}}Beasts are large, buffalo-like herd beasts seen in the plains areas of [[Sanctuary]] in Diablo III]]. They have a very fast charging attack, and gore with their huge tusks up -close, though the few seen in the [[WWI 2008]] [[gameplay movie]] died pretty easily. They're not just [[animals]] either; they've been mutated by [[Diablo]] (or someone?) to become monstrous, as a close -up view of their face demonstrates.
The one that charges in the gameplay movie signals his intent before the charge, by pausing for a moment, pawing with one forelimb, and snorting a great plume of smoke before rocketing straight at (and hitting) the [[Witch Doctor]].
==Background==
Little is known of why these creatures , that seem to be herbivores , would go out of their way to attack people passing them by. It's clear that some sort of [[demon]]ic corruption has taken place.
There is speculation that the Beast [[monster]] is a violent or corrupted version of the [[Horned Ground Sloth]], a beat of burden.
