The '''[[Image:Fallen-shaman-art.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Fallen Shaman.]]Fallen Shaman''' are almost (but not quite) confirmed to return in [[Diablo 3]], their ability to resurrect their kin intact. They are small no longer the only higher level Fallen, and have been joined by [[demon]]ic [[casterFallen Overseer]]s who previously have helped the cowardly [[and perhaps other yet to be revealed Fallen]] by resurrecting their fallentypes. It's not yet known quite how all the types of Fallen are [[demon]] type [[monster]]swill interact, and they've not yet been seen in action.<br><br>==Diablo III MonsterFallen Shaman==

}}[[Image:Mon-fallen-shaman-bashiok.gif|left|128px]][[Fallen]] are believed to return in [[Diablo III]], but they have yet to be shown in any official (or unofficial) screenshots. We only know of them thanks to this animated gif of a Fallen Shaman, which [[Blizzard]]'s D3 Community Manager, [[Bashiok]], had as his forum avatar. Fallen are also mentioned briefly in [[Writings_of_Abd_al-Hazir:_Entry_no._0017|The Writings of Abd Al Hazir]]. Fallen were in D1 and took on an expanded role with new AI, shamans who were capable of raising them from the dead, and grouping habits in D2 ({{iw|Fallen_Shaman Diablo 2 Fallen Shaman}}). How they'll progress in D3 remains to be seen, but everyone seems to like this monster type, so their return is a popular one. In [[Diablo II]], Fallen could be resurrected by Fallen Shaman, and killing resurrected ones would not give experience. It's likely we'll see a similar system in Diablo 3. Both the [[Diablo I]] and Diablo II Fallen applied a "cowardly" AI, where if a player killed one, all others who "saw" this would run away for a short time period, making them annoying to hunt and kill, and slightly unpredictable when a big group would come back to fight. ===Spells and Abilities===* '''Fireball''' - Shooting a relatively slow fireball that does fire damage.* '''Resurrection''' - Resurrects [[Fallen]] of similar type. Does not resurrect other Fallen Shaman.''This is purely speculation based on the {{iw|Fallen_Shaman Diablo 2 Fallen Shaman}}.''
==Behavior==
===Known The Fallen Types===* Shaman are said to retain their ability to resurrected dead [[FallenImp|Imps]]* [[Fallen Shaman]]''[[Diablo 3]] . They might bring even more have other crowd control skills as well, but with other higher level types of fallen. We'll wait and see. The two above are not even confirmedFallen in Diablo III, the shaman may be purely a healing/resurrection unit.''
It's not known if they can still shoot fireballs, but it seems likely. They are armed with a long dagger as well as their staves, so it seems likely that they still possess their melee stabbing attack.

==Background==
(Background from the {{iw|Fallen Diablo II Fallen}}) These [[demonic]] imps have of late become very common throughout the woodlands of the [[Western Kingdoms]]. Small and vicious, many worry that if these beings were to band together in large numbers, they might easily overthrow some of the smaller cities in the region. Luckily, cowardice appears to be one of the chief features of this species, and they quickly retreat at the sight of one of their brethren falling in battle. Although Fallen seek to congregate together, so far only small encampments have been found, with no obvious overall organization. While there are wild rumours of [[Fallen Shaman]] Priests leading camps of Fallen, supposedly with the power to raise them from the dead, this has yet to be substantiated. Carvers and Dark Ones, tougher cousins of the Fallen, have also been seen closer to the fringes of civilization, indicating that the [[Prime Evils|Brothers]]' sway may be stronger than previously understood.
==Diablo I Monster==
Fallen Shaman does not appear in [[Diablo I]].
==Diablo II Monster==
The {{iw|Fallen_Shaman Diablo II Fallen Shaman}} are a natural extension of the [[Fallen]] that were brought over from [[Diablo I]] to [[Diablo II]]. It shows that they have a genuine culture, and the use of personalities (Fallen walk around and mutters the name of one of their three "demi-gods", {{iw|Bishibosh Bishibosh}}, {{iw|Rakanishu Rakanishu}} and {{iw|Colenzo_the_Annihilator Colenzo the Annihilator}}. Their casting abilities and resurrecting capabilities fit in well with the cowardly Fallen, and makes an encounter with these little demons a lot more interesting.
==Development==
Fallen Shaman were a relatively challenging and popular monster in [[Diablo II]], and are most likely to appear in [[Diablo III]]. Regular [[Fallen]] have been around since [[Diablo I]] and the fact that [[Bashiok]]'s avatar is a Fallen Shaman can be taken as a sort of "confirmation". Obviously they have modelled the Fallen, so the chance that they would be excluded isn't very big.

==Trivia==
Jon Boos (or what it was), one of the main artists on Diablo II got immortalized by having one of the three personality names of the Fallen being named from him. Please add full info about that here if you know more, and remove the commentation, and remove the commentation on the trivia category at the bottom of the page.
