Hell Spawn are a greenish variant of Quake's Spawn or Tarbaby, found in the game's second expansion Dissolution of Eternity.
Strategies
- The main difference between a Hell Spawn and its blueish cousin is the ability to duplicate itself infinitely. Because of this, it should be killed as soon as possible.
- Duplicates (green spawns without orange "eyes") are incapable of further replication and could be dealt with later.
- Hell Spawn activates only second or so after becoming aware of player. If you have noticed it as well this pause allows you to easy kill the monster with a rocket/grenade launcher without giving it the opportunity to make any copies.
- If you see a Hell Spawn in a room full of Enemies, attack it first, preferably from a distance before it starts jumping at you. It has the same health as a regular Spawn, so it should go down quickly. If it duplicates, though, you can kill the duplicate, which shouldn't be too hard because there is a brief moment before it starts attacking, or run out of the room and try to rain grenades on them from a safe place. Basically, fighting a Hell Spawn boils down to speed and safety.
