There is no ranger class or monster in Diablo III, but the term is commonly used for archer type characters in many RPGs. The Demon Hunter class was original envisioned as a desert ranger, wearing garments of cloth, with flowing robes and a camouflaging cape.[1]
During development the class was given a tweak away from the traditional RPG archetype, and modified into the goth, leather-wearing Demon Hunter. Compilations of early concept art make for an interesting visual comparison.
