'''Cultists''' and '''Dark Cultists''' are humans who worship the [[Prime Evil]]s in the [[Triune]] religion/cult and gain powers and abilities from their dark masters. Cultists are [[DemonHuman]] type [[monster]]s.
Though the full variety of this monster family has not yet been revealed, there are known to be numerous types of Cultists, including foot soldiers, warriors, mages, summoners, and more.

==Diablo III Monster==*Dark Cultist[[File:Dark-demon3.jpg|thumb|left|Summoning a [[Dark Demon]].]]*Enraged ZealotCultists are human mages who spawn with [[Berserker]]s. Cultists are very weak, but they can shoot fireball projectiles and summon powerful [[Dark Demon]]s, so it's wise to bypass the hulking Berserkers to kill the Cultists as quickly as possible.*Deranged Cultist
Cultists can be distinguished from [[Dark Vessel]]s by their lack of a staff. Vessels have a long staff which curls at the end, on which they lean while summoning up the demons by which they are possessed.'''Act II'''
The cultists also have a weak attack of their own, but it's unknown if they can summon more powerful beings to the [[physical realm]].*Deranged Cultist*Crazed Cultist*Dark Zealot

==Background==
Little is known about these worshippers of demonic powers. [[Abd al-Hazir]] came across them on his travels in the [[Western Kingdoms]], and he made an entry on his meeting with the cultists in his [[Writings_of_Abd_al-Hazir:_Entry_no._0042|42nd entry]] of the [[Writings of Abd al-Hazir]], and which mysteriously also became his last.
==Lore==
A dark coven has formed in Tristram and I fear that their superstitious violence may damn the whole region. I discovered very little during my eavesdropping--except that the word "Jumper" was repeated several times in their chants. Oh well, now I journey to the safety of my home, where I may put these worries behind me.
