Classes:Arachnotron

Arachnotrons are spider-like enemies that first appear in Doom 2. Their choice of weapon is plasma, which deals the same damage as the player's plasma rifle, although the colors are different and they do not fire as fast.

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.
