Powers and Abilities
It takes three rockets to drop one of these things for good.
The Mancubi have a delightful habit of greeting their enemies by hosing them down with machinegun bursts of fireballs.
History
For the general background, see the Doom marine writeup.
The Mancubi are the light artillery of the demon castes.
Description
Coat a brick wall with blubbery human flesh, add beefy arms and a pair of short thick legs like an elephant’s. Now slap a flattened dome of a head on top, then slip gigantic flamethrower nozzles over the forearms and connect them to a fuel tank on the back with feeder tubes.
Congratulations and God help you, you now have a Mancubus.
Personality
Waddle forward spraying fire everywhere. When hit by return fire, howl like a giant mutant crybaby.
Quotes
