One of the more interesting monsters seen in the WWI 2008 gameplay movie, the Grotesque are basically living piñatas. They are fat, white, humanoid monsters, who either don't have an attack or a very weak one. What they do instead is run up to a player who comes into range, hits them, and are capable of receiving quite a few hits, bend over backwards, and rupture into a massive fountain of wriggling silver eels. There seem to be far more eels within a grotesque than their volume would permit, but such is the nature of magic.
The eels, properly called Lamprey are wriggling creatures that must be killed lest they consume your character's toes, but they seem to die very quickly, and on the whole the Grotesque/Lamprey combo looks more inventive and amusing than dangerous. One AoE attack usually kills them all.
Spells and Abilities
Not a spell per se, but an effect of killing the Grotesque: He explodes into a swam of Lamprey.
Known Subtypes
The Corpulent is not confirmed as an ingame monster, but a very likely candidate.
Related Monsters
These eels are expelled from the Grotesque when he is killed.
Background
Nothing is yet known about the source of the undead Grotesque. It looks like a construct of human body parts, who either just have Lamprey inside the tissue, or is designed with Lamprey in mind. Like a Lamprey container.
Diablo I Monster
The Grotesque did not feature in Diablo I.
Diablo II Monster
The Grotesque did not feature in Diablo II.
Development
In an interview with Anthony Rivero[1], the designer of the Grotesque, he mentioned the "Corpulent" as the name for this monster. It could be the monster "family" name, or possibly just an alternative name.
Media
You can find pictures in the Diablo 3 screenshot and picture gallery:
