Top 10 Coolest Monsters From the Diablo Series:

1. Baboon Demon - I've always been very interested in anything related to primates. When I was a little kid, my room was literally decorated with nothing but monkey, ape, lemur, etc. related decorations. The designs of these monsters is very interesting in my opinion.

2. Zombies - Being the hardcore horror fanatic that I am, it should be no surprise that many of my favorite Diablo enemies are of the undead variety. The zombies in this game, while not as scary as the ones Rick Grimes and the gang encounter are still pretty freaking terrifying.

3. Goatman - The Goatman is basically the Diablo equivalent to the satyrs of Greek mythology. It is a very awesome looking creature with some pretty badass attacks. It's my second favorite Goatman after Jim Breuer's character on Saturday Night Live.

4. Treasure Goblin - The treasure goblin is a goblin that holds a treasure chest on it's back. Talk about a very unique, creative concept for aq video game mob.

5. Unicorn - If anything I find this one very humorous. What is a unicorn doing among a bestiary full of bloodthirsty demons, hoardes of the living dead, and fearsome creatures of the night. I heard that the developers only included the unicorn to poke gentle fun at the many people who criticize the game for being "too dark". It's one huge self aware joke that proves even the developers of such a serious, incredibly dark and twisted video game know how to laugh at themselves every once in a while.

6. Vulture Demon - In the small rural town I live in, I actually encounter real vultures quite a bit. One of my favorite things in the vast realm of fiction is anything that I can relate to. Having seen vultures fly directly over my head and nearly touch me in real life adds a bit of realism to this already awesome video game beast.

7. Ghoul Lord - The harder the enemies are to kill, the more awesome they are to me. Video games are all about challenge in my opinion so fighting this huge thing that is practically a Lich is one of the most kick ass virtual battles I've ever experienced on my computer screen.

8. Harvester - One of my biggest fears is having my own organs harvested, probably a result of accidentally stumbling upon the Invader Zim episode "Dark Harvest" one day as a little kid. I used to have a reoccurring nightmare growing up about my own mother of all people cutting opened my stomach and proceeding to eat all of my organs thanks to that awful traumatizing Nickelodeon cartoon. I have very vivid memories of waking up screaming in terror clutching my Falco Lombardi plush in my arms just hoping that he would send the Arwing to rescue me soon. But as I grew older, the more I had developed a sadistic enjoyment towards fear. All the things that once terrified me as a child had begun to entertain me. Instead of SpongeBob, I found myself watching scary videos on YouTube in my free time just hoping that I don't get caught due to the amount of gore and bad language in those videos. So my fear of having my organs harvested has now developed into the "good kind of fear". It is a concept that gives me that adrenaline rush that all horror fans love. So with all that being said, a terrifying computer controlled monster that harvest people's organs is right up my alley. That is one of the scariest and also most epic things I've seen in all my years of gaming.

9. Wendigo - The Wendigo is yet another primate inspired being that totally intrigues my monkey loving self. 'Nuff said.

10. Vampire - In a world where Twilight has given the once terrifying blood sucking beasts a girly, sparkly reputation. I think it's great to see shows, movies, games, etc. that portray vampires the way they are supposed to be:Evil bloodthirty monsters. Vampires are meant to be something for little girls to be afraid not for them to gush over. This monster greatly averts the girlification of vampires that had run rampant in pop culture for a long time.
