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 . The demons are fighting against the Barbarian in the game[[Ancient Spear]] skill video. It's not known if they will appear as monsters to fight, or if they exist only as frightening visuals The Crater Assault Troops are fighting against a [[Witch Doctor]] in the game's cinematic[[Big Bad Voodoo]] skill video.
This name is likely a place holder, given for their purpose in the cinematic, and will not be their title in the game, if when they do appear as regular monsters. They are aligned with, or may even be related to , the [[Crater Assault Flyer]], a winged demon seen in the same piece of concept art.
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 more likely possibility is that these Crater Assault Troops , who are seen in the game cinematics, depicting current events, and that they are part of the main force invading [[Sanctuary]], which the heroes must defeat to protect the human realm.
