Demon Flyer

Fliers, with a zombie.

The Pit Flyer is a large, bat-like creature found in the Act One dungeons. They spawn in flocks and possess a lightning charge to add to their melee attack.

Concept art shows a "Pit Flyer Spawner" but no such generative system has been seen for these monsters; they're just found in free flying flocks. Perhaps later in the game spawning caves are found, with greater numbers of these pests.

In addition to various screenshot appearances, there's one piece of concept art is known for this creature. It's cut into two images in this wiki for easier size comparison.

The fliers are larger than you might expect, from the concept art.
