I believe the Three-Headed Demon is Diablo because it seems the portrait of this Diablo is based from the novel, Divine Comedy. In Dante's Inferno, Satan (Diablo) is frozen in the center of a lake in the 9th level of Hell who is eternally chewing/torturing on three corrupted humans. Brutus and Cassius, Betrayers of Julius Caesar, and Judas, Betrayer of Jesus. They were consumed by Satan and became the three heads from within him. So I can safely say that Blizzard chose the right portrait for Diablo.
So the two other heads are Belial and Azmodan? Sounds about right....Diablo went back to hell kicked some ass and stole some powers to come back uber! I mean they cant be Baal and Mephisto...the two heads look the same...and look insignificant compared to Diablo?
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.
I am pretty sure its Belial on the cover, reading the interview it sounded like they hadn't even put diablo in the game yet :x
1. The fact that they show this demon at the finale of the trailer is an indication that he is the major adversary in the game.
2. If the main adversary isn't Diablo... well then, I guess this game wouldn't be called Diablo 3, would it? Fact is, the game is still called Diablo, which means it's still about Diablo.
For you heartfelt people who hate the look of "Diablo"
I give you my thoughts on it.
It's clearly not the old Diablo.
my guess? Baal, Diablo and Mephisto join as one Super being to once again reign over our world.
It is up to you to Destroy "UBER" Diabaalphisto
Anyone else have thoughts on this matter?
I agree with the beast being a new Diaballphisto type evil. If not the monster is on an equal power to such a forging, perhaps a more primitive Diablo, one that has been reborn due to the destruction of the world stone.
I personally would like to belive this based on the openning sequence of the teaser trailler where there are three candles lit when they mention the past (end) and a solitary candle when the mention a new beginning. So in my mind this represents the former three prime evils having a new beginning as one bad mother f***er.
Diablo (like many other daemons) is in the Black Abyss.
The Black Abyss is basically from wench there kind are born and where all there kind returns when they are killed, basically why the armies of hell are infinite.
Once cast down into the Black Abyss one must be brought out from inside or break out from inside, having no physical form within the Black Abyss most lesser Beings would simple cease to exist, however a daemon powerful enough before being sent to the Black Abyss could keep ones conscious mind intact.
Once the daemon is able to acquire enough prime energies from within the Black Abyss they are able to re-manifest themselves into physical from again, basically being reborn into the universe.
However when these daemons with such power reemerge from the Black Abyss they aren't the same, since they no longer have physical form, when they do re-manifest themselves into the physical they are vastly different from wench they were before.
The feeding to re-manifest themselves on the prime energies changes them, cause they are in such a form where they are taking the prime energies into there very beings they could be vastly different when they re-take physical form.
This would explain the vast difference to species amongst the daemons and why again some daemons are vastly more powerful then other.
We know that the Black Abyss was used to lock Izael soul inside a daemon body, its entirely possible that my theory is correct and when a daemon goes back inside the Black Abyss they can re-manifest in completely different forms.
Its likely this is whats happened to Diablo (and many other daemons), we are looking at his new form, what has become of him after his reemergence from the Black Abyss, this isn't the Lord of Terror we once knew, no longer would he suffer his own weaknesses being capture by mortals and killed twice by them.
He's finished screwing around with humans, nows time for someone to get his revenge.
wow morons, and YOU know how Diablo looks and blizzard don't?
What stupidity... You are frickin unbelievable, who the hell draw diablo in the first place - Blizzard; so STFU and don't be bitching morons

Diablo 3 is graphically and artistically great, there needs to be variety in the game, instead of only plain and dark areas!
+Wouldn't it be better and more interesting if from a sunny beautiful day, mist starts covering the screen, rain starts falling, thunders and lightning striking and it starts to darken, instead of constant dark!?
you cant be 100% sure its Tyrael that falls from heaven, geez. He is an angel dammit, he got wings and fly with them.
This demon comes down with the meteor, or atleast have the highest posibility of being the being that comes down with it; as its all flamy.
as to the "hydra" Belia, Lord of Lies would be cool if it was him and i bet he and Azmodan will make an appearance in the game its just when.
for people stating its diablo, meph and Baal together, do the heads even look like the Prime evils? i think not.
Tyrael definitely fell. That was him in a flaming ball not a meteor, mark my words. If you look closely you can see his tendril wings spiraling in the meteor.
The meteor is most definatly an angel, we have screens of the angel emerging from the crater in the cathederal but is it Tyrael?!
The angel has winged armour not the spiked that Tyrael has and also a winged helm rather than the hood, plus his wings blaze yellow not blue.
Its going to be real interesting to see where Metzen decides to take the Diablo lore, especially with the movie in pre-production.
It could be a different angel I'll give you that. BUT the pictures of the angel with winged armor are in a whole different place it looks like. The church seemed wooden pretty much and the angel with winged armor was in a stone place.
My theory is that is the angel who booted Tyrael out of Heaven for breaking their code and destroying the world stone.
Okay seriously, you guys are just ignoring the obvious. How are those heads? This is a demon not a human, a demon does not require a head to have a mouth, ear, eye, whatever. It's his/her's damn shoulders.

Except it's not... Look at this picture again.
See the bottom right of the middle heads mouth? there is a opening and it shows the back of the right heads neck.
Further more does anyone think the left head looks like it has a hood on?

looks like the right head has one too, but i cant see it clearly it might be skin that's covering the face, you never know and good eyes on the right head's neck man

You can't really make out the right head too good, but the left definitely seems like it has a hood to me.

Ergo, the demon is Diablo. QED
Diablo 2 was about diablo.
Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction was about the Lord of Destruction, Baal.
Diablo 3 has no subtitle. Stands to reason.
This is demon anatomy, not human.
Back on track. I think it looks like Diablo merged with Bahamut (i forget which game but it was either a newer one or the movie)
