Powers and Abilities
Basic Doom Demons are paranormal beasts of great strength and durability, with fangs and horns.
Spectres
Spectres are the same, but are almost invisible, appearing as a shimmer and strong air distortion.
This isn’t Invisibility in DC Heroes RPG terms, and does not protect them much in combat (especially if the opposing fighter is used to them). But it often allows them not to be spotted until they are close.
Spectres can easily be heard, however, especially due to their tendency to roar fiercely. They really shouldn’t do that. I keep saying this, but does any Spectre listen noooo they’re just always “roar roar roar ah ah ah” and they keep getting killed SMH.

Personality
Don’t get too close or they’ll rip your fraggin’ head off.
They behave a bit like a rhino with a bad case of colic. You know how it is.
