This FAQ is something I initially was going to put together as a monster
listing, but it has just grown to include items,shrines,spells,books and
quests. Unfortunately it looks a lot better as a text document as
opposed to a "news" posting - all of the underlining, etc. has gotten a
bit messed up. If I post an updated version, I'll try to fix it up
prior to posting (technical assistance welcome). If anyone out there
has a web page with a Diablo section, and would like to add this FAQ,
contact me first (I can also give them a much cleaner text version).
In order for the spacing to work properly, you have to "maximize" your
viewing window in Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer.

1. LIST OF MONSTER ATTRIBUTES
The following is a list of monsters encountered in Diablo. The
statistics given reflect the attributes of the monsters in a single
player game. The "lvl" statistic indicates the level of the dungeon in
which a particular monster can initially be encountered. The monsters
are divided into the following "types" - all creatures of the same type
look exactly the same in shape, but colour, resistances and abilities
vary within the same "type":
1 Fallen Ones
2 Scavengers
3 Zombies
4 Skeletons
5 Goat Men
6 Winged Fiends
7 The Hidden
8 Gargoyles
9 Horned Demons
10 Overlords
11 Mages
12 Red Storm/lightning Demons
13 Magma Demons
14 Spitting Terrors
15 Balrogs
16 Knights
17 Vipers
18 Succubus
19 Diablo
Unique monsters are indicated with an asterick (*). A complete listing
of monsters, including unique monsters, by type is contained after the
following chart. Special attacks are indicated in parenthesis after
resistances and immunities. The creatures are listed alphabetically
based upon the earliest lvl of the dungeon in which I have encountered
them. Note that the special abilities of certain classes (such as the
ability of 'Spitting Terrors' to spit), which all creatures of that
class possess, are not given. Since the game does not indicate the
specific resistances and immunities of the 'unique' monsters, I have
indicated in square brackets immunities which I have observed. I have
also indicated the unique item (unique items are described in detail in
part 3 of this FAQ) which can be obtained from killing certain unique
monsters.

3 ITEM LISTING

more accurately reflect the ranges). There does appear to be some
overlap between the ranges. Rather than provide the list
