How about monsters that just look casually feminine (IE: long hair or female-ish skeleton) but act like any other monster otherwise?

Moe, rounded off means "adorable". Doesn't relate to Hentai at all. From Haruhi Suzumiya series, Mikuru falls under this. /endnerd

I forget if I brought it up in the other post I made recently on the topic, but ( excluding the former humans ) there aren't really any masculine demons in the first place. The nobles are the most overtly male demons, but mind actual breasts are pretty uniquely a human thing, only really shared with our closest ancestors ( and let me tell you, the first time you see those in a zoo it's going to trip you up extremely just because of how uncanny that human trait is on something else ) so even the absolutely ripped pecs those guys have don't exactly insure that they're male. Heck, Spider Masterminds are explicitly female, and you could probably consider Pain Elementals female considering they're the only enemies that aren't literally a wall that create other enemies. So the only real thing keeping Doom's bestiary from including female demons is yourself; really, we could probably facetiously call Doom a pro-MRA game where the one true manly hero must save the universe from the monster feminists that are seeking to destroy everything because the only way to be right is to have a dick. :P

To me, demons are, more or less, ghost-like-beeings that can take a physical form. So technically, their body can be male/female, but not their spirit.

Demons aren't animals, they aren't people, they aren't anything natural or biological, they are demons. They are embodied spirits. They are supernatural entities. Having male and female demons is a dumb idea.


Furthermore, given that Doom did away with the "little pitchfork-wielding dude in a red suit" depiction, then similarly traditional iconography like the temptress succubus is equally not justified.

Food for thought: If we consider only normal Earth mammal biology, Doom's demons are either already female or are genderless, as they don't have dongs. :P

We need a sprite replacement mod.

Or a dating sim.

Not sure now.

(Also, an e-acute is never silent so Leilei's attempt fails.)

black, usually. :V

On that note, if we try to reverse-engineer the look from angels, who are traditionally
1. huge
2. androgynous
3. assumed masculine because of male privilege

then maybe the demons should be either similar (in which case we might as well do a sprite replacement mod making the barons, imps and cybers a lot more androgynous) or, conversely, make them a ridiculous mishmash of poorly understood secondary sexual characteristics - in which case it'd be like your typical AAA-game "female monster" fare, but with more dicks and beards and chest hair.

Or maybe give them boobs and call it a day.

Doom X had a succubus enemy that fit fairly well.

Doom 2's manual. Female pronouns and everything.
