General Doom enemy question.

Just a general question for anybody who already knows any lure on Doom...  I've googled and can't really find any lure for the very old 1993 Doom game.  For the hanging enemies, I am guessing those are your allies since they are all in the Green Armor Daisy wears stock.  Are they just waiting to be gathered up, executed, starve to death, or be converted into a Demon?  Feels weird not being able to rescue them, with some older games when you would come across captured allies you could rescue them for points.

Also the green hair enemy pistol dog, she's tied up to a pole in parts of the game and you can see it in the test map as well.  What is the story behind that, you can't kill her in game she's just like the hanging people.  Seems weird after mowing down hundreds of pistol puppies without a second though, to see one tied up visible scared and struggling.  How dare the game mechanics toy with my emotions :-P

Gotta say I love the Cake Mod of this old game, I know it's been said but the sprite work is beautifully done.  So much character and expressions done with very small pixil art is dang impressive.

"The story so far" can be found here.

It isn't much, but it is something.

I will explain the hanging people and the dog stuck to the pole.

In the original game, all the hanging people were corpses or at least very close to dying. The Modder changed them to be alive because this mod isn't about death and ruin like the original DOOM. (I assume that is why.) I mean, none of the enemies "die" when you defeat them, and the code for the bodies on the ground (the ones that look like Daisy) refers to them as sleeping. A corpse wouldn't go with the vibe.

I'm sorry, but the HypnoDog tied up also used to be a zombified marine that was either dead or eerily spasming on the pole. And in both cases, they are impaled by the pole. 

( I made this post 3 days ago but the original seems to have gotten stuck in limbo. Lol. )

Thank you for the response, much appreciated it.  It's kind of what I was thinking it would be.  It really is a perfect Mod for the Furry Community, I hope it becomes HUGE.

And hearing the enemies are 'Sleeping' is a nice touch for this Mod.  Thinking about it the only blood in the game is from the buckets you blow up that splatters when shot.  Guess that's why the pistol and chaingun ammo is battery and not bullets.  Shotgun must be rubber shot lol.
