===Ghouls===[[Ghoul]]s are some sort of reanimated corpse but nothing like slow shambling [[zombie]]s; the ghouls are fast and uncanny, running hunched over in a bestial, almost quadrupedal style. They climb quickly and leap out at the player from all angles, seen scaling a huge wall to get into the action. They seem somewhat intelligent in that they can also wield weapons, such as swords.<br><br> ===Zombies===[[Image:Mon-zombie3.jpg|thumb|A [[Zombie]].]][[Zombie]]s can be both re-animated corpses straight out of a grave, which require very little [[magic]] energy from a [[Necromancer]] to give a basic motivation (braaaains...) of destructive power. It's motivation can also be a restless spirit of the former inhabitant of the body, awakening again after death, looking for others to inflict this pain. Zombies are generally completely void of intelligence, and the wounds they received prior to their death often slows them down, making them dangerous primarily only in large numbers. They are the most basic sort of undead, often thought of as even less troublesome than [[Skeleton]]s. The one thing they have as an advantage is usually that they can take more physical punishment before they are destroyed, and the force or spirit that drives them is removed/expelled.<br><br> ===Mummies===Mummies are usually powerful warriors or kings stored in great tombs of the [[Sanctuary]] desert tombs, and when reanimated, they will react similar to [[Zombie]]s. The difference is their power and capabilities of spreading disease easier. No mummy type enemies have been announced for [[Diablo III]] yet.<br><br> ==Construct Types==[[Image:Mon-grotesque.jpg|thumb|100px|A [[Grotesque]].]]"Construct" undead can be made up of both bone and dead flesh. An undead is a "construct" if it is made up of more parts than the average corpse would have. The only example we have seen so far is a flesh construct, called the [[Grotesque]], but it'Diablowikis likely that we might see more sorts, and even bone constructs before the launch of [[Diablo 3]].<br><br> ==Incorporeal Types==A great deal of undead comes in incorporeal forms, such as [[Wraith]]s.net''This type of undead is the ectoplasmic manifestation of a soul that chose to stay in the mortal realm after losing its normal life, a spirit that has been forced to stay through [[magic]], or perhaps pulled in to the mortal realm from the spirit world. Depending on the type, they usually require weapons of magical nature to damage, and they are experts in draining speed, [[mana|energy]] or [[life]] from anyone that would have a close encounter with them.<br></fontbr> ==Higher Undead==[[Image:Mon-skeleton-king1.jpg|thumb|right|75px|[[Leoric]]]]Most general types of undead never reach a point where they are truly sentient, and even then, they are usually slaves to some sort of master that resurrected them. However, if enough dark magical power is infused in a corpse, skeleton or a skeletal construct, they can attain sentience, and even outdo their former master. Examples of this is classically Liches or Vampires, who often in turn raise lower undead as servants and guards. Besides [[King Leoric]], no other "Higher" undead has been announced for [[Diablo 3]].<br><br> ==References==* [[Writings of Abd al-Hazir: Entry no. 0008]]* [[Diablo I Manual]]* [[Diablo II Manual]]* [[Diablo II: Lord of Destruction Manual]]* [http://www.diii.net/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=564 Diablo 3 Artwork: Monsters]* [http://www.diii.net/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=546 Diablo 3 Screenshots]* [http://www.diii.net/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=597 Diablo 3 Gameplay Shots]* [http://www.diii.net/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=598 Diablo 3 Cinematic Shots] {{monster navbox}} [[category:Undead]][[category:Monsters]]
