Nice concept, but the monster has some issues. When trying to do the charge attack, it often gets stuck on the spot. Not sure whats the cause, it seems to happen only when the monster is on ground level, when it's up in the air the charge attack works.

Speaking of which, I'd like to suggest some way of stopping the charge, for example a simple A_Stop before the jump back to the See state should do the trick. Otherwise the monster will float away until it hits an obstacle, which can be very annoying in big open maps. I hate lost souls (and cacos too) mostly for that reason.

The projectile attack is a bit too spammy imo, I think it would be better if the monster uses it less often, and uses the charge attack at a larger distance.

May I request to change its name to Wrath Demon as it was originally? It's not much of an elemental in my opinion.

Done, changed the first post to put the new link too

Instead of having a very short charging attack, give it a range check so it stops if it gets too far from its target: Also you should increase the distance check in A_JumpifCloser to 384.

Code:

Charger:         WRTH B 10 BRIGHT A_FaceTarget         WRTH C 4 BRIGHT A_SkullAttack         WRTH D 5 BRIGHT A_CheckRange(512,"Brake",false)         Goto Charger+2     Brake:         WRTH D 5 BRIGHT A_ChangeVelocity(0,0,0,CVF_REPLACE)         Goto See

Also you should increase the distance check in A_JumpifCloser to 384.
