Arachnotron
CONCEPT
These are mini Spiderdemons. They are much more common and they attack with plasma


Maybe cybernetics wasn't such a great idea after all. Look what the demons have done with it. It seems unfair somehow you're not the only guy in Hell with a plasma gun. -- Doom II manual

The Arachnotron monster is first introduced in Doom II in the seventh map, Dead Simple.
