}}[[Image:Mon-unburied1.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Barbarian attacking an Unburied.]]Unburied are somewhat reminiscent of {{iw|Thorned_Hulk Thorned Hulks}} from [[Diablo II]]. Both move slowly but hit quickly with huge shoulders and club-like arms. The Unburied are fleshy and [[undead ]] (hence the name) though, rather than tree -like, and they do not possess the Frenzy ability of Thorned Hulks.
Unburied were encountered in the dungeons below the [[Tristram Cathedral]] in the [[BlizzCon 2008]] demo and have shown up in the [[gameplay movie]]s as well. Despite their size they were not especially dangerous. They just hit a bit harder and took a lot more damage than the various smaller types of [[zombie]]s.
These undead beasts will fortunately not spawn in great numbers, as seen in one of the pictures in the image gallery below. [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/small-unburied-lore-update/]
::"Being born out of pits of human misery, these beings feed on human suffering. Wherever bodies are dumped together unceremoniously, the unburied may rise". That make the Unburied another type of [[undead#Construct_Types|undead construct]].
It seems to be a mystery exactly HOW these Unburied come into existence. Where dumped bodies are held, they apparently start their existence, but is there a [[necromancer]] behind it, or is it some general perversion from [[Diablo]] that just permeates the soil to the point where bodies apparently merge into this monstrosity.This merge will also pull in any other inanimate object in the closest vicinity, such as rocks or pieces of wood. The Unburied is the result of it's surroundings, there is no single design, regardless of who or what is conjuring them. [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/small-unburied-lore-update/]
In any case, besides being a bit tougher than other creatures, they do die after being pummelled enough.
