Classes:LostSoul

Note: Wait! Stop! Before you copy this actor's definition into your mod, remember the following things: You do not need to copy that actor, since it is already defined. In fact, it's not just useless, it's actually harmful as it can cause problems. If you want to modify it, or use a modified version, using inheritance is the way to go. The actor definitions here are put on the wiki for reference purpose only. Learn from them, don't copy them. There is only one exception: if what you want is changing Ammo capacity, you need to create a new type from Ammo.

Lost souls have nearly twice as much health as an imp, but they don't shoot fireballs. They fly around and then charge at you for a big bite. These can really be a pain if there are lots of them flying around. In Doom 2, they are spat out by pain elementals as a form of offense.
