Megasphere
From Doom Wiki
The megasphere is a grey-brown orb with a snarling demonic face (similar to that of the Mancubus). Picking it up maxes out both the player's health and armor to 200%. The armor given by a megasphere is equivalent to blue armor. The game manual states that "Mega Spheres combine the power of combat armor with the benefits of a Soul Sphere.". However, this is incorrect, as Soul Spheres only add 100 points to the player's current health, whereas Megaspheres increase the player's health to 200%, under any circumstances.
Megaspheres are included in the items percentage displayed at the end of each level.
