Its back spines and teeth have changed from their dirty yellow in the previous game to a more clean white color, and its body is a lighter shade of red. Its green eye now has a pupil, and it now bleeds blue blood, similar to its original appearance in the classic Doom games.

CODEX ENTRY

The Cacodemon will drift quietly towards the player, lobbing balls of purple plasma at him as it attempts to close distance. Occasionally, the Cacodemon will launch three plasma balls in quick succession, which can slow down the player greatly if they all hit. When in close range, the Cacodemon will bite the player, dealing an alarmingly high amount of damage. The Cacodemon is also surprisingly bulky, capable of taking hefty amounts of damage without a flinch.

Fortunately, it also has several easy-to-exploit weaknesses, the most obvious being its mouth. If the player uses a frag grenade from their Equipment Launcher or the Combat Shotgun Sticky Bomb mod, they can lob an explosive into the Cacodemons gaping maw. Doing so will result in an immediate stagger, allowing for an easy Glory Kill. Alternatively, using the Ballista can kill it easily at range, owing to the weapons increased damage output against flying foes. The Arbalest mod on the Ballista will one-shot a cacodemon.
