Favorite Custom Monsters and Weapons

[Pure Hellspawn]

I was interested of what monsters people like. I have always been a fan of custom monsters made for ZDoom, such as the Afrit (just as an example).


Here are some I like (from GZScoreDoom, a custom monster mod I have been playing recently)


Weak Monsters (Trooper, Sergeant, Chaingunner, Imp, Demon, Lost Soul) : Suicide Bomber. I like how this monster goes around screaming (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!) all day long until it finally manages to blow itself up, for some major damage to any unlucky soul that doesn't resist explosions.

Medium Monsters (Cacodemons, Knights, Arachnotrons, Mancubi, Revenants, Pain Elementals):

Maxibus. A radioactive fat monster who apparently looks like it ate too many contaminated burgers at McDonalds. It attacks in two ways; the first way is by firing 3 powerful bolts than can do some serious damage, and the second is by continuous plasma blasts from both it's arms. Oh boy.

Strong Monsters (Barons, Archviles, Spiderdemons, and Cyberdemons):

Demolisher. This monster is a modified Spider mastermind that is sheer power. It had it's chaingun removed and replaced with a big BFG launcher. And to make matters even worse, it got 2 chainguns installed below it's BFG, which it fires immediately after firing the BFG either once or twice.

Weapons
Weak:

WRW's Harpoon. You could do some amazing tricks with pretty much any monster with this weapon. Try circle strafing and pulling a monster with a low body mass!

Medium:

Random Projectile Launcher. You never know what it will summon and if it's gonna help you. One day it might summon guided souls, the other you might be ambushed by a baron and it summons 5 rockets, killing both you and the baron. A very nice weapon.

Strong:

This is a hard one. I liked the AEOD's Hell Heaven Weapon. A very deadly attack, and a defence-attack that leaves you invulnerable at the cost of ammo. Very nice.

Favorite weapons thus far:
Weasel's Locksmith entry shotgun. Something about the feel and sound of this baby.
Xaser's Vortex rifle: I don't even wanna think about how many DeHackEd frames he needed to make this thing work but even today it still kicks ass.
My own One Gauge shotgun: Out of sheer complexity and the amount of time I put into it, obviously. Plus hide away ammo before SBARINFO made it possible!
someone's machinegun: It did Duke Nukem style reloading which was pretty fresh when I thought about it. And then it became my toy for experimenting with the ammo display that hides itself over time.
Lots of Xaser's weapons. They all feel more finished, refined than my own. Or most others I see for that matter.

If we can only choose one, then:
Weapons:
Very Weak: Vile Staff
Weak: Soul Leech
Medium: Vorpal Blade
Strong: SoulReaver
Very Strong: PyroCannon

Monsters:
Very Weak - Nailborg (not necessarily weak, but part of Zombieman class)
Weak - Maelstrom
Medium - Hell Warrior (the old one)
Strong - Tied between Belphegor and Lord of Heresy
Very Strong - Boy, this is difficult. I'd say it's a three-way tie: Hammerhound, HellsBattery, and Killbot

Yeah, I kind of stretched it because it's easier for me to decide.
