Cacodemon (Video Game Monster)

This one is an old request from a time where I didn’t write down who made requests, lol. I think I was asked to write about one of the monsters from Doom and I’ve decided to do so. I’ve chosen the Cacodemon!


The Cacodemon is an enemy in the video game Doom. It is a monster that can’t walk because it hasn’t got any legs but why bother with that when you can fly. It is round and red and has several horns attached to it. It also only has 1 eye and the Cacodemon actually reminds me a little of the beholders of Dungeons & Dragons. But that may not be a coincidence because the Cacodemon’s appearance was really taken from a D&D manual cover.


Most people remember the Cacodemon as that sprite blob in the 1993 game, but it kind of changed its appearance from game to game. I was aware of the 2004 computer game but I actually didn’t know there was a doom for the Nintendo 64!

  11. I loved fighting Cacodemons in the older Doom games. I just loved watching them flinch and crumple on the floor as a bloody mess.

    >doom for the Nintendo 64

    Unfortunately, I hated this game.
