Beasts are one of the three classifications of monsters in Diablo III. All monsters belong to one of the classifications in Diablo III, and certain spells or items are more effective against different types of monsters.

These classifications are quite similar to those used in Diablo II, with one known difference. What were called "Animals" in Diablo II are "Beasts" in Diablo III.

The classifications of monsters we use in Diablo III are:

The Beasts classification is all monsters that generally seem to be more part of nature or the environment than direct creations of Hell. They are all distinguished by a lack of intelligence, and instead have mostly feral instincts, or basic "hunter" type behaviour. Some of these animals do indeed come from the Burning Hells, however, but they are tools for mayhem used by other Demons.

A few "animal" type enemies can also be humanoid creatures, that are just not demons. Humans are included in that.

For a full list of Beast-type monsters, check out the Animals Category. You can also go to the Diablo 2 Wiki to the find Diablo 2 Animals. Note that there is a large, bull-like monster called the Beast. It is a Beast-type monster, naturally, and no one would complain if the game developers changed its name to something less redundant and potentially confusing.
