey, working in tandem with other pinkies and demons. Often used as meat shields and attack animals by other demons. Seems to lack any sense of self-preservation, either through stupidity or a primal bravado.
SPECIAL: Regenerates health. Has a 10% chance to cheat death, getting back up with full health but bleeding out. Gibbing prevents this.
Lost Souls
- Pinky - Demon, Lesser
- Dark Pinky - Demon, Lesser
- Cyber Pinky - Cyber/Demon, Lesser
Wandering souls of the damned and departed are often shapeless masses of energy floating throughout Hell. Sometimes, these souls possess the myriad of skulls and heads lying about, forming into this demon. Despite being largely insignificant, one should not underestimate these flying apparitions, or you would find yourself overwhelmed in a flurry of tooth and horn.
Extremely weak but almost always appearing in large numbers, Lost Souls flit about Hell’s legions, having no real place in the hierarchy and doing as they will. Most demons tolerate their presence, as they aimless go about, seemingly searching for their salvation.
Their Sin is many, as they are the lost and the damned.
SPECIAL : Attacks deal elemental damage.
Revenants
- Lost Soul - Demon, Lesser
- Damned Soul - Demon, Lesser
Not even death is a final respite from Hell, as proven by these juggernauts of bone and metal. Crafted from the bones of fallen demons and humans alike, revenants serve as perfectly obedient shock troopers and special weapons platforms. Further enhanced by cybernetics, they charge forth firing shoulder cannons hoping to tear enemies apart with their bare hands.
This simplistic behavior can be explained by the use of a pinky brain as a kind of CPU. Once a human brain was used in hopes of creating a smarter and more useful combatant, but this revenant was considered a failure; the mind binding spells failed, it retained its sentience and now rages throughout Hell.
Special: Armor breaks on death, disabling weapons
Cacodemons
- Revenant - Undead
- Para-Revenant - Undead
- Heavy Revenant - Undead
Listless demons coming in a slew of forms, these are some of the few demons that do not show outward maliciousness. Some barely show intelligence, as they can be seen bumping into walls and chewing on structures and doors. Charged with elemental energy, usually lightning, and mildly psionic, they are dangerous combatants when enraged and will not hesitate to kill an aggressor.
Often sharing territory with other demons, some greater demons can be seen domesticating them as pets and guard dogs. With sharp elemental charged fangs and the ability to spit elemental energy balls while being able to fly and being incredibly hardy, they serve this job well. Attempts to cybernize them have failed, as the elemental energies of their bodies interferes with the machinery, and their minds are shielded from mental attack. Somehow.
Autopsies have failed to identify what the two holes on their backs are. They lack a digestive system, and they don’t appear to have the internal reproductive organs. The only demon where a juvenile version has been discovered. This fact, along with the fact that they lack a Sin, lead some to believe Cacodemons are not demons at all. But, what are they then…?
Special: Wanders around after spawning. Large chance to be docile. Have disproportionately powerful special attacks.
Hell Knight
- Cacodemon - Demon, Middle
- Cacoboreal - Demon, Middle
- Cacoflame - Demon, Middle
- Cacolich - Undead/Demon, Middle
- BOSS - Broodmother - Demon, Greater
A seemingly lesser version of the mighty Barons of Hell, these titans of muscle can be seen charging through and breaking defensive lines all over the Earth. Despite the visual similarity, not much is known about the connection between Hell Knights and Barons of Hell.
Their Sin is Wrath, barely contained in their bodies. Their anger is so great as to impede on their ability to coordinate with other demons, and to stunt their magical growth. Repeatedly attacking these creatures can lead to them flying into a rage, tearing ally and enemy apart in a rampage.
SPECIAL: Hitting them increases a hidden Rage meter. When maxed, goes berserk, increasing speed and agility while being unable to use spells.
Pain Elementals
- Hell Knight - Demon, Middle
- Cyber Knight - Cyber/Demon, Middle
- BOSS - Labolas - Demon, Greater
Horrible brown balls of hate whose very innards burn with the fires of Hell. Despite physical similarities, these creatures are in no way related to the less malevolent Cacodemon. Name for their great pleasure of causing any and all other creatures around them agony in any form. The souls they consume burn within them in constant pain, before they are broken and form into Lost Souls. They spit these Lost Souls as a form of defense, and as a final act of cruelty, violently explode into flame and release any Lost Souls left in them.
While their arms are nearly useless, these creatures are far from defense less. In short ranges, their rows of teeth can deliver horrible gnashing wounds, and they can breath fire to a limited extend. Even among the horrible denizens of Hell, these are greatly hated creatures, and often float about alone, trying to find some other being to agonize. It would be almost side if they weren’t all huge dicks. How the Spiders gained any form of cooperation from them is a mystery.
Their Sin is Envy, for they hate all around them and desire all that they do not own. If only to take it from another creature. Some demonic texts suggest that the Pain Elemental is merely a cocoon, consuming vast amounts of souls to feed the growth of something within. Something much, much worse…
SPECIAL: Explodes on death, dealing damage and spawning more Lost Souls
Mancubus
- Pain Elemental - Demon, Middle
- Torment Elemental - Demon, Middle
Large and corpulent demons. They lumber around Hell, eating and killing anything they can get their claws on. One of the few demons that uses weapons in this modern age, with Astaroth Flame Cannons strapped to each arm. These cannons are hooked into the Mancubus’ body, weaponizing the gases they produce from feeding.
Surprisingly little is known about these hefty giants. Their bodies deflate when killed, and this makes autopsy reports unreliable and inconsistent. Why they seem to melt off their bones is a mystery, but one hypothesis is that they have some kind of organ that consumes the gas in their bodies. With their death, the organ fails and the gas rapidly eats away at their flesh causing them to seemingly melt. It produces a noxious odor but is otherwise harmless. They stand at 8’ tall, and are all the same height somehow.
Their Sin is Gluttony, for they consume all in their maws and their flames. The only demon that cooks their meat before consumption, though they are perfectly capable of eating it raw.
SPECIAL: Explodes into a fiery explosion on gibb or death to Fire elemental attacks.
Barons of Hells
- Mancubus - Demon, Middle
- Dark Mancubus - Demon, Middle
- Cyro Mancubus - Demon, Middle
Towering behemoths of demons. Commonly known as Hell Nobles. These creatures are intelligent, physically powerful and capable of casting powerful magic. Standing high in Hell’s hierarchy of violence, these bruisers answer only to the Masterminds themselves. Many variants of this demon exist, specializing in different types of magic, but all are experts of destruction. While more than capable in melee with sharp claws and powerful muscles, they prefer standing back and throwing magic while lesser demons overwhelm their enemies.
Barons of Hell stand between 9’ and 12’ feet tall, and weigh between 1300 lbs and 2100 lbs. Their bodies consist of almost entirely muscle and bone, with very little fat and no digestive tract. They have very large, green hearts and an intestine-like organ of an unknown purpose. It is unknown what causes the green coloration of their blood, but it evaporates shortly after coagulation. Bones and skulls are many times thicker than expected for their size, and the skin is thick enough to deflect small arms fire.
Their Sin is Greed, for they desire the power of the dark gods they serve.
SPECIAL: Throws counter attacks and are 50% resistant to Small Arms.
Archviles
- Baron of Hell - Demon, Greater
- Baron of Flames - Demon, Greater
- Baron of Darkness - Demon, Greater
- Baron of Rime - Demon, Greater
- Baron Mage - Demon, Greater
- Cyber Baron - Demon, Greater/Cyber
- BOSS - Bruiser Demon - Demon, Greater
Truly the most demonic of demons, Archviles serve as generals of Hell’s army and guide worship of its dark Icons, commanding respect from even the stubborn Nobles. Powerful magicians, with inherent abilities to summon or revive other demons and an unnatural durability, they make for some of the most terrifying combatants. Thankfully they prefer to guide away from the front line. They seem to be one of the few demons capable and willing to deal with humans, but these “Deals with the devil” never end well for the mortal soul involved.
Their Sin is Pride, the greatest of sins, for they will not act on anyone’s behalf but their own. They are one of the few demons shown to have a specified gender, though no female Arch-viles have been observed. This, combined with their tenancy to take human prisoners for some dark purpose and their observed capacity for cruelty, has troubling implications.
Many Archviles focus on one aspect of magic, but the terrible Bishops are masters of all, and should be avoided at all costs. These so called Elemental Archviles are no more powerful than common members of their ilk, but possess great mastery of their chosen element and possess many powerful abilities.
SPECIAL: Has force armor that resists 50% of all damage and makes them immune to pain. Armor can be broken. Can revive dead demons or summon new ones, but never both.
Archnotrons
- Archvile - Demon, Greater
- Voltaic Archvile - Demon, Greater
- Boreal Archvile - Demon, Greater
- Wizard- Demon, Greater
Enforcers of the Spider Masterminds’ wills, these creatures patrol around on metal bodies made of an unknown metal sporting powerful plasma repeaters. Between this chassis and their natural Psionic barriers, Archnotrons are formidable and sturdy foes, able to hold their own against the physically stronger demons.
It is debated if these creatures and the Masterminds they serve are demons at all. They aren’t seen coordinating with demons outside of direction, are quick to fight them, don’t possess magic, don’t heed the word of Archviles and Nobles, don’t participate in rituals and don’t consume souls. In fact, they have never been seen speaking to another demon, but this may be a result of the creature being telepathic.
The exact relation to Spider Masterminds is unclear. Both are physically similar and share Psionic abilities, with Masterminds being much stronger and larger. One hypothesis is that they are the same creature, Archnotrons being males and Masterminds being the females.
SPECIAL: Will check fire lines and reposition. Chance to self destruct on death.
Cyberdemon
- Arachnotron - Brain
- Arachnodrone - Undead/Cyber/Brain
Gargantuan demons of immense power, these titans of flesh and metal are created from the corpses of the long dead protodemons, said to be the precursors of the venerable Demon Lords, rulers of Hell and the true children of the Icon of Sin. Where the Spiderdemons found these corpses is unknown, but through necromancy and cybernetics they live again to spread terror and destruction throughout Hell and beyond.
Some say that the protodemons still live. If this is true, they must be exceedingly rare, excessively powerful, ancient beyond measure and an offense to the Demon Lords. One such Lord may appear to deal with the protodemon personally…
SPECIAL: Resists Elemental, Physical and Magic. Resist splash damage.
Spider Mastermind
- Cyberdemon - Cyber/Demon, Proto
Also known as Spiderdemons, these beings stand atop the pillar of Hell, answering to no one as they direct the forces of Hell against Earth. Old records of Hell fail to mention these demons or their offshoots, appearing suddenly a mere few thousand years ago, bringing upheaval and cybernetics with them, knocking Hell Nobles from the top to become the new alpha demon. Some believe they are not demons at all, or at least that they do not originate from Hell. Why the Icon of Sin and the Demon Lords allow them to exist is a mystery known only to them.
Unlike most, Spiderdemons do not have a Sin. They crush enemies from afar with oppressive Psionic attacks, and powerful weaponry attached to gigantic metallic chassis. Their large bodies, Psionic barriers and cybernetic legs allow these creatures to sustain incredible amounts of punishment.
SPECIAL: Chassis grants resistance to several damage types and possesses a wide array of weapons.
- Spider Mastermind
