An annoying monster that spins, throwing his many small, and one large blade around, hurting anyone nearby, and also knocking them back slightly. The easiest way to deal with them is to just go ranged with spells or missiles.
 
 
 
This opponent is a lot more annoying when playing a [[Barbarian]] or other [[melee]] classes than a [[Wizard]].
 
 
 
When they die, they do so spectacularly, spinning around in the air, hitting the ground, spurting dust in the process.

==Background==
 
It will be very interesting to hear from Blizzard what the background story is for this particular monster.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
==Previous Appearances==
 
This monster type has never before seen its like in a Diablo Game.
 
 
 
 
 
==Development==
 
The Desert Dervish was first seen in August 2009 in the [[GamesCom 2009 demo]] build. It's interesting Blizzard added a "dervish" type monster, since they originally talked about a [[Dervish|Dervish class]]. The name obviously got a little downgrade, into this annoying monster.
