The Crater Assault Troops were named in a piece of early concept art and are seen in the [[cinematic]] teaser, but have not yet been seen in the game. It's not known if they will appear as monsters to fight, or if they exist only as frightening visuals in the game's cinematic.
This name is likely a place holder, given for their purpose in the cinematic, and will not be their title in the game, if they do appear as regular monsters.
==Baal's ArmiesGame Appearance and Story==

The Crater Assault Troops appear There are two possible sources for these demons; they may be a flash back to comprise [[Baal]]'s armiesD2X, as or they marched on the Barbarian cities during the events may be new invaders of the Sanctuary in Diablo 2 ExpansionIII. These events are (apparentlyOr both.) seen in flashback in the Diablo 3 opening cinematic.
As seen During the events depicted in the Diablo 3 cinematicII: Lord of Destruction, [[Baal's armies are blackening ]] invaded the plains before a mighty Barbarian city on the slopes of lands and made his way through [[Mount ArreatMountain]]. When , up to the [[TyraelWorldstone]] destroys . The human heroes defeated him there, but as his presence had already corrupted the Worldstone (according to [[WorldstoneTyrael]] within ), the mountain, Archangel had to destroy it explodes, devastating Baal. The Worldstone's armies on the surface destruction blasted apart Arreat Mountain, reducing it to Arreat Crater and ending destroying the invasion remnants of the Barbarian land. Hence the name of these monsters, who are Baal's assault troops who armies, which were found on laying siege to the Barbarian cities of the crater left behind by Mount Arreat's destructionNorth.
[[File:Mon-crater-assault-troop1.jpg|thumb|300px|Early cinematic view.]]That is the known history of events in Diablo II, and it sets up the state of affairs in Diablo III, twenty years later. In D3 we know that the story will take players to the Barbarian lands in Act Three, where they must stand off a siege upon the stronghold of [[Bastion's Keep]], by an invading force of demons from the [[Burning Hells]].
 
 
The monsters seen on this page might be Baal's army from twenty years ago, as seen in a flashback to the plot events of Diablo II. We've seen the D3 cinematic view of Tyrael hurling his sword at the Worldstone, so we know that at least some elements of the D2X concluding plot will be shown in D3, in flashback form.
 
The other possibility is that these Crater Assault Troops are seen in the game cinematics, depicting current events, and that they are the main force invading Sanctuary, which the heroes must defeat to protect the human realm.
'''Disclaimer: '''It should be stressed that this is not official canon information, but is simply supposition and hypothesis based on cinematic scenes and the information Blizzard has released about the game plot.
