Risen Dead

Risen Dead (aka zombies) are undead reanimated human corpses that hunger for the blood and flesh of the living.

One of the standard monster types in the Diablo games (and all fantasy RPGs), Zombies are one of the easier types of monsters to slay, notable for their slow foot speed and lack of armor or weaponry. There are higher level types of zombies, and many much more fearsome members of the Undead, but every adventurer must start off with some shambling bags of experience, and zombies admirably fill that role.

• As well as a physical melee attack the Deathspitter can also spit at you from afar which inflict physical damage. They can also puke up pools of vomit from which emerge Decayers. No more than 5 of those can be alive at the same time.

Wretched Mothers are the same type of monsters as Deathspitters but they are specific to The Fallen Star quest where you need to hunt down three and eventually the Wretched Queen.

The wretched mothers were once normal women, but in death they serve a dark purpose. These horrors feast upon the remains of cadavers, then use foul magic to regurgitate the bodies as newly formed risen dead. One must slay the mother quickly or her nightmarish spawn will continue to grow in number. -- Deckard Cain
