==Diablo III Monster==[[File:Dark-demon3.jpg|thumb|left|Summoning a [[Dark Demon]].]]Cultists 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.''Act I'''
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.Cultist*Dark Ritualist*Dark Zealot*Deranged Cultist*Enraged Zealot
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]].

==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.
:''As another spike was readied, I knew I could watch no more. I trembled with the thought of those nails being driven into me should I be caught. I averted my gaze as I heard the revolting squish of another spike sunk into willing flesh. My eyes fell on the robe of the lead cultist. The intricate runes woven into his robe undulated and swirled in sickening movement. As I watched, horrified, I could feel my sanity crumbling away. I began to back away from the wicked tableau, forcing myself to move slowly while my mind screamed for me to flee with abandon. When I could contain myself no longer, I broke into a full run, not caring what sound I made. I ran until I collapsed. And then, as soon as I was able, I staggered to my feet and ran some more.''
