Rustmonger - Doom demon concept
A simple sketch for an original Doom demon I came up with known as the Rustmonger. Inspirations included Godzilla vs Kong's Mechagodzilla and Pacific Rim's Raiju.
Rustmongers - known to the UAC as Triceratoptrons - are anti-demonic war machines built by the ancient Martian race known as the Praeleanthor. They have a notably crocodilian/dinosaur-like appearance and stand 4 meters tall, around 12 meters from end to end.
Their primary feature is a composite drill apparatus over their head they use to drill through Mars' solid bedrock. This drilling mechanism can open into 3 jaw-like components to reveal the vulnerable sensor array beneath.
Besides their devastating claw and grinding teeth attacks, their primary weapon is a charged proton beam they fire from their mouths. They also possess shoulder-mounted cluster missile pods, and their tails can deliver wide swipes and piercing/drill strikes.
Their main defense is a powerful soul-based bodyshield that is almost impervious to all damage. This shield can only be broken by soul weaponry or powerful energy blasts such as from a BFG.
However, because the Rustmonger's body and not its shield is used to drill, the shield cannot block physical objects and is completely bypassed by melee attacks.
