[[Plagued]] bosses add poison damage to their attacks, and presumably enjoyed greater resistance to poison damage as well. They gave off a visual identifier, with little clouds of green smoke rising up from them.
Early in development they exploded in a huge cloud of poisonous gas.[http://twitter.com/Diablo/status/37649605197832192], as can be seen in the screenshot below.
By the Beta Test this effect had been modified so that the monsters created green poison pits on the ground, which dealt heavy DoT to any player who stood in one. A long battle with Plagued bosses will result in much of the ground being covered in these green pits, giving players very few safe places to stand.
