The Pinkies seem to have a thick layer of armour on them, covering their backs, legs, arms, and foreheads. It has similar beady, glowing eyes and a gaping maw filled with sharp fangs. Like in the original Doom games, the Pinky is a large, pink, bulky, muscular boar-like beast and huge tusks that are used to bite and shred foes as well as during Glory Kills. Unlike the Doom 3 Pinky, this version is more similar to the original Doom version. Gnawed carcasses of Pinkies have been extracted from portals, suggesting they are considered a delicacy in Hell.
The thinner skin on their flanks does not offer as much protection and should be considered a point of weakness. They have limited visual perception and rely primarily on pheromone detection to locate enemies. At close range, the Pinky has a significant bite which it will use to fend off attackers. Their inability to stop quickly or turn makes them vulnerable to charging over ledges or into hard surfaces, stunning them. They accelerate quickly but have limited control while charging. Pinkies will charge once their prey is detected, using a cortical bone plate that covers their face as a battering ram. Their aggressive nature against the living is well documented. They were colloquially named Pinkies, due to their unusual skin pigmentation, when first discovered by the Lazarus Project's Tethering Operation (MTC 2146/351). These demonic animals are unnamed by those in Hell.
