'''Savage Beasts''' are corrupted animals of the [[Western Kingdoms]] who now charge-attack anyone passing by on sight. They are [[Beasts|beast]]-type [[monster]]s.
  
Beasts are large, buffalo-like herd beasts seen in the plains areas of ''Diablo III''. They have a very fast charging attack, and gore with their huge tusks up close, though the few seen in the WWI 2008 gameplay movie died pretty easily. They're not just animals either; they've been mutated by Diablo (or someone?) to become monstrous, as a [http://www.diii.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=614&si=beasts close up view of their face] demonstrates.

They all have the same special attack, '''Charge'''. As the name suggests this is a giant head butt with a run-up.  The animal snorts before it's about to charge so it's easily avoidable as he's locked onto your position at that point and won't alter his course so step aside to avoid getting hit.
  
The one that charges in the gameplay movie signals his intent before the charge, by pausing for a moment, pawing with one forelimb, and snorting a great plume of smoke before rocketing straight at (and hitting) the Witch Doctor.

Savage Beasts are corrupted animals of the Western Kingdoms who now charge-attack anyone passing by on sight. They are beast-type monsters.

They all have the same special attack, Charge. As the name suggests this is a giant head butt with a run-up. The animal snorts before it's about to charge so it's easily avoidable as he's locked onto your position at that point and won't alter his course so step aside to avoid getting hit.

Lore[edit | edit source]

The large, sluggish beasts can thrive in any grassland or forest, provided there is enough water. Farmers will recognize these brutes as the savage cousins of the common packbeast-- a tame breed that was likely domesticated nearly two thousand years ago. One can hardly imagine the trouble that effort must have taken.
