Fallen Overseers are new monsters introduced in Diablo III. They are said to be battle commanders, sending forth the lowly [[Fallen Imp]]s to battle. It's not known if Overseers have magics or special melee attacks, but they look quite a bit larger and fiercer than the smaller, more common types of Fallen.

Fallen Overseer

Fallen Overseers are new monsters introduced in Diablo III. They are battle commanders, fierce fighters on their own, but also gifted with the ability to cast a fury-inducing Warcry, one that turns Fallen Imps into fearsome attackers who no longer scatter when they witness another monster's death.

Behavior

Overseers were seen in action in the BlizzCon 2009 demo build. They act as battle commanders; they are the largest type of Fallen and the fiercest melee attacker, but they're most noticeable for their ability to cast a warcry that affects all Fallen Imps in range, enraging them and altering their AI to make them fearsome attackers who will not flee when they witness the death of one of their fellows.

This is much as their official description led us to believe:

Overseer - The fallen overseer drives his smaller impish charges into a frenzy with his ape-like leaping and growling. An overseer among a group of fallen is a dangerous thing, as the cowardice that usually characterizes them is overwhelmed by fear of their much larger brethren.

Besides their warcry abilities, Overseers are formidable attackers in their own right, armed with long staves to which they have crudely-affixed a pair of blunt swords. Overseers have a slow attack rate, thanks to their improvised polearms, but their vicious swings pack heavy damage for players not quick enough to avoid the fairly slow attacks.
