Classes:SpiderMastermind

Note: Wait! Stop! You do not need to copy this actor's code into your project! Here's why: This actor is already defined in GZDoom, there's no reason to define it again. In fact, trying to define an actor with the same name will cause an error (because it already exists). If you want to make your own version of this actor, use inheritance. Definitions for existing actors are put on the wiki for reference purpose only.

Classes: SpiderMastermind

The Spider Mastermind (a.k.a. the Spiderdemon) is the endboss of Doom. Although with 3000 HPs, it doesn't have as much health as the Cyberdemon, but its chaingun is essentially a sped-up version of Sergeant's shotgun (firing 3 bullets per shot), making this enemy especially deadly.

Doom 2 manual jokingly describes Spider Mastermind as Arachnotron's "mom" and implies this demon is actually female.
