Types of Enemies

Superior/Champion

• Champions

Act I

The forest and plains act; Act I contains the weakest of all the enemies. It isn't so much themed as really diverse in what creatures reside in it. Demons, skeletons, and beasts are all pretty equal in terms of population, however each is more common in various areas (this is common to both Diablo and Diablo II).

Zombies

Zombies >> Hungry Dead

Undead

Zombies are the second weakest enemy in the game, they are slow, they have a much higher maximum health than quill rats, and have a strong (again slow) melee attack. Unique zombies can sometimes be a hassle depending on their special traits, i.e. cold enchanted and extra strong can cause them to be over powered.

Act II

While Act I may be an environment that is very grassy, Act II is much more arid and desert like. The creatures found here range from sandy beasts to mummified undead and finally to anthropomorphic snakes and cats.

Cliff Lurkers

These are the basic type of this enemy. They look like a skinny frog with a rough, almost rock like hide. Cliff Lurkers and their successors are very quick and are characterized by their leap ability, which they use randomly and only sometimes for attack. Their attack is much lower than other enemies, but they have a high amount of health.

There are ones with whips, ones with javalins, and ones that toss poison gas containers.
