This type of monster has been referred to by the developers as a "Beast." Since that's both utterly-uncreative and confusing/redundant given that one of the three classifications of monsters in Diablo III is "beasts," it's hoped a better name will be used in the final game.

}}Beasts are large, ox-like herd beasts seen in the plains of [[Sanctuary]] in 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 [[beasts]] either; they've been mutated by [[Diablo]] (or someone?) to become monstrous, as a close-up view of their face demonstrates.
 
  
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.
