Scavengers are hound-like burrowing creatures who fight with ferocity and are quick to attack. A Scavenger is a beast-type monster.

These creatures often burrow in an open area and wait for a pray to pass within short distance, then the entire pack will burst out of the soil and attack their potential meal.

Lore

Scavengers are ugly, pathetic creatures who survive off of carrion and corpses too diseased to attract any other carnivores. I did once meet a raggedy fellow who claimed that he had trained one of the beasts to bring him large rats to eat, but I'm sure the story is utter nonsense. -- Abd al-Hazir

Trivia

The famous Abd al-Hazir had an "extremely distressing episode" during his youth involving Scavengers. He never got around to tell anyone what this was before he disappeared shortly after writing his 42nd entry about Sanctuary in article series called Writings of Abd al-Hazir.

Development

This iteration of Scavengers was first sighted in the WWI 2008 gameplay movie

Diablo I Monster

The Diablo I Scavenger is a demonic version of the regular one described here. Corrupted by Diablo himself, this variant of the carrion race is even more aggressive, and can be driven mad with the scent of death.

Diablo II Monster

The Diablo II Leapers found in the Aranoch desert are apparently genetically related to the Scavengers, but not of the exact same race. They have evolved even stronger bone muscles for leap attacks, don't burrow and have evolved an extremely slow resting metabolism to minimize water use and storage, but are otherwise quite like the burrowers. They still attack in packs, but use leaping attacks rather than an surprise attack from below.

A pack of Scavengers unburrow and begin their assault.

-}}The Scavenger returns from [[Diablo I]], and it's taken on some properties of the {{iw|Leaper Leapers}} from [[Diablo II]]. They look more like [[animal]]s than [[demon]]s, and are somewhat badger-like in their furry, striped appearance. But they leap and dart around wildly, and seem quite capable of swarming an unwary hero by sheer numbers.
-A great mob of scavengers are seen in the [[WWI 2008]] [[gameplay movie]], and they're tricky beasts. They seem to be burrowers, and as the [[Witch Doctor]] runs along, the scavengers wait until he's in their midst before they dig out of the ground and attack all at once, a dozen or more of them leaping in from all different directions.
+These creatures often burrow in an open area and wait for a pray to pass within short distance, then the entire pack will burst out of the soil and attack their potential meal.
-They're still small and rather weak beasts though, and die quickly once the Witch Doctor fights back.

-Witch Doctors also use [[undead]] versions of these Scavengers as servants, helping him in his fighting, and it's also possible to imbue them with special attacking effects such as fire or locust by casting the appropriate [[Witch Doctor Skills|spells]] on them. The undead version of the Scavenger that is used by the Witch Doctor is called [[mongrel]].

-==Background==
+==Burrowing Leaper==
-Scavengers are small, burrowing creatures that feed upon carrion. Unlike most animals of this type, however, they are extremely aggressive and will not hesitate to attack those unfortunate enough to encounter them. Scavengers have powerful legs which they use for swift springing attacks, striking at vulnerable faces and throats. Their anatomy bears a striking resemblance to that of the {{iw|Leaper leapers}} of the [[Aranoch]] desert, and thus, many researchers classify the two groups as part of the same family of creatures.
-These creatures often burrow in an open area and wait for a pray to pass within short distance, then the entire pack will burst out of the soil and attack their potential meal.
+*Appears in Act I
+*Physical attack
-Captured Scavengers are used to hunt for [[Dune Thresher]]s. Constrained with a rope, they are used as bait in groups of 3 or so. They will traditionally try to bury, and then be captured by the Thresher, who in turn will swallow them, but still be attached to the ropes around the Scavengers' necks. The little creatures' ferocious clawing will open up the inside of the Thresher's stomach before the extremely eroding acids of the creature kills the Scavengers. Still attached to the ropes, the hunter will pull the dead or mortally wounded Dune Thresher out of the sand.
+==Frostclaw Burrower==
-An ensorcelled (some say [[demon]]ic) variant is known to have plagued adventurers in the [[Tristram]] region twenty-odd years ago as well. These were also called {{iw|Scavenger Scavengers}}.
