}}The only named type of Goatman Shaman we've seen thus far are [[Moon Clan]] Shaman, but it's all but certain there will be a variety of different goat clans in [[Diablo III]], as there were in the earlier games in the series.   Though [[goatmen]] were a popular monster in [[Diablo 1]] and [[Diablo 2]], the Goatman Shaman is a new unit, and nothing is yet known about its abilities. Presumably it will be able to buff goatmen in various ways, and perhaps [[heal]] or even [[resurrect]] them as well. It is known that the shaman have intelligent AI; one in the [[WWI 2008]] [[gameplay movie]] runs when its herd is wiped out by a [[Witch Doctor]]'s [[Wall of Zombies]], finds a new pack of goatmen, and takes up a position behind them.  There is a very interesting sequence seen in the gameplay movie when a goatman shaman unleashes a trap in what looks like a scripted event. The shaman runs near a goatcampgoatman camp, and then becomes briefly unhittable; both the [[Witch Doctor]] and the [[Barbarian]] in the game swing right through him twice. The shaman then casts a very short range type of nova spell that freezes both the characters for a considerable amount of time. While they remain immobilized, a vast herd of goats comes rushing into sight, up from behind the goatcamp.  As the gameplay's narrator says, it's a nasty trap. We're not permitted to see just how nasty though, since another Barbarian and Witch Doctor join in just at that moment, and take on the new herd of goats while the first two characters slowly thaw out.  ===Spells and Abilities===Very little is yet known. It's very possible that the Goatman Shaman will be able to use a magical attack, [[heal]] or resurrect. Current known spells are:* '''Frost Nova''' (*)<br>Real name is unknown, and exact damage/functionality is also unknown. The Goatman Shaman of the [[WWI 2008]] [[gamelpay video]] uses a short range "nova-like" spell that freezes a [[Barbarian]] and [[Witch Doctor]] player to the ground for several seconds. They eventually thaw out of it.  ===Known Subtypes===* [[Moon Clan]]  ===Related Monsters===* [[Goatman]] 

As ==Background==The Goatman Shaman share the gameplay's narrator says, it's a nasty trap. We're not permitted to see just how nasty though, since another Barbarian and Witch Doctor join in just at that moment, and take on the new herd background story of goats while the first two characters slowly thaw outother [[Goatmen]].
