Diablo III Boss Modifiers are special bonus properties that [[bosses]] and [[champions]] randomly spawn, or that they have preset by the developers. These grant the bosses extra speed, damage, the ability to teleport or duplicate themselves, and much more. Regular monsters sometimes appear with one of these properties, presumably as part of their base stats. [[Molten]] skeletons, for instance, appear to replace the "Burning Dead" skeletons seen in past Diablo games.

A property seen on some ranged attacking bosses in the Blizzcon 2010 demo. This appeared to increase the size and damage of their projectiles, but the damage wasn't noticeably giant, and the shots didn't explode upon impact, as Warcraft 2 fans might have expected, given the utility of the human catapult, the Ballista, in that title.

Diablo 3's version of Lightning Enchanted bosses, these guys emitted sparks when struck, added lightning damage to their attacks, and presumably resisted lightning damage as well. It's unknown if Multi-Shot will return as a boss property in Diablo 3, but if so it's assumed that Diablo 2's buggy, mega-damage from MSLE bosses will not be repeated in Diablo 3.
Diablo 3's version Their sparking properties had been turned up a great deal as of Lightning Enchanted bossesBlizzcon 2010, these guys emitted and a fight with them would wind up with half the screen covered in blueish sparks. The sparks when struckseemed almost like blood, added lightning coursing out of the bosses as they took damage to their attacks, and presumably resisted lightning mostly running in directions away from the player attacking them. These sparks were more visual than deadly, and did minimal damage as well. It's unknown if Multi-Shot will return as a boss property in Diablo 3, but if so it's assumed that Diablo 2's buggy, mega-damage from MSLE bosses will not be repeated in Diablo 3was an impressive visual.
::It’s a substantial speed increase; I got a Doppelganger, Fast, Desert Wasp, and the boss and its clones were moving like lightning. Far faster than any other monster I ever saw in the Blizzcon build, and Desert Wasps usually just hovered in place, hardly moving at all. The boss and the clones did not shoot out any of the little green wasp BBs, at least.
