I find it more likely that the Tainted came from acid spitters. I mean they both look similar and one shoots a ball of poison and one shoots a ball of lightning.
There is more of a similarity between the tainted and acid spitters than between the tainted (dog that shoots lightning balls) and the lightning demons (giant, upright walking, badass demons that throw lightning).
That's actually kind of cool, but the ability to turn invisible is no different from the Gloams that could also. But still, it would be kind of cool to see them.
Watch this from 3:30, listen to the little story, then skip to 7:00. Check out how they die and tell me the Gloams are even half as cool as these guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhZnxPWqiYE
Pretty damn cool. At the beginning of that I was watching the Stone Clan, and they are much like the Moon, Blood Clan, but faster.

Well, horned demons with lightning affinity, quote similar imo to not conclude this. Many monsters received a lot of make up in the sequels. And the majority of the Diablo 1 monsters showed up in Diablo 2...

Or, they're simply a new monster.
Look at a slayer, guardian of vortex lord from D1, and then a Balrog, Pit Lord or Venom Lord in D2. The resemblance is undeniable: they are without a doubt the same monster.
Now look at the fallen, Carver, Devilkin and Dark one and compare them to the same in D2. They're not as similar, but clearly they are the same since tehir names are identical.
This does not hold true for the Tainted and the lightning beasts in D1. Not a single name is the same, and their physiology is entirely different. They don't even shoot the same kind of lightning; in fact, the only uniting feature they have is that they shoot some kind of lightning.
As per the acid spitters, the Tainted were perhaps inspired by them, but they are clearly not the same monster either. The Leaper is identical in appearance to the acid spitter and is probably more closely linked to them.
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.
I really hope those Hell KNights from D1 return to D3. If they dont I will be vary dissapointed. :'(

The one monster I really don't want to see is the Undead Stygion Doll. I hate those things. I'm also wondering if they will bring anything back from A5.

Oof! This may be the worst phrase I've ever seen on the internet. Dog That Shoots Lightning Balls. Still though, you are just wrong. The Tainted don't come from any of those things. It's just it's own crappy original monster.
I loved the Frenzying Death Lords from ActV, as well as the Putrid Defilers (that cursed their own teammates so they'd create a new monster when they died). If they can bring them back in a new, dark (yet fashionable) way - I would be happy.
And take note kids: The Burning Souls/Gloams were amazing monsters. They were totally cool and everything. Just annoying as living hell.
