1. MONSTERS

I have provided three separate charts which list the monsters
encountered
in Diablo. The monsters are organized into the following "types". All
creatures of the same type look exactly the same in shape (except as noted
below), but color, resistances and abilities vary between monsters of the
same "type":

Type

1 Fallen Ones (regardless of weapon type)
2 Scavengers
3 Zombies
4 Skeletons (including archers)
5 Goat Men (including archers)
6 Winged Fiends
7 The Hidden
8 Gargoyles
9 Horned Demons
10 Overlords
11 Mages
12 Lightning Demons
13 Magma Demons
14 Spitting Terrors
15 Balrogs
16 Knights
17 Vipers
18 Succubus Demons
19 Diablo

In the first two charts, unique monsters are indicated with an asterisk(*).
A random number of unique monsters are present in each game. Each of the
unique monsters listed below, if present in a particular game, can always
be found on the level indicated opposite its name. The first chart lists
the hit points (in the single player version of the game) resistances,
immunities and special abilities of the monsters, and presents the monsters
alphabetically based upon the level of the dungeon in which they can
initially be encountered. The special abilities which a specific monster
possesses, such as the ability to cast spells, are indicated in parenthesis
after the resistances and immunities of the monster, but special abilities
which all monsters of a certain type possess (such as the ability of
"Spitting Terrors" to spit), are not generally listed in the charts below.
The second chart organizes the monsters by type and the third chart provides
some additional information about the unique monsters in the game.

As stated above, the hit points listed below relate only to the single player
version of the game. The hit points for monsters in the multiplayer version
of the game are higher than those listed below (generally twice as high, plus
one hit point to the low or high end of the range). As you increase the
difficulty level of a multiplayer game, the hit points of monsters increase
based upon the following formula: Nightmare = 100 +(3 x Normal) and Hell=200
+ (4 x Normal). In a subsequent version of this information guide, I will
provide a list of the hit points of the monsters in the multiplayer version
of the game on the “normal” difficulty level. The hit points of the
monsters on the other skill levels can be obtained using the formula listed
above.

Since the game does not indicate the specific resistances and immunities of
the "unique" monsters, I have indicated in square brackets immunities and,
less frequently, resistances which I have observed. All unique monsters
carry magic items which, except as noted below, are randomly determined.
I have also listed unique items which can always be obtained by killing a
particular monster. Unique items are described in detail in part 3 of this
information guide.
