Description It's been a while since I finished one of these. So here's a really nice one, cause I like ya a lot.

Retrieved from Deimos Defense System:
"Demoto Cacophonos is believed to be the oldest species of all exotic life discovered on the other side of the gates. With microscopic inspection showing no evidence of a cellular structure, it was deduced that the entire being was an individual predatory cell by itself.

The red buboles covering its "body-cage" and skull are filled with an extremely electrophilic blue acid. When exposed to ionized air, it begins growing another bubole, a protective thorn, or rarely an electron sac. When exposed to an electric current, spontaneous growth occurs following the circuit.

These cacodemons hover and scan the ground for prey like hawks or eagles. They consume their victims by engulfing the body with digestive acid that can carry nutrients along an electric current from the negative side of its insides to the positive. The highly conductive nature of their Aethon-derived body fluid has been applied to the creation of many Plasma power sources."

Kinda reminds me of one of the beholders from Dungeons and Dragons, except instead of putting its beam sources on stalks they are inside of its mouth. Looks like it could work as some kind of mind-controlling helmet creature, too. Either way, it's properly nightmare-inducing.

The beholder has always been a common comparison between DnD and Doom, but I think you'd be surprised to know the original cacodemon design was just the Astral Dreadnought's head lol

Id software was definitely fans

i like the redesign a lot, but i like the little write-ups you do too
reminds me a lot of old retro sci-fi that would try to explain how their ideas could logically work to some extent

Thanks man
Since I've decided on picking the novel back up, these little descriptions will (eventually) play more importance to spice up the plot than just for visual context
