+'''Act I'''
-[[Image:Mon-dark-vessel4.jpg|left|thumb|Dark Vessels in an incantation circle with one [[Activated Vessel]].]]This type of monster is likely called just a "Vessel", and the "Dark" prefix to their name denotes a particular type of Vessel. This would mean that other monsters named "Vessel", like "Shadow Vessel" and the like might appear later.

+'''Act II'''
-Dark Vessels look a bit like [[Dark Cultist]]s, and probably shares the background story of regular Cultists, but Vessels lean on tall crooks, and remain motionless until they transform, while Cultists are mage-like enemies who cast a variety of spells and summon demons.

 ==Background==
 Dark Vessels look a bit like [[Dark Cultist]]s, and probably shares the background story of regular Cultists. Humans that in despair have turned to the [[Prime Evil]]s for strength and power, and in the end are corrupted and used as cheap tools of the powerful [[demon]]s.
-The spikes that pokes out of their backs are called "Teeths of Diablo", and are indeed a metal spike inserted into the flesh of the willing recipient. The spike does not seem to cause internal haemorrhaging but instead some sort of perverse corruption of both soul and body.

		+	The cultists were performing a strange ritual when I saw them, today. One of their number stood soundlessly while others thrust long spikes deep into his spine.
