The Flaming Zombie, or "Bernie" for short, is new to the Doom series as it is the first Doom zombie literally set on fire. There are various reasons why this type is engulfed in flames, the most common being fire ejected from busted pipework along hallways. What is strange is that during gameplay, it is possible to kill a normal Zombie by luring it through a fiery broken pipe, yet these zombies seemed to have survived the blaze.
