Thrivia:
If someone will ask about "Why are the sprites named like MARAA8A2?" it's because Blood sprites are rotated in opposite direction to the Doom ones.

That's awesome AF! I could rework the decorate to make them multi purpose. Machine guns etc etc

Pretty much. I can script out different attack types. Bullets and plasma. Still working on behaviours and grenades though.

Never the less, I'm happy to see these dudes make it here. They were always fun to blow up.

There's an error, it calls for a non existent "dynamit" actor.
Other than that, this is an alright monster, nothing else to say.

My bad. Just add "e" at the end of "Dynamit" since it is the polish term for "Dynamite" (this NPC was going to be in my modification in my native language, but the map files got corrupted)

Gave it another try, and there are a couple of issues with this
-The dynamite stick is too big, it should be scaled down to 0.5, then re-scaled back to 0.8 on its death animation.
-The fire sound it plays on its spawn state should be played in the first frame with the NoDelay keyword, and instead of using A_PlaySound, use A_StartSound since it's more flexible. This example plays the sound on slot 7, and it has the CHANF_LOOPING flag so it loops correctly without overlapping:

Code:

    Spawn:
        DYNA A 3 Bright NoDelay A_StartSound("BURN",7,CHANF_LOOPING)
        DYNA BCDEFGH 3 Bright
        Loop

and don't forget to add A_StopSound on its death state so it doesn't play after exploding:

Code:

    Death:
        TNT1 A 0 A_Setscale(0.8)
        TNT1 A 0 A_StopSound(7)
        DYEX A 2 Bright A_Explode
        DYEX BCDEFGHIJKLM 2 Bright
        Stop

7 is the slot number the sound it's playing, it can be any other number except 0 or -1
-Speaking of the sound, the BURN sound you chose is not meant to loop, maybe you should change that sound effect.
-Sound files should be ogg instead of mp3.
-The damage of the dynamite stick should be reduced to half, since A_Explode adds to the damage.
-The cultist's spawn animation should be just 1 frame, instead of the animated ones the Doom monsters have, like this:

Code:

    Spawn:
        MARA P 2 A_Look
        Loop

-The dynamite stick has DamageType Grenade, which isn't a real damage type and does nothing, so it should go.
-It lacks GLDEFS.
-This is optional, but Cultists from Blood also have an XDeath animation, maybe you should add it.

Except GLDEFS (more specifically - brightmap graphics) I did anything mentioned above

For the fuse sound, I think this would fit better:

If you don't have GLDEFS, you can use these:

Using a damage type like "Grenade" is definitely valid, it's not a damage type from any of the original Doom engine games, but it will definitely register as a damage type in ZDoom, and allow monsters to go into damage specific Pain.Grenade, Death.Grenade and XDeath.Grenade, be affected by damage factors etc, that is literally the point of custom damage types. The only issue I see with that damage type is that maybe an even more generic damage type like "Explosive" or "Explosion" would work better for wider mod compatibility.
