Because Prime evils evolve on a regular basis perhaps?
You do know that evolution is a process that happens in species through generations? Not through single beings over time.
not like that maybe from experiences like being banished from his mortal form twice... maybe the 2 heads are the embodiments of his 2 past mortal bodies?
You know, that demon that we assume is Diablo might actually be Belial or Azmodan.
A while ago I suggested on these forums that Belial should have two (or more) heads, because he is the Lord of Lies. I said that each head should say something different, so you never know which head is lying and which isn't.
This demon seems to have three heads (or at least three mouths), so it might be Belial.
Then again, it could just be an upgraded version of Diablo, as is assumed.
Or, the three heads could be a combination of the Three Prime Evils, as someone else theorised a while ago.
But nah, I actually like the artwork for the demon. Somehow, this actually instilled fear into me, while his other versions haven't.
As it did to me too. I actually cringed when that image came up on the screen during the trailer.

Well if you would of bother'd to read Diablo's lore then you would understand its Diablo's sole purpose as the Lord of terror, to SCARE the living daylights out of people, you wouldnt exactly poop yourself if a Giant rabbit called Diablo the lord of terror came to you in your sleep would you? Exactly.
So he need's to look like an uber bad-ass, not a ball of fluff, we arn't playing happy tree friends.
Micah - i wasnt refering to any lore of LOTR as i dont care about it, i was simply using that "Balrog" as a reference to how diablo looks now. get two pictures of the balrog on that bridge and diablo in the trailer side by side, and you will see what i'm talking about, and just because something has serrated edges, doesnt make it a mouth, and from the way Diablo was positiond it looks like the "heads" as you are so persistant on percieving, are on Diablo's shoulders.

Interesting, hadn't thought about that yet. :confused:
yeah it does. I was thinking it was a merging of the 3 prime evils, or perhaps Diablo taking over Azmodan and Belial for their betrayal? Not like he's going to chill in Hell and just be cool with them right?
There are two mouths... people are just speculating that they might be additional heads. While it could possibly be gills of some sort... eh?

i like that idea, maybe either both is wat the picture is
yea theyre heads, i just watched it, it protrudes out of the body and in a..predator vs. alien, alien shaped head, but theyre both identical to one another, id imagine if it was the 3 prime evils combining that each head would have a different look to one another, while the thought of each of his mortal souls may make sense as each one was mere man
*****EDIT*****
someone said earlier about them evolving, well diablo did according to his host, maybe without a host, he can assume what he really is, being the lord of terror and all

Yeh that makes sense, he is now actually Diablo, not Diablo in someone elses body? I guess we'll have to find out
Hm.. Diablo was slain in body, and then the gem holding his soul was SMASHED... Something seems to lead me to believe that his soul is SMASHED, I.E. DESTROYED, but I can't put my finger on it...
the soulstones were only used to keep them locked to the mortal realm weakened and deprived of their power, with it destroyed, they are sent back to hell or black abyss without a way to enter the mortal realm, but worldstone is destroyed now which acted as a barrier between the realms so...
Have you no memory of the creation of diablo? diablo 1 for instance (he had a soul shard in his head) he died and the wanderer shuved it in his head to control the power and he ended up turning into diablo so i'm 100% sure diablo should have a soul shard in his head;)
HAVE YOU ALL ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THIS DEMON?!?!?
It is obviously Diablo. I can't believe this is still a discussion. Okay, let me spell it out for you all.
1. The game is called Diablo III, not Mephisto I, or Baal I, or Azmodon I, or Belieal I. DIABLO III. Hell, he is on the friggin logo!!
2. Why would they use a different demon to announce the game with the splash page. What did we all think when we first saw the eyes. DIABLO!!!1!!one!!!! ZOMG!!
3. True, there is no soulstone. But look at where the soulstone should be. THERE IS A CROSS SHAPED SCAR!
4. Diablo's element was mainly fire. This demon is surrounded by it.
5. Diablo was chock full of horns. This demon has plenty to go around.
6. Look at my sig. "the stench of TERROR drifts on a bitter wind"
7. The most important reason. If you saw this demon in real life, most people would be so TERRified, in that instant, they would have a heart attack and die.

technically id be terrified to see the undead walking around as is..also, since when was diablo's main element ever fire, he's a demon, can't, theoretically every single demon's main affinity be fire
diablo has 2 horns, so does mephisto
technically diablo II: lord of destruction the expansion had nothing to do with diablo, rather his brother, anything is possible, the lore left many different directions this game can take

Very true Yadigg.
I think it is weird that people don't think it could be anyone else, of course it COULD be another demon, anything from hell likely has its main element as fire... And the game could be called Diablo and not have him on the cover, Blizzard has tricked us before and is a very secretive and decieving company.
Ok...so I was watching the Artwork trailer on the Blizz site and this picture made me stop and pause...for some reason its not in the artwork section of the site...but to me it exactly resembles an early concept of this new multi-headed demon... To me it just screams Azmodan....
not like that maybe from experiences like being banished from his mortal form twice... maybe the 2 heads are the embodiments of his 2 past mortal bodies?

THE MOUTHS OPEN DURING THE TRAILER.
YOU GENIUS.
You are saying they aren't mouths?
They open along with the main heads mouth.
You are blind go watch it 10 more times.
