Voodoo Priest[]
Voodoo Priest is a demon found in Underworld and Stone Pit.
Voodoo Priests are well-built red skinned demons (their demon characteristic is marked by the unusual feet ending in two hooves) dressed up like natives, they wear colored feathers as arm bands and around the ankles, bracelet and necklace made of bones and a skirt. They have black dreadlocks ending in a ponytail and also wear white face paint. It seems that a majority of their face has been removed: their eyelids and eyes are entirely missing, instead there is a red light glowing in the eye socket, their entire upper skull seems to be split in half and being held together by some stitches, the lips and cheekbones are also missing, directly exposing its incredibly long sharp teeth and jaw bones. It is also worth noting their long skeletal fingers.
The Voodoo Priest carries a pick and a hunk of meat that acts as a voodoo doll. It is quite tough to kill and its only attack is stabbing the voodoo doll which deals huge damage. They can attack at very long distances, and when they are about to stab the doll, they will always succeed unless you stun them, or go out of sight. If you go close to them, they won't attempt to attack you, and instead flee until they are no longer in your melee range.
The normal Voodoo Priests appear exclusively in Underworld and are usually small and weak. They sometimes appear in groups and also have a variation that doesn't move at all. They always know where the player is hiding and will come after them.
Booklet Description[]
Voodoo Priests roam the underworld practicing their dark arts. These evil wizards can inflict pain upon their victims by merely jabbing needles into the voodoo dolls they carry.
Shaman[]
The Shamans are the tougher and more dangerous version of the normal Voodoo Priest that appear exclusively in Stone Pit, they are immune to freezing and Confusion's effect, are bigger, have almost 5 times the regular's health and also know where you are hiding, making them one of the most dangerous enemy in the series. They like to set up traps and ambush the player in big numbers, this will almost certainly kill an unsuspecting player.
Trivia[]
- Slaves, according to the booklet, were said to be controlled by the Voodoo Priests in doing their bidding, this was ultimately scrapped along with the slave enemy.
- If the player goes out of sight when they start the attack, there might be a glitch where they will continue the attack anyway when coming in sight, quickly followed by a second one.
- They will sometimes get stuck in their running animation while under the influence of Confusion.
- Despite not being featured in Painkiller: Overdose, they have one death animation that is unused.
- They will raise their head face up and then fall on their back.
