Vessels are harmless in their human form, but become very dangerous melee fighters if they manage to pull a demonic entity into themselves. In that form they are known as Activated Vessels, and are ferocious fighters.

Background

Dark Vessels look a bit like Dark Cultists, and probably shares the background story of regular Cultists. Humans that in despair have turned to the Prime Evils for strength and power, and in the end are corrupted and used as cheap tools of the powerful demons.

The spikes that pokes out of their backs are called "Teeths of Diablo", and are indeed a metal spike inserted into the flesh of the willing recipient. The spike does not seem to cause internal haemorrhaging but instead some sort of perverse corruption of both soul and body.



Development

Dark Vessels were among the first monsters seen for Diablo 3, as they were presented in the June WWI 2008 gameplay video. They did not change during the rest of 2008.
