 The following sections have been saved for posterity, tracking the progress of the Siegebreaker over Diablo III's (very) long development. They are obviously out of date, but still interesting to a fan of the series.
 ===Fatalities===
-[[Image:Mon-siegebreaker-decapitation.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Siegebreaker biting off a [[Barbarian]]'s head. A [[death|spectacular death]].]] Besides his gargantuan size and speed, the most talked about feature of Siegebreaker's appearance in the [[WWI 2008]] [[gameplay movie]] were the [[Death#Special_Death_Animations|fatalities]] he delivered to two of the four characters fighting him. The most memorable was the [[death]] of a [[Barbarian]] when Siegebreaker picked up the hero and outright bit his head off, then threw down the decapitated corpse with a howl of rage. In result of this action, Siegebreaker's jaw was covered with blood and body parts until the end of the battle. A [[Witch Doctor]] was similarly destroyed, not by a bite, but by a spike to the ground, after being picked up and howled at.

-Quizzed by a member of the community in January 2012, if death by decapitation was still in the game Blizzard relayed they were not.<ref>[http://blues.incgamers.com/Posts/10/1/40/819/146178/wtf-no-more-death-animations Death by Decapitation Removed] - Blizzard, 30/1/2012</ref>
+Sadly, these features did not make it into the game, as [[Bashiok]] admitted in early 2012.<ref>[http://blues.incgamers.com/Posts/10/1/40/819/146178/wtf-no-more-death-animations Death by Decapitation Removed] - Blizzard, 30/1/2012</ref>
 <blue>Unfortunately we never managed to get these implemented. They were a really cool idea, but a pretty huge amount of work. The one we showed of the Siegebreaker was a scripted sequence we set up specifically for that video. It was never implemented, and never actually worked without someone sitting there typing in a bunch of commands to get it all to fire off properly. It's still something we'd like to do, though.</blue>

 ===Death Spawn===
-[[Image:Mon-siegebreaker-corpse1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Life fire dies out.]]Another interesting trick of Siegebreaker's is his death animation. He crumbles down to pieces in a very pretty way, like a decaying, hollowed volcano, but then sends out five jets of red light, which swirl around the screen for a moment before crashing to earth. Where the lights land, in the cemetery where the battle took place, great numbers of [[skeletons]] spawn. It's not clear why a giant centaur-dog beast like Siegebreaker would spawn human skeletons when he dies, but it is certainly a cool effect.
+[[Image:Mon-siegebreaker-corpse1.jpg|thumb|Life fire dies out.]]Another interesting trick of Siegebreaker's as seen in the WWI 2008 movie was his amazing death animation. In that video when he died he crumbled to pieces like a decaying, hollowed volcano, before sending out five jets of red light. These swirled around briefly before falling to the ground and spawning vast numbers of skeletons at each point.

 * Charge
 * Trample
 The array of abilities of the Siegebreaker is mainly for physical [[melee]] combat, and he(she?) does not have any magical abilities or spells. The swipe of his clawed hand will do significant damage to anyone caught in it, as will his charge and trample. You might get to experience some cool [[death|death animation]] sooner than you'd imagined...

 * '''Grab and Throw''' - The breaker's most dangerous attack, he will grab the player, lifting them up and roaring in their face, before smashing them into the ground. Originally this ability would be a killing blow on the player, where the breaker would snap their body in half with his mouth and throw the lifeless corpse onto the ground. That has since been removed.
