The Hell knight's attacks are similar to those of the imp: melee attacks, but including biting, and energy balls with splash damage. It differs from the classic Hell knight in that it doesn't have horns or hooves and is not goat-like. They are covered with scars and demonic runes, and have a pentagram on their foreheads. Parts like the mouth, upper chest, hands and feet are red, possibly soaked with blood. In Hell, Hell knights show a different appearance than those on Mars. Assuming the marine is six feet tall, the Hell knight stands about ten feet tall. It is easily the largest non-boss enemy in the game. Its obscure eyes are very small and black, located on the sides of the head just above the mouth. Its ears resemble deformed human ears fused to the sides of its head, which makes them look almost like holes.
An in-game examination of its spine indicates it has a massive skeleton. The Hell knight in Doom 3 is huge, very muscular and heavy. This article is about the monster in Doom 3. For other games, see:
