Beasts are large, buffalo-like herd beasts seen in the plains areas of Diablo III. They have a very fast charging attack, and gore with their huge tusks up close, though the few seen in the WWI 2008 gameplay movie died pretty easily. They're not just animals either; they've been mutated by Diablo (or someone?) to become monstrous, as a close up view of their face demonstrates.

The one that charges in the gameplay movie signals his intent before the charge, by pausing for a moment, pawing with one forelimb, and snorting a great plume of smoke before rocketing straight at (and hitting) the Witch Doctor.

Spells and Abilities

• Charge

Background

Little is known why these creatures that seem to be herbivores would go out of their way to attack people passing them by. It's clear that some sort of demonic corruption has taken place.

Development

The Beasts were one of the first types of monsters shown at WWI 2008 in Paris in the gameplay video.
