Okay, I think it's been long enough for any corrections and suggestions to occur since I left for Oahu for a month. Yes, that also means that I survived a "ballistic missile attack", but enough of that. While I was away, Malancthon brought to my attention the Vagary due to the fact that it was just not one-off boss character in Doom 3 but rather a reoccurring enemy that could be considered part of the daemonic hord. Frankly, it's been a while since I last played the game so a few details might have escaped me. So revisiting the Doom Franchise, we have the Vagary.
Vagary
One of the more unique daemons of hell that have taken corporeal form, the Vagary is a daemonic arachnid-like creature with a humanoid torso in a twisted, female caricature. The daemon’s most impressive aspect, however, is its telekinetic ability to toss small objects at high speeds at prey to either stun them for a close up kill or outright slaughter. However, it requires largely ranged attacks due to the fact that it is rather weak compared to other similar daemonic beings and rarely does it enter into a battle at a disadvantage. Only through subterfuge and surprise will allow any potential prey to overcome a Vagary’s trap.
