====[[Siegebreaker Assault Beast]]====
[[Image:Mon-siegebreaker1.jpg|100px|left]]''"Living siege Engine of Hell"''. The [[Siegebreaker Assault Beast|Siege Breaker]] is an absolutely massive "miniboss" shown in the [[WWI 2008]] gameplay video. It's apparent that Blizzard is taking the gameplay with even the minor bosses to a whole new level in Diablo III! We don't know if he's a random encounter or not, but this big bad-ass is found in [[Leoric Highlands]].<div style="clear:both;"></div>
====[[Thousand Pounder]]====
[[Image:Mon-thousand-pounder1.jpg|100px|left]]Inside the [[forgotten Tombs]] of the [[WWI 2008]] gameplay video, we got familiar with the [[Thousand Pounder]], a boss with apparent random [[monster attributes]] ([[Gluttony]] & [[Incarnate]]), as he was summoned in to the scene. He's also seen in concept art work, and looks more like an overly powerful monster than an actual type of boss, like a SuperUnique.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
===Standard Monsters===
Even the "standard" monsters of Diablo III comes in many different shapes and forms, and employs different types of obstacles for the player.
====[[Activated Vessel]]====
[[Image:Mon-activated-vessel2.jpg|left|100px]]Scary looking humanoid demonic creation made from willing [[Dark Vessel]]s. Activated Vessels are mutated, half-demonic things who fight furiously and move very quickly. It's a good idea to kill off the Dark Vessels before they can activate, if at all possible.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
====[[Beast]]====
[[Image:Mon-beast2.jpg|left|100px]][[Beast]]s are large, buffalo-like herd beasts seen in the plains areas of Diablo III. They have a very fast charging attack, and gore with their huge tusks up close, though the few seen in the WWI 2008 gameplay movie died pretty easily. They're not just animals either; they've been mutated by [[Diablo]] (or someone?) to become monstrous.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
====[[Berserker]]====
[[Image:Mon-berserker1.jpg|left|100px]][[Berserker]]s are the muscle of their evil, demon-worshiping cult. They are massive, powerful men who wear hoods and loincloths and carry huge mauls, with which they are happy to bash your brains in.
Berserkers have a special overhead smashing attack, which they telegraph by powering up their mauls with a reddish glow. Their overhead attack is highly damaging, but if you dodge it the Berserker will hit the floor so hard their maul breaks through the stone and gets stuck there.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
====[[Crawling Torso]]====
[[Image:Mon-crawling-torso.jpg|left|100px]][[Crawling Torso]]s are one of the more disturbing monsters we've yet seen. They are the upper half of a [[Walking Corpse]], a type of [[zombie]]. If the walking corpse is killed with a powerful hit, it will die completely. If it's only hit with a glancing blow though, it will break in half, and the upper body will become... A crawling torso.
====[[Cultist]]====
[[Image:Mon-dark-cultist1.jpg|left|100px]][[Cultist]]s are human mages who spawn with [[Berserker]]s. Cultists are very weak, but they can shoot fireball projectiles and summon powerful [[Dark Demon]]s, so it's wise to bypass the hulking Berserkers to kill the Cultists as quickly as possible.
Cultists can be recognized from [[Dark Vessel]]s by their lack of a staff. Vessels have a long staff which curls at the end, on which they lean while summoning up the demons by which they are possessed.
====[[Dark Demon]]====
[[Image:Mon-dark-demon1.jpg|left|150px]]These odd, half-skeletal creatures are summoned from raw, red manhole-like openings in the ground by [[Dark Cultist]]s. They are quadrupedal, and look a bit like a dog crossed with a crocodile, then turned inside out. They are quick of foot, but appear to possess only melee attacks.
