shows it a bit "impy". Also cacodemon was color-coded with yellow and easily distinguishable among other monsters, now it lost it's unique appearance. Also it looks a bit like

looks more powerful: easily-distinguishable strong wings, torso of a power-lifter, all this details inflicts tremble upon player when you meet it in Ice Cave or see 4-5 fiends coming for you near the Antaeus hut. The new
