Fallen are believed to return in Diablo III, but they have yet to be shown in any official (or unofficial) screenshots. We only know of them thanks to this animated gif of a Fallen Shaman, which Blizzard's D3 Community Manager, Bashiok, had as his forum avatar. Fallen were in D1 and took on an expanded role with new AI, shamans who were capable of raising them from the dead, and grouping habits in D2 (Diablo 2 Fallen). How they'll progress in D3 remains to be seen, but everyone seems to like this monster type, so their return is a popular one.

In Diablo II, Fallen could be resurrected by Fallen Shaman, and killing resurrected ones would not give experience. It's likely we'll see a similar system in Diablo 3. Both the Diablo I and Diablo II Fallen applied a "cowardly" AI, where if a player killed one, all others who "saw" this would run away for a short time period, making them annoying to hunt and kill, and slightly unpredictable when a big group would come back to fight.

Background

(Background from the Diablo II Fallen) These demonic imps have of late become very common throughout the woodlands of the Western Kingdoms. Small and vicious, many worry that if these beings were to band together in large numbers, they might easily overthrow some of the smaller cities in the region. Luckily, cowardice appears to be one of the chief features of this species, and they quickly retreat at the sight of one of their brethren falling in battle. Although Fallen seek to congregate together, so far only small encampments have been found, with no obvious overall organization. While there are wild rumours of Fallen Shaman Priests leading camps of Fallen, supposedly with the power to raise them from the dead, this has yet to be substantiated. Carvers and Dark Ones, tougher cousins of the Fallen, have also been seen closer to the fringes of civilization, indicating that the Brothers' sway may be stronger than previously understood.
