 Most enemies leave behind corpses when they die, with the only exceptions among normal enemies being [[Lost soul]]s, [[Pain elemental]]s, and all the elite formers ([[Elite former human]], [[Elite former sergeant]], [[Elite former captain]], and [[Elite former commando]]). Additionally, [[Arch-vile]]s and [[Nightmare arch-vile]]s leave behind a generic "bloody corpse" tile that doesn't count as a corpse for the purposes of respawning or resurrection (it does count for the [[Blood skull]]s, [[Fire skull]]s, and [[Hatred skull]]s though). When it comes to the bosses, most don't leave a corpse when killed, but some do; [[Bruiser brother]]s, [[Shambler]]s, and [[Cyberdemon]]s. Bosses that leave behind a corpse can be resurrected just like any other enemy, so be extra sure to destroy their corpses ASAP if playing on [[Nightmare!]] difficulty, [[Angel of Darkness]], or are playing [[Angel of 100]] and so are fighting Arch-viles alongside them.

 ==Respawning==
-On the Nightmare! difficulty level and in [[Angel of Darkness]], corpses will randomly respawn into new enemies as time passes.

 Every 10.0s on a level, there is a chance for corpses to respawn. There are two checks for a corpse to respawn: a global check that must be passed if any corpses are to respawn, and then another spawn for each corpse. For the global check, the chance of passing starts at 20% when entering the level and grows by 1% for each subsequent check. The chance of passing the per-corpse checks starts at 10% and increases by 1% for every 100.0s spent on the level.
