::''I suspect the existence of at least two other types of fallen, but I will need to conduct further research before I reveal my theories as to the ultimate familial structure of these fiends.
==Fallen Varieties==[[Image:Fallen-army.jpg|thumb|right|200px|An army of assorted Fallen.]]The only Fallen seen so far in screenshots are the red-skinned "Fallen" type. There were four types of Fallen found in Diablo I and Diablo II: Fallen, Carvers, Devilkin, and Dark Ones. A fifth type, the Warped One, was added as a Guest Monster in the D2X, v1.10 patch. It's not known if all, or any, of these subtypes will return in Diablo III. It does seem likely that we'll see subtypes, since the other monsters so far revealed in D3 are slotted into the same organizational system that was used in earlier games in the series.
==Pre-Confirmation Hints==
[[Image:Mon-fallen-shaman-bashiok.gif|left|100px]]
Prior to the official announcement of the return of the Fallen, their return was hinted at by the forum icon of Diablo III Community Manager [[Bashiok]], which featured an early animated render of the Fallen Shaman. There were also some hints to be found in the [[Writings_of_Abd_al-Hazir:_Entry_no._0017|The Writings of Abd Al Hazir]].
==Fallen History==
Fallen have featured in both previous games in the Diablo series.
===Diablo I===
Fallen debuted in Diablo I. See their page in the {{iw|Fallen_One Diablo I Wiki}} for more details. In that game they were simple little enemies, memorable chiefly for their annoying AI and swarming behavior.
===Diablo II History===
The {{iw|Fallen Diablo II Fallen}} are very similar to the first game's little demons. They are slightly different in that they wear more clothes, and use a wider variety of tools, but they all have the same basic behaviour, which is milling about, attacking the player and running away if they see a friend get killed. They no longer use "War Cry Mode", but they have {{iw|Fallen_Shaman Diablo II Fallen Shamans}} that can resurrect them with a little waving of their staves.
===Diablo II Lore===
Quoted from the {{iw|Fallen Diablo II Fallen}} lore.
::''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 [[Prime Evils|Brothers]]' sway may be stronger than previously understood.
===SuperUnique Fallen===
There were several memorable SuperUnique fallen heroes found in Diablo II. It's unknown if any of these will return in D3, or if the Fallen heroes we do see will pay some sort of homage to their predecessors. The following links point to the appropriate SuperUnique pages in the D2 wiki.
