A less strong variant of the Revenant that fires Cacodemon fireballs. It can be fought easily but still take caution for its ferocity.

I hate when I accidentally skip a 'BrightMap Sprite FINDJ1'
Updated

file is starting now, but it still has some minor gldefs errors

Got not much to say about the monster itself, as it's just a recolored revenant, not very interesting tbh. The color looks odd too, at least the "pants" part that I think resembles dried blood or flesh in the original, here it's just a pink mess that doesn't look good. The rest looks fine, the blue details on the upper part look nice.

edit: just noticed a few stray pink pixels in some frames, those really stand out and don't look good at all. I'd remove those and then either get rid of the pink color altogether, or use the other pinkish colors and some dark red for shading around the pink parts.

Updated.avi

While it is an interesting recolor, it's just a revenant reskin.

I could try to make it interesting like the Ghoul in the site, maybe use an electric tracer and ice melee paralization?

EDIT: Decided to go with the Stunner effect projectile. In other words, updated.

It's not starting, and it throws me these errors: Again, test your submissions properly before posting them.

Tried MANY Brightmaps folder methods without success, until finding out that just putting them in 'Brightman/auto' and removing them from GLDefs work.
Updated.

I really like the idea of a revenant that stops its target temporarily so it has a chance to get into its melee range.
I think it could use some improvements, so I made an edited version with the following changes

• It can now shoot 1 projectile at a time. It will not fire another until it impacts a wall/solid object, and if it hits its target, it will not fire again until the stun effect runs out. If it switches target after hitting the previous target, it will fire another rocket at the new target.
• The monster now moves and punches slightly faster than the regular Revenant. The projectile is also faster and it always homes in instead of just sometimes.
• The stun effect has been simplified, now it will always last 5 seconds instead of calculating health and pain chance.
• Gave the projectile a particle trail. I think it looks nice.

Let me know if you agree or disagree with any of the changes:
