After playing Diablo for so many years, I don't know if you have found that the monsters that appear in the game, except for the demons that crawled out of hell, and some animal-like monsters, most of the other monsters are humanized?
Most of the monsters that appear in Diablo 1 are from Hell, and some of them are resurrected from the corpses of human beings on the surface. After Diablo was destroyed, all the monsters disappeared and there was a brief peace.
A few years after the end of Diablo 1, archers are corrupted by the evil qi that remains of that year into blood and become the minions of the army of hell. The zombies and zombies that appear in the first act of Diablo 2 are summoned by the Blood Crow. In the Land of Bones, the Blood Crow can endlessly summon the dead and make them unable to rest in peace.
The fallen Logue who appears in the first act is all members of the "Blind Sisterhood", who were once brave and good at war, but in the end they could not escape the clutches of Andalil and became the spokesmen of evil.
The beasts (animals) that appear in the second act of Diablo 2 are more insects that inhabit the desert and distant oasis caves. There are also a large number of ancient tombs in the desert, in addition to the pit vipers that hover in them, there are also a large number of awakened dead, becoming zombies, zombies and mummies, many of which are highly poisonous.
And the mummy has an absolute leadership position in the tomb.
mummy:
These mummies were among the greatest warriors and mages (most of them were members of Hladim!). Therefore, they are eligible to be buried in ancient tombs, and each one has a natural leadership ability. When Mephisto came to the land of Rukoin, he bound the souls of the servants of hell to these dead, making these warriors and mages, who had been mummified for years, the living dead.
After the mummies are resurrected, they lead other zombies in search of living bodies in the tombs. Their breathing was full of toxins that had taken the lives of a large number of brave people.
Mummies have the ability to summon infinitely, and can resurrect zombies that have already been killed. Therefore, in every battle, we always feel that the enemy cannot be killed. And these mummies are hidden in the corners, and they are really not easy to find. As long as they don't die, the battlefield can't be cleared.
The original concept art of the mummy, from the Dark Web:
In addition, there is a more engaged concept map:
The strips of cloth on his body all turned into snakes, as if it were its veins, supporting the body.
The mummy also has several elite monsters in the game, and for veteran players, it is only necessary to look at the color to know the source.
The cursed Ahm, a relatively special being, was summoned by Barr in act V.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" > Rodament</h1>
Once a member of the great Hladim. After his death, in accordance with the Hladim tradition, he was mummified and buried in the Aranok Desert. But centuries later, the great Hladim warrior woke up, and for some reason left his grave and came to Rukoin to build his lair.
Rodament led the resurrected dead to attack the town at night, including the husband and son of the tavern owner Atma.
Thanks to the efforts of the inhabitants of Rukoin, Rodament was successfully sealed off in the sewers. However, he still took the bodies of his victims and cut off their limbs. Therefore, in the sewers of the city, you can see the heads, limbs, and peeled wreckage at any time, which is unbearable.
Jahein's side arranged several assassination attempts, but all of them ended in failure. They didn't want to lose anyone, so they had to trap the monster in the sewers for the time being. Drognan had speculated that Rodament had collected human corpses for the purpose of resurrection
Finally, at Atma's request, our protagonist and his party venture into the sewers and kill Radamente.
Once the Hladim scroll is dropped, it is certain that Rodament is the former Hladim.
Weapon Forger: Hephaesto
In the Diablo series, there has always been the shadow of a butcher. After all, the impression (shadow) that this guy left on the players was too deep. In Diablo 2, he works as a blacksmith in the Cathedral Barracks in act I, only to reappear in act IV with a different identity: Hephaesto the Forge of Weapons.
Seeing his shape, it is estimated that everyone will think that he is originally a demon!
Not really
Hephaesto was originally a weapons blacksmith of the angel Inaris. In the Battle of Original Sin, it was with the weapon he built that he broke through Mephisto's temple, and was later captured by Mephisto and corrupted into the blacksmith we see today.
After coming to Hell, he becomes Barr's minions, a master weapon master of the Dark Forces, working hard in the Furnace of Hell, creating a lot of incredible things for the demons.
Hephaesto created a divine soldier for Mephisto, the "Hate Splinter", which greatly enhanced Mephisto's combat effectiveness
It was also his ability that his status was significantly improved, and even the little lords began to be jealous. But no demon dared to fight it.
Many artifacts were born in the Hell Furnace, and the "Hate Splinter" was just one of them. The strongest weapon is the Shadow Tooth
At that time, Heaven foresaw the existence of this magic weapon, and in order to prevent the arrival of the magic weapon, in spite of Tyrell's advice, he led his men to the Hell Furnace with the holy sword "Blue Fury" in his hand, but unfortunately this plan failed, and YiZuer was captured. "Tooth of Shadow" was born smoothly.
Hephaesto is a very important main quest monster in the game, and after defeating it, you can get the Hammer of the Hell, which is the only weapon that can break the Mephisto Soul Stone. (Knocking on stones should be the most exciting thing for all players!) ）
Heroes crush the Soul Stone:
Years later, Dika Kane chronicled Hephaesto in hell, stating that such demons, once resurrected, would be a great threat to both Sanctuary and Heaven. It is also recorded in the ancient Vizgeri literature that this demon is likely to be reborn in hell after death.
