First appearance- Doom 2 Classic (1994)

You think your life sucks? Imagine being a Pain Elemental, being forced to eat bones and allow some alien energy to seep into your bloodstream day in and day out, and then you have to conjure some possessed things and throw them at other people, in which both you and that guy gets hurt, not exactly the most ideal lifestyle, is it?

Pain Elementals are an enslaved race of floating beings that inhabited the planet Moxus, things were going smoothly for the race until Hell came along and took over their homeworld, but the Pain Elementals didn't go down without a fight however, as they rebelled against the Hierarchy and killed many demons in their wake, even more demons pre-takeover. The Hierarchy were absolutely furious, a rebellion like this hasn't happened in years, so just like they did with the Barons of Hell, they sent in a horde of Titans to Moxus, in which the Titans destroyed the planet more than it already was, the Pain Elementals got the hint, and they willingly faltered to the demons.

The Hierarchy wanted to punish the species for their transgressions against them, but at the same time, they saw potential within the race, seeing that they're naturally capable of conjuring magic, and powerful magic at that, so the Hierarchy came up with something brilliant, make the Elementals experience the worst pain imaginable, but at the same time, make them powerful forces to reckoned with. At one point the race had a name of their own, now they go by Pain Elemental, because of their current condition and abilities, Elementals have the ability to conjure Lost Souls and Phantoms from the pit of their gut and throw them, but this process is extremely painful to them, like their stomach is on fire, this pain is very much intentional, and this will be their eternal punishment.

The process on how the Pain Elementals get their abilities is quite a gruesome one, when they are only mere minutes old, a Dark Mage takes the infant Elemental to a ritual room, where then their fellow Mages will summon pockets of active Hell Energy and force it through the little baby's body, it will then obviously start crying due to the extreme pain, in which the Mages will beat it senselessly until it stops crying to get it used to its eternal suffering. Once the young Elemental fully grows in their teeth, they will be forced to eat bones and rotting flesh for the rest of their life, to give the Energy within them host bodies, to prevent digestion, they go under surgeries that involve removing their stomach acid.

The Hell Energy within them keep the Elemental from dying, perpetually in a state between of living and dying, not necessarily undead, but they might as well be, the Energy burns through their entire body, their stomachs are filled ungodly amounts of body parts and bones, in which they pierce its stomach. This eternal suffering has caused them to go insane, in battle they always go in the frontlines, because that gives them more of a chance to be killed, at this point they rather die than live another moment, there is no saving them, its too late for them.

Pain Elementals also have a mutant subspecies native to the Sloughlands, the Beholders. There's also the upper-class Elementals that live a life of luxury because they sold out their own race to Hell, the Rahovarts.
