One thing you can do with corpses that could be troublesome is to move them somewhere which isn't convenient for them if they get back up, like punting them down a chasm, or shoving them in under a narrow gap where they can't stand up to get resurrected.

Basically don't be afraid to sweep a corpse under the rug like that if you have a good opportunity for it, it can pay off.

Shards can be a real bitch, and they make Barons Of Hell the fucking worst thing ever, but the thing is also that a monster raised by a shard will typically be rather weak, and can easily be killed again.
That said, a baldie doesn't have to be strong to shoot you up.

They're a cool gameplay mechanic that really keeps you on your toes.

That is called the Frag Shard.

This is a green, demonic energy, which can revive dead monsters, healer imps can sometimes call them to try to raise dead monsters. Barons of Hell will release four shards into the atmosphere on death, and Evil Barrels may release them as well.
Using the BFG9000 to charge empty batteries can also let loose shards into the atmosphere (implying the BFG9000 operates on devil magic).

This is one of the most fiendish pieces of resistance you will face in Hideous Destructor, though they have limits, a monster raised by them usually do not have a lot of health left, coming back as injured. It can also take multiple shards to actually raise a monster as well, so a monster can raise for a split second before falling apart again, alarming you that shards are in the air around you.
Monsters can be delayed from raising if you gib them, or damage their bodies, such as with the chainsaw. You can also prevent a monster from coming back completely, no matter what, if you destroy the body completely by crushing them under a crusher door. Since you can move bodies around by punting them, this strategy should stay in your mind.

Told you that you'd learn to hate Imps and Barons.
