}}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.
 
  
They're still small and rather weak beasts though, and die quickly once the Witch Doctor fights back.

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

*Frostclaw Burrower
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.
 
  
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.
