Top 10 Monsters You'd Hate To See in Diablo III

The Bad, the Worse, and the Completely Stupid of the Diablo world. Diablo III blogger Project XII has written on his blog at Hellforge about the top 10 monsters you don't want to see in Diablo III in his new article entitled "Top Ten Monster Farewells".

He writes:

From the surprisingly large amount of unwanted creatures, I’ve managed to wheedle things down to a Top Ten list. Competition was tight; after all, it’s hard to pick the bad ones from the plain irrelevant… no one’s going to be interested in a three paragraph explanation about why the mosquito’s of Kruast were crap. Most of you will probably struggle to remember anything about Act 3 (it’s a big square place with a tower, right?).

So grab your shotguns and prepare to give Diablo’s Top Ten equivalents of Macaulay Culkin a proper farewell. I’m sure they can find work elsewhere… maybe in something for Runic Games?
And remember, if you don’t agree with me, you probably are Macaulay Culkin. Dude, wtf was “Party Monster”? You deserve to be unemployed.

Not very interesting.
Shouldnt Glooms (in hell act 5) be top of that list?...
I think so...

Luckily, we've already seen wraiths. They're my favorite enemy.

i disagree with wraiths i thing they can be really cool in 3d!
Something like them already exists seeing from the gameplay trailer.

Anyway, I actually liked Sand Raiders. They were one of those monsters with 'zazz'.

All good in that blog (or almost all good, some faults) until this list

Dishonourable Mention: The Monsters No One Remembers

Frog Demon: They popped out from time to time to spit goo at you. Then died.
Gloom Bats: They zapped you with lightning from their wings. Uh huh.
Death Maulers: Concept: a creature that thrust its fingers under the ground and up beneath your feet. Reality: Meh.
Scarab Demon: Beetleburst. Great for a giggle; the rest of his buddies a pain in the carapace.
Claw Vipers: So cool in Diablo 1. So average in Diablo 2.
Sand Raiders: Big four-armed beanpole creatures. Kinda cool. Make it into Diablo 3? Probably not.
Baboon Demon: Could be mistaken for Tainted if you don’t look closely. These guys do have the melee attacks. Just not the hit points to back them up.
Giant Mosquito: Apparently sucked out your stamina. Ohhh scary.
Vulture Demon: Birds that attack from the ground. Ok then.

w t f?!
Death maulers where the pwn, so was scarab's, and so was claw vipers, I mean claw vipers in hell act2 where the shit, woha did they damage alot or wut? vulture demon's also dealed some nice dmg I remember

what the hell is "baboon demon" anyways xD same goes for Sand raiders
The baboon demon was that green tainted looking thing in act 3 and the sand raider was a four armed scimitar wielding skinny guy in act 2.

I liked scarab demons and claw vipers too, also I liked the grotesque blood hawk nests :D.

Thanks for the post Sol. I rather enjoyed the humor of the blog.

I like the way he put the claw vipers in the 'dishonorable mention' slot. Not the ones from D1, but the ones from D2. The claw vipers in D1 were my favorite monsters. They were exquisite in appearance when you compared them to the rest of the monsters in the game. I really liked the way they curled up like popcorn shrimp when they died. I'd like to see them back in D3, but more like the model from D1 rather than D2. They were ugly in D2!

i got to agree w/everyone, this article is way off. this is how it should look.
#1 Oblivion Knights
-have you ever played single player hardcore with a chargedin? if so, you probably dreaded the chaos sanctuary because of these bastards.
#2 Glooms
- they just do way too much damage, and... you can't even see them when they move.
#3 stygan dolls (not sure how thats spelled.)
- again, they do too much damage, and they are way too fast.
#4 vultures.
-they are really lame, and only attack you after they land. If they come back, at least let us hit them with arrows, spells, and leap attack while they are flying, right now they are completely invulnurable when in flight.
#5 salamanders
-their ranged psn dmg is bugged to do a rediculous amount of damage.

If you do, make sure they don't suck.

My most hated monster in the game has to be either council members or stygian dolls. Both of those guys i cant stand and hate approaching them.

What's some of yours?

And what monsters would you like to see again in diablo 3

I just ran through durance of hate with my assassin in Nightmare and it reminded me how messed up and stupid bone fetishes(or stygian dolls I can't remember the name) are. I literally just ran past them to avoid the sudden death affect of actually fighting them. That to me was a horrible design decision. But thankfullly they already said they won't be insta-killing players to increase difficulty so I think we will be in the clear.

lol @ giant mosquito. Honestly, quite pathetic.

I loved fetishes though, who could hate them. They were pretty much "The Enemy" of A3.

Act III fetishes and the leapers too. Very annoying to defeat.

But... my serious hate of something I don't want returning is the multiple immunes of Hell. More than once when soloing I have been hassled by monsters that were unable to be beaten as they were physically immune (stone skin) as well as, say, fire and lightning immune.

Save & Exit, reload character etc in order to hope for a different random roll is not fun.

Man I'd have to say those mother f****** stygian Dolls from act 5 Baal Throne Room in Hell Dificulty. It's just rediculous to be able to be one-two shotted by an exploding monster after it has died. But even more rediculous is the fact that those little bastards could really hit hard when in numbers so there wasn't that option of not killing them, and if you decided to run they would most definately outrun you or you would lose sight of them which can be even more dangerous. I've even seen those buggers catch up to a teleing sorc on short distances, and just when she thought it was safe to launch that cold orb, BAM!...she was gone!

If you beat em you die, {and with the ammount of HP they had, you could fart in the wrong direction and blow one up} P
If you don't beat em you still die eventually...
soooo, where exactly is the fun suppose to be?
