There was an ambiguous tweet that has left room for plenty of debate and discussion.
Official Blizzard Quote:
Diablo: One of our new creatures is a memorable D2 throwback - more to come at BlizzCon.
Just what does this mean? At first glance, it may just seem like a an obvious monster that was in Diablo II has returned to Diablo III much like the Fallen, although they have added many different types this time, or the Tomb Viper. What other iconic and familiar monsters could they want to throw back in? Perhaps the annoying little Demon Imps at Mt.Arreat are still hanging around the area or the Sabre Cat has made its way out of the desert and into a new location. The possibilities are numerous and it is safe to assume that many familiar enemies will be returning to Sanctuary for us to vanquish once again.
So, why post this comment? Upon closer and more literal inspection, the quote refers to a "new" creature. Perhaps this creature is not one we have fought before but was in Diablo II. Perhaps something similar to the fight with Griswold in Act I. However, the term "creature" is also used deferring from an NPC coming back to fight us. So just what creatures are in Diablo II that we have not gotten to fight against yet remains "memorable" from the game? Perhaps if we all play Diablo II again for the hundredth time, we can solve this mystery. You can also check out Doomscream'simpressive compiled list of possibilities here.

could be some of the older character classes if you think about it this way. new as monsters and yet not that new. we can exclude paladins of that, we had plenty of zealots, zakarumites etc in Act 3. amazons, i'm not sure if we get to visit the Skovos isles. barbarians... dont know.. Arreat is a crater now and he's still playable. Druid/Assassin seem more like it, since we have it confirmed that the necros we'll get as quest givers at some point.
wondering if they think of bringing back some of the Diablo 1 monsters aswell. Horned Demons would be nice.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.

What makes a monster "memorable"? My guess is it refers to the those monsters that when we see, we go "oh crap", and after being killed by it so many times, many people would then share their bitterness on b.net forums.
For me (and most likely you), the monsters that had their way with me more times than i liked were:
Gloam / Black Souls - new baal runs were created just to avoid these guys
Doom Knights - with iron maiden, a nightmare for melee
Undead Dolls - exploding little f**k messing up my mf meph runs >_<
Or chickens from act 1. I remember spending an hour with a friend trying to herd all the chicken to one corner of act 1. I don't remember if we succeeded or not.
Really it would be very blizzard like to take the rabbits or chickens and create a new secret level out of them.

Or it's the Gloam...
At the very least they seem to bring back some old members. Hi FingilfinGR :sorcerer:
good to be back was here for the announcement, i think i might be here for the beta + release too
We should have werehamsters instead of cows this time around. Mags, you need to pitch this idea to Blizzard.
