ArchvileArch Viles are enemy demons found in the Doom series of computer games. Archviles are frail-looking, yellowish-skinned humanoid figures with a grotesque appearance, and stigmata. They also have no flesh around their stomachs, revealing some of their ribcages. They are new monsters that first appeared in Doom 2 and its later sequels. They take a deceptively high amount of damage(i.e. 700 HP), and their attack consists of a unique ability to immolate their enemies in flames by raising their arms up, summoning the fire on the targeted foe, regardless of range, and then hunching over and clamping his hands together, causing the fire to erupt and usually send the enemy flying into the air, doing up to 60 points in damage. This attack will always hit the enemy as long as there is a line of sight between the Arch Vile and the target, and can be avoided by hiding behind a corner. They are also among the fastest monsters in the game, and meeting two of them at once usually spells doom to most players. The Arch Vile also has one of the more powerful abilities in its power to resurrect other lower monsters. They can revive all monsters except Cyberdemons, Spider Masterminds, and other Arch Viles. This power makes them a priority to kill in battle so they don't keep reviving the monsters and forcing the player to waste precious ammo. They are not the most common foe, however they do appear in Doom 2, Final Doom and other Doom 2/Final DooM-based custom games.
