Doom Eternal is coming to Xbox Game Pass on October 1 and that got me thinking about Doom. I like Doom a lot. I’ve written about it many times before on Kotaku and it seems like it’s about time I sit down and rank all the demons who have appeared in Doom games throughout the years.
So here you go, the definitive list ranking all the Doom demons (and other enemies), from best to worst:
1. Cacodemon
2. Hell Knight
3. Spider Mastermind
4. Cyberdemon
5. Revenant
6. Imp
7. Baron of Hell
8. Pinky Demon
9. Arachnatron
10. Mancubus
