>I never readed the novels. How do they usually behave? Are they able to have a good understandment of their surroundings, or just act like savage animals that just wants to eat, fuck and sleep?
In the novels? They're a bit different. They're called "Fire Eaters", and the only thing they do, is get incredibly fucking hot, hot enough to set the room you're in on fire by just being in it, then they heat up, more, apparently to the point that they melt bullets before they reach it (something I don't think is quite physically possible).
The demons/collaborators knew they were hiding in a basement, opened the hatch, and kicked the arch-vile, tumbling down the stairs, as if it's some dumb creature they brought along for this exact purpose (and I guess it is).
The way they fought it was to panic, look for an exit, and then hose the thing down with a fire extinguisher, it really didn't like this and apparently incapacitated it.
They ran through the exit, through a sewer.
They shut a door behind them, as the demons were following them, and tricked the Arch-Vile into setting off a gas-leak, killing the lot of them (the monsters that is).
It's an interesting monster, but I wouldn't quite find it to be a suitable interpretation of the Arch-Vile as a concept. That's the novels to you though, interesting ideas and shit, but a lot of them aren't exactly fit for Doom or properly interpreted.
