Summary

The Pain Elemental is a mid-level enemy in DOOM, and is identical to the Cacodemon in almost every way. The key difference lies in their projectiles; in place of the Cacodemon's ball lightning, the Pain Elementals propel Lost Souls at their adversaries, quickly filling the battlefield with allies to do the fighting for them. They do not attack their enemies directly, and it is possible that they lack the ability (or the fighting skill) to do so.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Summon (DOOM II): The Pain Elemental opens its mouth and releases a Lost Soul, causing it to fly in the direction of their foe. Once summoned, these Lost Souls fight for the Pain Elemental, attacking the enemy as they would under normal circumstances.
• Summon (DOOM 64): Due to its dual set of mouths, the Pain Elemental of DOOM 64 is capable of spawning two Lost Souls at one time. In addition, Lost Souls generated by this incarnation of the Pain Elemental are far more aggressive and violent towards their foes, battering them with repeated lunges and headbutts.
• Death Summon: Upon death, both incarnations of the Pain Elemental collapse in on themselves and explode, releasing three Lost Souls with the blast.
