KMC Forums - The Spider Mastermind

What's bigger and badder than the Arachnotron?

His momma.

Yes, dear friends, the Spider Mastermind is one nasty bit*h...and she is back in heat.

Quoting the Doom II manual: You guess the Arachnotrons had to come from somewhere. Hi, mom. She doesn't have a plasma gun, so thank heaven for small favors. Instead, she has a super chaingun. Crap.

Spidey here is also the mofo who orchestrated the attack on Phobos and Deimos, as well as the invasion of Earth.

As mentioned, her primary weapon is a super-chaingun. That has the sound of the shotgun but with a spread similar to the player's chaingun; in fact, it is essentially an automatic version of the Sergeant's shotgun, firing three pellets per shot at a rate of 425 shots per minute, her chaingun is also much bigger than the player's chaingun.

When a Spider Mastermind begins firing, she will not stop until her target moves out of her view or dies; or if she is stunned (causing her to move) or killed. Similar behavior can be observed with the Chaingunner and Arachnotron.

In an interesting sidenote, you can get the Spider Mastermind and the Cyberdemon to fight each other in Doom II's Gotcha! level via monster infighting. Naturally, the Cyberdemon wins.

Either way, the Spider Mastermind deserves our respect, both for being such a formidable foe and for orchestrating an invasion of Earth on such a grandiose scale.
