Powers and Abilities
They float in the air. Though they won’t attack anything directly, they will spit up Lost Souls to do their fighting for them and screen them from fire. Pain Elementals have two horns, but apparently never use them offensively.
History
For the general background, see the Doom marine writeup. The Pain Elementals are repositories of the human souls stolen from people to make zombies.
Every dead human thus becomes two fighters in Hell’s armies, their bodies fighting as zombies while their spirits fight as Lost Souls.
Description
Pain Elementals can reach more than 6’ in height and 8’ in diameter. They would weigh a lot more if they weren’t hollow. Trapped Lost Souls can be seen flitting about in the Pain Elementals’ mouths between the gaps in their teeth.
Personality
Looks rude. Acts as troop transport for Lost Souls. Cries like a baby when hit.
