Accursed' are swift and acrobatic undead monsters that swarm players. Easy to kill one at a time, harder in greater numbers.

Diablo III Monster

The Accursed are a new monster type for Diablo III. They are blackish-blue undead with spikes rammed into their necks. Accursed spawn in great numbers and are quite but fleet of foot and quick of movement, but are fairly weak and easy to kill. The Accursed are first introduced in the sewers of Act 2 of Diablo 3

The Accursed might be undead, but are nothing like slow shambling zombies; the Accursed are fast and uncanny, running hunched over in a bestial, almost quadrupedal style. They climb quickly and leap out at the player from all angles.

Background

Lore

The accursed were created when a necrotic plague spread through Kehjistan centuries ago. The infected watched in terror as their flesh blackened and died; the strongest medicines could not stop the decay. Eventually they fell into a dormant state, and their bodies were piled up in dark and forgotten places... where they could rest undisturbed.
