Official Blizzard Quote:
Diablo: One of our new creatures is a memorable D2 throwback - more to come at BlizzCon.
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.
*ScyberDragon creates a new Druid named Sherlock*
Maybe this is a fetish? For Witch-Doctor will summon a fetishes...
A corrupted Druid that summons all his pets when u engage him?
I always ended up squishing them..
wondering if they think of bringing back some of the Diablo 1 monsters aswell. Horned Demons would be nice.
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.
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.
